Release
On August 2, 2020, the track briefly appeared online in its entirety after it was accidentally posted on Tekashi's website before it was taken down a few minutes later. However, his team decided to release the official track later the same day, in attempts to stop leaks from hitting social media.[5]
Music video
Unlike "Gooba", "Trollz", and "Yaya", the video for "Punani" was filmed outdoors in New York City following 6ix9ine's release from house arrest.[4]
