Wizkid Lights Up Gunna’s ‘The Last Wun’

When Gunna unleashed The Last Wun on August 8, 2025, the music world braced for impact — and got it.

The 25-track epic, his sixth studio project and final bow under YSL Records and 300 Entertainment, landed with a guest list that reads like a genre-blending fantasy draft: Offset, Burna Boy, Asake, Nechie, and Nigeria’s global icon, Wizkid.

It’s Wizkid’s feature, though, that has hijacked the conversation. Social media lit up instantly — from worshipful praise (“Wizkid is no longer a normal human, he’s now a god!!!”) to critical curiosity about whether the track was a calculated crossover or a genuine creative meeting. Either way, it’s become the album’s focal point.

Sonically, the collab is a masterclass in balance. Gunna’s smooth trap delivery wraps around Wizkid’s silky, minimalistic melodies, creating a track that shimmers with Afrobeats warmth and R&B undertones while still hitting hard in hip-hop’s lane. It’s easy to play once — and even easier to loop all day.

Beyond the music, the feature speaks to a cultural moment. Wizkid’s global magnetism continues to draw big names into Afrobeats’ orbit, while Gunna’s embrace of African heavyweights signals rap’s growing appetite for international flavor. For Nigerian stars, it’s another foothold in U.S. charts and playlists; for Gunna, it’s proof that his final YSL chapter is as globally minded as it is musically ambitious.

The verdict? Whether fans call it a flawless fusion or a strategic safe play, the pairing has already achieved its purpose: sparking debate, dominating feeds, and boosting streams. In the streaming era, that’s the truest measure of impact — and The Last Wun just scored big.
