Gunna Confirms Joint Album with Offset Is 'in the Works'
In a surprise announcement during his Apple Music Live celebration in Los Angeles on Monday night (Sept. 22), rapper Gunna confirmed that he is working on a joint album with Migos alum Offset.
"Yes, it's in the works," Gunna said to Ebro Darden, who had been teasing the idea of a project between the two rappers. "But I, like, we spacing it out. You know, he dropped his album, I dropped my album. I was on his, he was on mine. And I feel like that was sprinkles and breadcrumbs for us to give you that meal soon."
The news comes after rumors had been circulating about a potential joint album between Gunna and Offset last year, with Set teasing tracks featuring the two rappers trading bars on Instagram.
Gunna's confirmation of the project has sent shockwaves through the music industry, with fans eagerly anticipating what is expected to be a highly anticipated collaboration. The two rappers have already shown their chemistry in previous collaborations, including Gunna's feature on Offset's album "Set It Off" and Offset's appearance on Gunna's album "DS4EVER".
Industry insiders are hailing the news as a major coup for both artists, who have been making waves in the music scene with their respective solo projects. "This is a game-changer," said one industry expert. "Gunna and Offset are two of the most talented rappers out right now, and to see them come together on a joint album is going to be huge."
The news also comes as Gunna is still riding high from the success of his latest album "The Last Wun", which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Offset, meanwhile, has been touring in support of his own solo project.
As for when fans can expect the joint album, Gunna remained tight-lipped, but hinted that it's still in the early stages of development. "We're just taking our time and making sure we get it right," he said. "But trust me, it'll be worth the wait."
