"Muwop" is a song by American rapper Latto (then known as Mulatto) featuring fellow American rapper Gucci Mane, released through Streamcut and RCA Records on July 30, 2020. Released as the second official single from Latto's debut album Queen of da Souf, the single was serviced to American rhythmic contemporary radio on August 25, 2020. The song was produced by J. White Did It and heavily samples the 2007 single "Freaky Gurl" by Gucci Mane, taking its instrumental and chorus. The song's title combines Latto's stage name at the time of its release and one of the nicknames used by Gucci Mane, "Guwop". "Muwop" peaked at number four on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.
