When I back pedal the rear wheel spins backwards too.. This happens is the big and little ring and every gear I've tried.
What's causing this? Must be a freehub issue?
The wheel is a Supra RA Pro that came as stock on a Sensa road bike . Not sure what the hubs are. I think these are budget wheels tbh and they've done about 3,500 miles, maybe up to 4,000. I'm guessing the hub is cooked?
Freehub issue? Wheel rotates when pedalling backwards

The freehub just needs serviced, the pawls get gunky, causing drag, which is what is spinning the wheel. Look up the service instructions for the hub/ freehub, check or adjust bearings while you’re in there
Open it clean it grease it ride it
Doesn’t sound like the wheel or hub. Most probably the freehub. Since it’s fairly new, it could be over packed with grease or picked up dirt/gunk creating drag. No sense overthinking it. Just clean and properly relube the freehub internals and ride it.
I once had this problem with perfectly clean & lubed freehub, the only solution i found was to remove 2 out of 6 hub paws
