"bread & butter" seems to be a hit even in prison, which of course brought about jokes concerning the MC's plea deal.

The intense social media debate surrounding Gunna's status as a "rat" after he took a plea deal in the YSL RICO case is almost too tiresome at this point. Sure, some of that is because of other legal issues that came about, but it's also just infected every possible way of observing his movement. For example, not even a social media clip of inmates enjoying his music video for "bread & butter" can go without a jab at his "snitch" status. While such situations are always hard to assess from an outside perspective (as many fans have tried to), it can feel frustrating to argue about that when so much of the YSL trial is still in limbo.

Regardless, the video captures a group of people gathered around a TV screen in prison, where you can faintly see that Gunna's latest music video for his latest single is playing. It's unclear whether they're also singing along, although some are clearly enjoying the video to some degree. It's not very surprising considering the truckloads of people within and outside of the media that continue to show their support. With more new music promised to be on the way, it's unlikely that the College Park native will lose his fanbase quickly.

However, there are other places where the "Banking On Me" artist's music isn't getting the same warm reception. In fact, a recent clip of Gunna playing at an Atlanta club sums up the negative emotions that many view his music through these days, with the whole venue going silent and still once his verse appeared. It's an extreme reaction, whether out of solidarity for Young Thug or to hop on a snitch-bashing trend. No matter the case, it shows how contentious his case continues to be in the public eye.

Meanwhile, rappers themselves perhaps seem even more harsh and critical of the 29-year-old's actions than fans themselves. Former collaborators cut ties entirely, others have left question marks on their relationship, and many who frankly don't have a lot to do with him expressed their dislike. Yet it doesn't matter who's bumping his music where or for what reason: he seems here to stay in the near future, and probably beyond. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Gunna.
