He said, “We’re really close friends,” dismissing rumors that they're cousins. Gunna continued, “I’m becoming ready, I’m growing into being ready. Because I understand having a girlfriend and having a wife, you gotta have stability when it’s time. So I think I’m getting there.” Gunna, who was blushing while speaking about Chloe, also said it wouldn't be very “P” or “player” of her to date someone else while he prepares himself for marriage. He said, “That wouldn't be very P of her, to take my time and waste it. I for sure would keep it P if she moved on, but I wouldn't like that, no.” The two also have a song together on Gunna's album DS4EVER called “They Don't Know,” which samples Jon B's 1997 song with the same title.
