Gunna Stuns Fans By Singing Along To Victor Thompson’s Afrobeats Hit 'This Year'
Gunna wowed fans on Thursday (September 28) by showing them a whole new style: he went full Afrobeats.
The Atlanta rapper brought Afrobeats singer Victor Thompson onstage at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles, where the two dueted on Thompson’s track “This Year (Blessing).” The original track is a duet with singer Ehis D, but for this live performance Gunna stepped into the role.

Gunna’s fans were shocked by the performance, and many began to assume that he would be featured on an official “This Year (Blessing)” remix.
So far, no confirmation of that has been forthcoming, but that hasn’t stopped fans from labelling the live performance as a remix on YouTube and Soundcloud.

Gunna had notable shows on both coasts last month. He performed at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on September 9.
At the gig, Gunna showed love to his former codefendant Young Thug by flashing a message that read “Free Jeffrey” across the stage.

Both artists have worked closely together throughout their careers, but their relationship allegedly took a hit when Gunna pleaded out of the high-profile legal matter they’ve both been involved in since last year. As of now, Young Thug remains behind bars.
