Young Stunna on How Flvme Influenced Him
It’s not every day that an artist gets to share a song with someone who helped shape their journey especially when that influence dates back to the very beginning.
But for Young Stunna, that moment came to life as he publicly celebrated being featured on Flvme’s newly released album BLVCK & WHiTE, on a song titled “Habibi.”
Taking to Instagram, Young Stunna didn’t hold back his excitement or his gratitude. He recalled how Flvme’s 2017 track “The Message” made such an impact on him that it quite literally disrupted his teenage love life.
“Yeah I remember it was 2017 when Flvme dropped ‘The Message’, I was 17 years old & because of that soooong my love life was screwed,” he wrote.
But beneath the humor was something much more powerful, a genuine appreciation for how one song changed his relationship with music forever.
It wasn’t just about admiring Flvme’s lyrical ability or vocal tone, it was the vulnerability, the storytelling, and the ability to make emotion sound powerful. That’s what resonated and it stuck.
In that same post, Stunna added: “Your music influenced me a lot big bro & it’s still on my playlist. Can’t believe I’m on your sophomore projeezy, this is crazy. Took me back home and I appreciate that gang, felt good to pay a visit. Thank you for trusting me.”
What makes this moment even more meaningful is the collaboration itself. On “Habibi”, Flvme and Young Stunna bring their individual styles together seamlessly.
The song is a heartfelt fusion hip-hop meets soul, rap meets amapiano flair. It’s smooth, reflective, and unexpectedly tender, just like the journey that brought them together.
For Young Stunna, what started as admiration from afar has now become mutual respect, captured forever on a track that fans are already calling a standout.
And for the listeners, it’s a reminder of how inspiration works in real time: quietly, consistently, and sometimes with life-changing results.
Flvme didn’t know in 2017 that “The Message” would plant a seed in a 17-year-old kid who would later become one of the voices of a new generation. But he created from a real place and that realness reached someone who needed it.
Now, years later, that same kid is standing beside him on a major release, returning the energy with vocals, presence, and appreciation.
With Habibi out now on BLVCK & WHiTE, this is not just a song, it’s a story and both artists have just added a new chapter to each other’s legacy.
