During a recent appearance on Popcast, Offset explained why he still chooses to collaborate with Gunna despite the controversy.

Offset just released his new album GMFU, and it comes with features from Quavo, Tommy Richman, OsamaSon, ApolloRed1, Don Toliver, and even Gunna.

Gunna has had trouble finding Atlanta artists who still want to work with him. Following the YSL Case, Gunna has been labeled as a "snitch." Even though there is no credible evidence to confirm such a thing, the artist has been blacklisted. However, you can always count on Offset to give him a verse.

"Spit Propane" is their latest collaboration, and Offset was given a chance to talk about it on Popcast. When asked why he still embraces Gunna, Offset made it simple.

Offset Answers Questions About Gunna

"I'm not a follower. I rock with who rock with me," Offset said. "All that bull[sh*t] divided our city and then made each artist pay for it... At the end of the day, we ran the whole hip-hop scene. Now it's a gap."

In the aftermath of this answer, Quavo took to Instagram in an attempt to get Young Thug and Gunna on good terms again. However, as you will read, Thugger was not having any of that.

"How Uma fix some sh*t I didn't break qua? I been a real man since day one, no n**** on this earth can tell u I lead then wrong or f*cked them over," he replied.

It's unfortunate that Young Thug isn't interested in reconciliation. It is something that the fans have been wanting for years. However, it is ultimately up to those involved to get in a room and have a conversation.

As for Offset, he has had no issues reconciling. Following issues with Quavo, the two are on good terms again and continue to make music together.
