Gunna’s One of Wun album has been making waves — and now, the album is also expected to land a prominent spot on the charts.
HitsDailyDouble is reporting that the initial sales projections for the YSL rapper’s newest project show an impressive 79,000 streams and 1,000 albums sold. This would put the album at No. 2 on the charts, just behind Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Society.
These numbers, according to the outlet, beat their initial sales and chart placement projections.
Released on May 10, the project made headlines upon its release because it hears Gunna — who has no shortage of adversaries in the rap game himself — seemingly takes thinly-veiled jabs at Drake on more than one occasion.
On the track “Still Prevail,” Gunna raps: “I clear all the tabs/ They pay for their abs.”
The line echoes claims made by Kendrick Lamar and Rick Ross in recent weeks that Drake underwent surgery to give himself a more defined stomach.
“You had that surgery, that six-pack gone. That’s why you wearin’ that funny shit at your show. You can’t hide it, n-gga,” Rozay sneered at the end of his diss song “Champagne Moments,” while K. Dot rapped on “Euphoria”: “Let your core audience stomach that, then tell ’em where you get your abs from.”
Gunna also appears to reference the longstanding ghostwriting allegations surrounding Drake on “Collage,” rapping: “Thank God I didn’t need a writer/ I work but they think they entitled.”
This subject has also been used as ammo against the Toronto native by Rozay and Kendrick, with the latter saying on “Euphoria”: “Ain’t 20 v. 1, it’s 1 v. 20 if I gotta smack n-ggas that write with you.”
Many fans were expecting Gunna to have smoke for Future on the album after the Freebandz boss appeared to throw shade at him on social media.

Pluto hinted at releasing a new mixtape on May 10, the same day One of Wun was scheduled to arrive, and wrote: “Fuck yo album Shit ain’t slappin like my MIXTAPE.”
Seemingly interpreting the tweet as a shot in his direction, Gunna wrote on his own X (formerly Twitter) account: “Turn this shit bac up Notch……! Fuc What These boys talkin bout.”
Future’s post, it turns out, was actually a reference to his new collaboration with Tee Grizzley, “Swear to God,” which includes the aforementioned line.
