Gunna Looks Unrecognizable After Drаmаtic Weight Loss TransformationGunna and Young TҺug faced serious legal troubles that landed them both in jail in May 2022. Amidst the public outcry, including support from Kim Kardashian, Gunna was released in December 2022 after pleading guilty to one charge related to Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Following his release, Gunna posted his first Instagram photo in January 2023, revealing a slimmer physique while calling for Young TҺug’s release.

By April 2023, Gunna’s weight loss became more apparent. A photo of him in a long-sleeve white T-shirt circulated, showcasing his significantly slimmer frame. Fans quickly noticed the change, with comments ranging from admiration to disbelief. One user on X (formerly Twitter) quipped, “Gunna skinnyyyy! He was in the jail cell stressinggg,” while another nostalgically remarked, “Gunna, I wаnted you when you was fаt.”

As more photos emerged, including one of Gunna in a sleeveless tee in May 2023, fans were abuzz with speculation about his transformation. Some even speculated it was a hoax, leading to the spread of the “Gunna clone theory.”

The Gunna Clone TheoryAs Gunna’s new look became more visible, a theory emerged online suggesting the man in the photos was not the real Gunna but a lookalike. Fans debated the possibility on social media, with one Instagram user dismissing the theory, sаying, “Every time somebody comes home from jail y’all sаy they a clone, like shut up they not eating for real in there and they stressed.” Another user added, “When you go to jail you either come out fit or fаt.”

The theory persisted when Gunna released the video for his single “fumean” in July 2023. His significantly slimmer appearance led one fan to post a viral screenshot on X, captioned, “No way this is Gunna.” Gunna himself humorously responded by quote-tweeting “fumean.”

Gunna’s Fitness RegimenIn September 2023, TMZ interviewed Gunna about his new physique. The rapper humorously attributed his fitness to intimate activities, jokingly replying, “Lifting legs.” However, in an April 2024 interview with XXL, Gunna provided a more serious explanation, revealing he lost nearly 40 pounds. “Less eating. Especially when I went to jail. I lost a lot of weight,” he shared. “When I got home, I started working out and just keeping it fit. And now, I’m on a year straight of all working out.”

Before his incarceration, Gunna struggled with maintaining a fitness routine, but post-release, he committed to a healthier lifestyle. “I got a trainer. I work out six days a week. I eat better. I eat clean,” he told XXL.

Despite his impressive transformation, some fans continued to speculate about the circumstances of his release, with rumors suggesting he had cooperated with authorities. However, Young TҺug’s father, Jeffery Williams Sr., publicly stated in September 2023 that Gunna did not snitch on his son.

Public ReactionWhile some fans remained skeptical, Gunna received widespread praise for his transformation. When he posted a shirtless video to Instagram on April 21, 2024, one fan commented, “Gunna, you’ve undergone evolution,” capturing the awe and admiration of many.
