Layoffs have impacted every industry, but the entertainment sector has been hit extremely hard. Gucci Mane admits to to monitoring these shakeups.

Now, the “TakeDat” rapper announced upcoming updates to his 1017 Records roster. On October 18, Gucci Mane took to his official Instagram to outline his pending decision.

“I just seen my P&L (profits and losses) with all my artists,” he said. “You know it’s a whole sh*t show in the industry right now, but when I’m looking at my P&L, and me being a businessman, I think that I’m going to have to release almost all my artists, except for Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano.”

Prior to Gucci Mane’s video, 1017 Records lineup reportedly consisted of Bigwalkdog, Brezden, Foofiano, Hotboy Wes, Kato2x, Li Rye, Lil Zay, and Mac Critter. Sadly, several acts including Enchanting and Big Scarr tragically died from drug overdoses. Currently, Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano are serving time behind bars for separate legal cases.

Gucci Mane went on to say: “This is a decision I didn’t want to make. I thought about it. I could keep all of them under the contract. But I said hey, fuck it. Let’s just make the unselfish decision, and let them take their talents elsewhere.”

Before you find yourself upset at the news, Gucci claimed to have “already reached out” to those he intend to drop. However, Gucci remains steadfast that he is still “looking for new talent” to join both Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano, and that remains where he plans to focus his efforts.

Still users online took to his comment section to urge aspiring acts to stay away claiming his record label is “cursed.” This is a claim Gucci Mane’s wife Keyshia Ka’Oir previously slammed.

Gucci Mane is looking for artists. Yesterday (July 5), the “There I Go” rapper posted an open call to his official Instagram page.

In the clip, Gucci expressed his desire to sign two new acts (one woman and one man) to his record label. “Who wanna be tha next millionaire,” he wrote. “I got $2 million ready! 1milli for tha next male SUPERSTAR & $1 million for tha next female SUPERSTAR! I gotta a brand new record label, SO ICY MILLIONAIRE! Tag the hottest unsigned artists now & DM ME! #SoIcyMillionaire,”

Typically, artists would jump at the opportunity to gain the backing of a hip-hop heavyweight like, Gucci. However, many users online have begun to urge independent acts to stay far away from the dotted line.

“I would if it wasn’t cursed,” wrote one user.

“I’m ok sir, I would like to live a lil bit longer,”

“These n****s scared sent the contract flee,” chimed another.

Another user posted a screenshot to recap the outcome of Gucci’s 1017 Records roster, including the late Enchanting and Big Scarr, Pooh Shiesty, and more.

“Bro shut that label down lol,” penned another.

Gucci Mane’s wife and entrepreneur Keyshia Ka’Oir previously slammed users for spreading the superstitious tale.

by

Nearly two months after the death of rapper Big Scarr, Gucci Mane has announced the upcoming release of his Posthumous album. Gucci’s label 1017 Records will be dropping The Secret Weapon on February 17th. The late rapper died on December 22nd, 2022 after ingesting a lethal dose of prescription pills. He had worked with 1017 Records on his The Secret Weapon album prior to his demise. According to HipHopDX, the album will be featuring rappers including Gucci, Key Glock, Pooh Shiesty, Enchanting, and Seddy Hendrinx.

Gucci took to his Instagram to announce the album with a teaser of the 15-song track list. The Secret Weapon would have been Big Scarr’s 7th studio album collaboration with 1017. The Tennessee-born rapper signed with Gucci’s label in 2020. In the caption for Gucci’s album announcement, the record executive wrote, “my secret weapon Big Scarr album drops this Friday!

Gucci To Drop The Secret Weapon On 2/17

The My Secret Weapon album follows Gucci’s intense disagreements with Big Scarr’s family. The feud began with his contribution to the funeral costs, which family members claimed to be insufficient. While Gucci’s wife Keyshia Ka’Oir released receipts revealing Gucci’s $20k contribution to N.J. Ford & Sons Funeral Home, Big Scarr’s sister Alexandra Woods was still not happy.

Woods took to Instagram live to explain. “That 10K ain’t help with nothing but obituaries and flowers, boo,” she said. “My brother worth more than 10K,” she said. “Yea, Gucci sent $10,000 and somebody else on another team. So, it was $20,000 in all. And we ain’t get the flowers. I don’t give a fuck what nobody say.” She goes on to reveal that the $20k barely made a dent in the total bill of $60k. But, Woods also received her own version of backlash, along with the family, after Big Scarr’s former girlfriend stepped in. She shamed the family for making a music video at his funeral and for wearing his jewelry. The woman referred to the whole spectacle as “disgusting.”Big Scarr’s posthumous album The Secret Weapon will be available to stream on all platforms 2/17 at midnight.

Big Scarr’s Girlfriend Calls Out His Family For Allegedly Shooting Music Video At Funeral

by

It’s only been a few weeks since Big Scarr tragically passed away at just 22 years old. According to reports from his family, the 1017 rapper died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.

Unfortunately, the weeks following his death have been messy. It all began when the late artist’s siblings publicly called out his label boss, Gucci Mane, for ghosting the family. This is allegedly after he offered to cover the costs of the funeral soon after his passing.

Now, the late rapper’s girlfriend is joining in to call out his family for their mishandling of his passing. Additionally, she goes on to accuse them of shooting a music video at the funeral service.

“Y’all really FAILED Alex as family & friends. Y’all aired ALL his personal business out, from the preparation to the funeral till afterwards. Wtf happened to privacy?? Flexing in his jewelry like it’s yours. PUT HIS SH*T UP! He not here to put it on you so don’t wear that sh*t. EMBARRASSING as hell,” she writes in the lengthy Instagram post on Monday (January 9).

“It’s only one BIG SCARR he can never be duplicated! Can’t even grieve in peace! Too much clout chasing going on! Sh*t disgusting!” she continues afterwards.

Furthermore, the family also accuses the “Wake Up in the Sky” rapper of asking for Scarr’s 1017 chains back.

However, Gucci’s wife, Keysha Ka’oir took to her Instagram account to defend her and her man. In the post, she subsequently shares a photo of a receipt from a funeral home for $10,000. “PAYMENT DIRECTLY TO FUNERAL HOME! Leave my husband alone!” she writes. “We also sent FLOWERS & not even a THANK U,” she says in a separate post to her Instagram Story.

Scarr’s sister, Alexandra Woods, says that they did receive the $10,000 payment. However, she says it’s not enough. “That’s why we said he didn’t help.. That wasn’t enough. My brother funeral was 60K in all,” she allegedly says in an Instagram Live.

The “Havin Fun” rapper’s father has since spoken out, defending Gucci Mane amid all of the drama. “Certain things were said that shouldn’t have been said. It was wrong. Man-to-man, I wish someone would’ve just dialed my number and talked to your guy, 100. All this out of control. Gucci and them the best thing to ever happen to my son,” he says explicitly in an Instagram post.

Scarr dropped his debut album, Big Grim Reaper, in April of 2021 and was a prominent member of Gucci’s label, 1017 Records. Rest in peace Big Scarr.
