American rap heavyweight Gunna officially cemented his bond with South Africa last night, delivering a high-octane headline performance at the Milk + Cookies Festival. Taking over the Nasrec Expo Centre on January 11, 2026, the Atlanta superstar wrapped up his South African tour with a set that was as much a cultural tribute as it was a concert.
The atmosphere was electric long before the rapper took the stage. Chants of “Gunna, we wanna party!” echoed through the Johannesburg venue, turning a brief technical delay into a moment of pure fan-driven anticipation.
A Stylish Tribute to the 011
Known for his fashion-forward style, Gunna made sure his outfit reflected his surroundings. He stepped onto the stage in a sleek “flared pants” ensemble, accessorized with a South African flag worn as a headband. The gesture immediately resonated with the local crowd, sparking massive cheers across the arena.
The Hits: From Atlanta to Tyla
Gunna’s setlist was a curated journey through his chart-topping catalog. Highlights included:
- “Just Say Dat” (The explosive opening)
- “One of Wun” and “Hot”
- “Jump” – His hit collaboration with South Africa’s own global star, Tyla, which sent the audience into a frenzy.
The rapper took several moments to reflect on the experience, telling the roaring crowd, “I feel blessed to be here on stage, I swear to God.”
