From Allegations to Art: Unpacking “Prada Dem”
In “Prada Dem,” Gunna doesn’t shy away from the controversy. He raps,
“I set the trend, I’m a trendsetter/ I’m not a rat, still gettin’ cheddar,”
directly confronting the accusations of snitching from several corners of the hip-hop community, including artists like Lil Baby, Lil Durk, and Jim Jones. These allegations stemmed from Gunna’s plea deal in the YSL RICO case, which raised many eyebrows and led to a significant amount of speculation regarding his involvement and cooperation with law enforcement.
Despite the controversy, Gunna has been firm in his stance. Following his plea deal, he stated,
“While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way.”
