Gunna has been behind bars for a few months now that's why fans were shocked to see him announce a free event that aims to give back to the community.

According to Billboard, the 29-year-old rapper revealed on September 15 that a festival called "Gunna Fest" will happen the day after the second annual "Gunna day" in South Fulton, Georgia.

According to the official page on Eventbrite, the festival will be a "free family fun day." Presented by Gunna's Great Giveaway, the event will be giving away free merch, free food, rides, and many more.

"Gunna Fest" will be held at the 5201 Old National Highway College Park in Georgia on September 17 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.

As of this writing, it remains unclear whether Gunna will attend the event or not, it was also not included in the poster if they're going to have musicians perform at the said festival.

To fans who wanted to attend the event, "Gunna Fest" is free, but they have to register on official website mentioned above.

Gunna Gives Back to the Community

This won't be the first time the embattled rapper did something good to his Georgia community as South Fulton Mayor William "Bill" Edwards declared September 16 as "Gunna Day" to honor his philanthropic efforts to the residents around the area.

102.7 KIIS FM previously reported the Mayor's statement regarding the event, saying the rapper created Gunna's Drip Closet and Goodr Grocery Store to provide free food, clothing, and toiletries for the students of McNair Middle School.

Gunna has been doing this for years as he previously gave away $100,000 worth of gift cards to families during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The outlet noted that the "Banking On Me" hitmaker had a "difficult childhood." His single mother raised him along with his four brothers.

Gunna Remain Behind Bars

The outlet reported that the rapper still remain behind bars at a Fulton County jail since being arrested a few months ago in connection to RICO indictment.

He was not the only musician involved in the incident as Young Thug was also allegedly a part of the Young Slime Life gang along with other two dozen people.

Despite facing a legal battle, the rapper continued to grace fans with new music videos like "Banking On Me" and a video performance of "Missing Me."
