“My proudest accomplishment is forgiving myself” ~ Gunplay Gunplay joins Skipping Class presented by The Progress Report for one of his most honest and revealing interviews to date. In this powerful conversation with host Lalaa Shepard, Gunplay opens up about the legal battle that changed his life, facing up to 15 years in prison, and spending over $250,000 fighting his case against his ex-wife. He speaks on clearing his name, overcoming public misconceptions, and the emotional toll the situation took on him mentally, financially, and spiritually. Gunplay also addresses the viral controversy surrounding his daughter’s GoFundMe and the accusations that he used the money to buy Rick Ross a chain. He explains his side of the story, his loyalty to Rick Ross, and their relationship today. The MMG artist reflects on his personal transformation, including stepping away from Santeria after 13 years, experiencing spiritual warfare, and turning to God for healing and guidance. He shares why cutting his locs symbolized a new chapter in his life and why forgiveness — especially forgiving himself — is his proudest accomplishment. Gunplay also discusses rebuilding his career, releasing new music, navigating life after legal struggles, his upcoming projects, and the importance of growth, accountability, and faith. This is a raw and honest look into Gunplay’s journey, redemption, and the next phase of his life and career.
