American rapper Gunna has solidified his place in South Africa’s music scene, earning multiple platinum and gold certifications from the Recording Industry of South Africa (RiSA). His sophomore album, WUNNA, achieved platinum status, while his hit singles fmean and pushin P went double platinum and platinum, respectively.
Adding to his accolades, Dollaz on My Head (feat. Young Thug), Drip or Drown, Met Gala, and One of Wun all secured gold certifications, reflecting his growing influence in the country. Ayanda Mnguni, senior marketing manager at Warner Music Africa, presented these awards, emphasizing Gunna’s deep connection with South African audiences.
A Love Affair with SA Music and Culture
Beyond the numbers, Gunna’s bond with South Africa continues to grow. His collaboration with Afropop star Tyla on Jump and its Johannesburg-shot music video showcased the city’s vibrant culture. The rapper also fully immersed himself in local nightlife, visiting iconic clubs and connecting with fans.
His high-energy performance at Heineken House 2025 further cemented his status. Delivering electrifying renditions of fmean and pushin P, Gunna had the crowd singing along to every word.
“Johannesburg is a vibe, and I’m ready to bring the heat to Heineken House. This is going to be one for the books!” Gunna said, capturing the essence of the event, which celebrates music, art, and fashion.
Sharing the Stage with SA’s Best
Heineken House 2025 also featured some of South Africa’s top artists, including Young Stunna, DBN Gogo, Morda, Maglera Doe Boy, Dee Koala, and 25K. The lineup blended local and international talent, redefining the fusion of global and African artistry.
As Gunna continues to collaborate with South African artists and engage with fans, his impact on the country’s music scene is only set to grow.
