"If you've lived in New York long enough, you become inured to the very idea of randomness. No day is complete without a subway encounter between two loudly aggressive strangers that would be frightening if you hadn't seen thousands of identical standoffs across generations. However, even having earned those bulletproof layers over many years, there's a level of randomness that - even in New York, even to a New Yorker -will occasionally beg the question, "What the fuck, why?!""
"In addition, Gunna has recently moved aggressively into the wellness space, coming for 50 Cent Vitaminwater money with Flerish - "a watermelon-based hydration drink" that sounds like what would happen if an Italian spot made Gatorade. He invested in Cymbotika, an organic beauty and health brand, and he's possibly using this occasion to launch something called Wunna Run. Also, it's for charity, for his Atlanta-based non-profit Gunna's Great Giveaway."
Living in New York creates familiarity with random public encounters, yet some events still provoke acute surprise. Atlanta rap star Gunna announced a free 5K around Brooklyn's Prospect Park, prompting curiosity about his motives. He released The Last Wun on August 8th, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and has around $166,000 in sales. He has expanded into wellness with Flerish, "a watermelon-based hydration drink," invested in Cymbotika, and may be launching Wunna Run. The event served promotional purposes and benefited his Atlanta non-profit, Gunna's Great Giveaway, with free registration and optional donations.
