The Origins of National Guwop Day

With his signature ad-lib, 'Brr!', and unique style, Gucci Mane became known as the 'Trap God' and a true icon in the rap industry.

It was on May 26, 2016, when the internet exploded with excitement, and National Guwop Day was born. Fans took to social media to celebrate their love for Gucci Mane and his music, using the hashtag #NationalGuwopDay. From that day forward, May 26th became a day to honor the legendary rapper and all things Guwop.
