This is set to be the rapper's last album with the label YSL amidst their controversy. It is his second album after his release from jail in 2022, after he and other YSL members were arrested. YSL was charged with being a gang, allegedly taking part in numerous crimes instead of being a music label.

Gunna was released from jail in 2022, and many have accused him of cooperating with the authorities, leading to his early release. Meanwhile, YSL boss Young Thug and other members stayed in prison for longer.

Hence, as per Rolling Stone, Sergio Giavanni Kitchens is parting ways with the label, and The Last Wun is his last album under them.

Kitchens also spoke to iHeartRadio about his new album, sharing the meaning of the title, in an interview published on August 8. He said:

"I am the one, as you know, from One of Wun to Wunna. Basically, I feel like I'm the last one standing, and I know I'm the last one here. That's why you got the stone sculpture, because I feel like stones last forever."

He said that the album highlights his growth as a person, adding:

"Me living life itself and wanting to show the growth is what inspired me to put this album together. I'm excited for my fans to hear every song on the album. It's a great body of work."

The Last Wun features numerous artists across its 25 tracks, including the likes of Burna Boy, WizKid, Asake, Offset, and Omar Grand. Kitchens also thanked his collaborators while speaking to iHeartRadio, adding:

"Shout out to everybody who helped me put this album together, man. I'm excited for my fans to get every single song."

Gunna, notably, also features in Way It Is with Justin Bieber earlier this year in the latter's album, Swag, which was released on July 11, 2025.
