American rapper Gunna has officially submitted his hit track “Wgft” featuring Nigerian superstar Burna Boy for consideration in the Best Melodic Rap Performance category at the upcoming 2026 Annual Grammy Awards.
The track, taken from Gunna’s August 2025 album The Last Wun, has garnered significant attention for its sleek blend of Atlanta trap rhythms and Afro-fusion energy, making it a strong contender for the category. The collaboration with Burna Boy adds a crucial global element, with the Nigerian star’s rich vocals and rhythmic flair giving the song an international edge.
Song Details and Critical Acclaim
“Wgft” (short for We Gon’ Find Time) has been praised by both fans and critics for its infectious hook, smooth tempo, and standout production. The song’s jazz-infused melody, paired with Gunna’s signature laid-back flow, captures the cross-genre sound the Recording Academy has increasingly embraced in recent years.
For Gunna, this submission could mark a career-defining moment. Although previously nominated for his hit Pushin P, Gunna is yet to win a Grammy. His team’s confidence in the song’s critical and commercial strength, coupled with Burna Boy’s presence, signals a strong bid for a major breakthrough on music’s biggest stage.
Meanwhile, Burna Boy continues to extend his global reach, building on his already impressive Grammy history, including wins and nominations in the Best Global Music categories. His appearance on “Wgft” not only shows his versatility but also reflects the deepening synergy between African artists and U.S. hip-hop heavyweights.
Official nominations for the 2026 Grammy Awards will be announced later this year.
