“We come from our own lingo, our own slang,” Gunna said of the city’s influence on music and more in an interview with Complex. “It’s how we talk, having different words and nicknames for certain things in life.

When asked about his favourite fashion brands in an interview, he dished about his must-haves. “I don’t have a top 3, I like so many. I got Off White today, Amiri Jeans, Pyer Moss hoodie. It’s different. It’s my personal style, it’s how I feel,” he revealed.
