Sunday (Aug. 31), organizers took over RFK Festival Grounds in Washington, D.C., where Gunna surprised the crowd by bringing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rap-up.com\/article\/gunna-wizkid-forever-preview-the-last-wun\">Wizkid<\/a> on stage for their live debut of \u201cforever be mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a video shared on the rapper\u2019s Instagram, he was in the midst of performing the track from <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rap-up.com\/article\/gunna-the-last-wun-debut-no-1-billboard-200\">The Last Wun<\/a><\/em> when Wizkid slowly made his way out. The two artists dapped each other up, hugged, and gave the roaring crowd a live rendition of the Turbo-produced track.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWiz!\u201d the Nigerian singer shouted, before Gunna launched into his own verse: \u201cSlow it down, baby, we ain&#8217;t gotta rush \/ Unless you want me to speed up \/ Hit it like a clutch, put some speed on it, uh.\u201d Watch the footage below.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rap-up.com\/article\/gunna-asake-headline-inaugural-afro-fest-2025\">Rap-Up previously noted<\/a>, Afro+ Fest had a big lineup of artists from all around the globe for its debut. In addition to Gunna, the festival featured co-headliner Asake, along with Shenseea, Uncle Waffles, Foggieraw, and Shy Glizzy.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cfukumean\u201d rapper hasn\u2019t officially announced tour plans for <em>The Last Wun<\/em>, making the f\u00eate one of the first chances fans had to catch him live since the album dropped in August. Talking to <a href=\"https:\/\/power1051.iheart.com\/content\/2025-08-07-gunna-shares-the-true-meaning-behind-his-new-album-the-last-wun\/\">iHeartRadio<\/a> about the project&#8217;s creative direction, Gunna explained, &#8220;I am the one, as you know, from <em>One of Wun<\/em> to <em>WUNNA<\/em>. Basically, I feel like I&#8217;m the last one standing, and I know I&#8217;m the last one here. That&#8217;s why you got the stone sculpture, because I feel like stones last forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Last Wun<\/em> spanned 25 songs, making it one of Gunna\u2019s lengthiest projects to date. The LP included early singles \u201cwon\u2019t stop\u201d and \u201chim all along,\u201d plus contributions from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rap-up.com\/article\/are-offset-and-gunna-finally-working-on-a-collab-tape\">Offset<\/a>, Burna Boy, Nechie, and Asake. &#8220;Shout out to everybody who helped me put this album together, man,&#8221; the Georgia native told the radio station.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> Thomas Haslett<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rap-up.com\/article\/gunna-wizkid-forever-be-mine-afroplus-festival\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Image Credit Kayla Oaddams \/ Stringer via Getty Images and Per Ole Hagen \/ Contributor via Getty Images Image Alt Gunna performs at 2024 BET Experience Concert Series at Crypto.com Arena and Image Size landscape-medium Key Takeaways: The surprise collab marked a rare crossover moment between Afrobeats and U.S. Hip Hop.
