Gunna and Burna Boy’s ‘WGFT’ Hits No. 55 Peak on Billboard Hot 100 in Week 12
In a testament to the enduring power of cross-cultural collaboration, Gunna’s “WGFT” featuring Burna Boy has surged to a new milestone on the Billboard Hot 100, landing at No. 55 in its 12th week on the chart. The track, a slick blend of Gunna’s melodic trap sensibilities and Burna Boy’s Afro-fusion flair, holds steady from the previous week’s position, underscoring its growing resonance with American audiences.
Released as part of Gunna’s critically acclaimed sixth studio album ‘The Last Wun’—which dominated the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for three weeks straight—”WGFT” debuted at No. 94 back in August, a modest entry that has since transformed into a slow-burn success story. Produced by Turbo and Shootie, the song’s infectious hook and Burna Boy’s standout verse have propelled it upward, fueled by a 11% increase in official streams to 7.3 million and a staggering 109% jump in radio audience impressions to 1.3 million, per Luminate data.
This peak marks a subtle but significant victory for both artists. For Atlanta’s Gunna, it’s another feather in a cap already brimming with Hot 100 entries, including recent smashes like “Just Say Dat.” The track now stands as his 19th top 10 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it continues to climb. Burna Boy, the Nigerian powerhouse often hailed as the “African Giant”, sees this as an extension of his U.S. chart conquests—his eighth Hot 100 appearance overall, following landmarks like “Last Last” (No. 44 peak). More notably, “WGFT” delivered Burna his first top 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, a genre-blending nod to his seamless integration into hip-hop’s elite circles.
What makes “WGFT” stand out in 2025’s crowded singles landscape is the effortless alchemy of worlds, with Billboard praising it as the sixth-best cut from ‘The Last Wun’, noting how Burna “effortlessly outshines” with his verse, even if it’s not his most explosive. Across the pond, the song has mirrored its transatlantic appeal, peaking at No. 22 on the UK Official Singles Chart after 12 weeks.
With ‘The Last Wun’ still echoing in hip-hop conversations and Burna Boy’s global tour dates selling out, the duo’s chemistry can be expected to spark more joint ventures. For now, No. 55 feels like just the beginning, proof that when trap meets Afrobeat, the charts can’t help but move.
