Big Scarr’s Father Defends Gucci Mane & Atlantic Records Amid Family Drama

January 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Big Scarr’s father condoned recent comments made by the rapper’s family and friends.

In the past two days, a dispute between Big Scarr’s label and his family spilled out into the public eye. Scarr’s sister and friend alleged that Gucci Mane didn’t aid with funeral expenses, despite promising to do so. His sister also claimed Wop asked for Scarr’s 1017 chains back.

However, Wop’s wife, Keyshia Ka’oir revealed Gucci paid $10,000 directly to the funeral home and pulled out receipts to corroborate the claims. Then, she revealed the flowers that were sent for the funeral after Scarr’s sister claimed they never received the flowers.

Finally, Big Scarr’s father chimed in on the matter surrounding his son’s death and the label he was signed to. Unlike Scarr’s sister, his father had nothing but great things to say about Gucci Mane and Atlantic Records. He put an end to the argument, confirming Keyshia Ka’oir’s claim that Wop already put down $10K while Atlantic Records also offered another $10K.

Firstly, Scarr’s father thanked Atlantic Records and Gucci Mane for giving his son a major opportunity in the music industry. Then, he clarified that he never allowed anyone to speak out surrounding Scarr’s funeral.

“I can’t let y’all throw dude under the bus like that. C’mon now, the truth is the truth, man,” he said. “I gave nobody permission to do that.”

He also confirmed that he covered the rest of the funeral costs after receiving $20K from Wop and Atlantic Records. “I covered the rest. I appreciate that, big time. 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,” he continued. “All this out of control. Gucci and them the best thing to ever happen to my son.”

Later on, an Instagram page that appeared to belong to Big Scarr’s girlfriend condemned the family drama spilling out onto Instagram. The post criticizes those closest to Scarr for airing out his personal business and violating his privacy after his passing.

“Y’all really FAILED Alex as family & friends. Y’all aired ALL his personal business out, from the preparation to the funeral till afterwards,” she wrote. “Wtf happened to privacy? Flexing in his jewelry like it’s yours. PUT HIS SHIT UP! He not here to put it on you so don’t wear his shit.”

When it rains, it pours. Rapper Gucci Mane knows this, unfortunately, all too well. After his label’s 1017 Records, rising act Pooh Shiesty was sent to prison in April 2022, Bigg Scarr, another artist on his roster, unexpectedly passed away days before Christmas. As the Atlanta musician attempts to pick up the remaining pieces of his label, he has announced his upcoming So Icy Boyz: The Finale album. Unfortunately, his attention has been shifted elsewhere instead of focusing on the project.

The “So Icy” rapper has found himself amid a feud with his late artist’s siblings. Initially, Quezz Ruthless, Scarr’s younger brother, took to Instagram to share that despite Gucci’s promise to pay for the funeral arrangement, the family hasn’t received any assistance. In an Instagram live broadcast, Quezz said, “You said to [the family] you was finna pay for the funeral, then you lied,” later adding, “You didn’t have to lie! You ain’t have to go ghost, either. It was gonna get paid for either way. You could’ve just said you ain’t have the money. You don’t get no type of respect for that.”

Quezz alleged Gucci requested that Scarr’s 1017 chains be returned, to which he replied, “You not getting them chains. You ain’t even text and check on the family, but you text about some chains. I can’t believe you.”

Gucci Mane’s wife, Keyshia Ka’oir, took to her Instagram stories to upload a picture of a receipt for a payment to N.J. Ford & Sons Funeral in Memphis, Tennessee. In the post’s caption, Ka’oir wrote, “Payment directly to funeral home. Leave my husband alone.”

Woods later confirmed Ka’oir was telling the truth. Still, their contributions did not cover the entire funeral service. Stating in an Instagram live, “Yeah, Gucci sent $10,000, and somebody else had another $10,000. So it was $20,000 in all. We ain’t get the flowers. I don’t give a f*ck what nobody says. Like I said, Gucci ain’t help with sh*t.”

Gucci Mane is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

January 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Three days before Christmas 2022, 1017 signee Alexandert”Big Scarr” Woods passed away from an accidental prescription drug overdose in his native Memphis, Tennessee. He was only 22 years old.

Now, almost a month following Scarr’s death, Scarr’s family and his longtime collaborator, Quezz Ruthless, allege that Gucci refuses to pay for his artist’s funeral. Gucci’s wife, Keyshia Ka’Oir, responded to the family with receipts to back up her story that Gucci actually paid the funeral home and even sent flowers, but received no thanks or appreciation from the family.

In a video, Quezz stated, “You say to them you finna pay for the funeral, then you lie. You didn’t have to lie! You ain’t have to go ghost either, cuh. It was gonna get paid for either way. You could’ve just said you ain’t have the money. You don’t get no type of respect for that, cuh.

Big Scarr’s Sister Claps Back At Keyshia Ka’oir: “F*ck Them Receipts That Annabelle Uploaded”

January 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In the weeks since Big Scarr’s untimely passing, his friends, family, and fans have been in mourning. However, drama is now emerging after the late rapper’s friend called out Gucci Mane for allegedly failing to follow through on his promise to pay for his signee’s funeral.

The gossip came over the weekend after Quezz Ruthless began venting about the situation on Instagram Live. “You didn’t have to lie! You ain’t have to go ghost either, cuh. It was gonna get paid for either way. You could’ve just said you ain’t have the money. You don’t get no type of respect for that, cuh,” the XXL Freshman’s friend told the 1017 head during his stream.

Word of the accusations clearly got back to Gucci – or at least to his wife. In their defence, Keyshia Ka’oir posted a photo of a receipt to her Instagram Story. In the image, it shows that $10,000 went to a Memphis funeral home, seemingly for Big Scarr’s celebration of life.

Additionally, the Jamaica-born starlet says she and her husband sent flowers to the mourning family. In response, they didn’t receive so much as a thank you, according to her recent Instagram Story.

Of course, those receipts weren’t enough for Big Scarr’s family to quiet down. His sister, Alexandra Woods, has been actively speaking out on social media. “Baby, my brother worth more than $10K,” she assured her followers in a video.

“Yeah, Gucci sent $10,000 and somebody else had another $10,000. So it was $20,000 in all. We ain’t get the flowers. I don’t give a f*ck what nobody say. Like I said, Gucci ain’t help with shit,” she went on.

In another video, she seemingly comes for Ka’oir’s appearance. “F*ck them receipts that Annabelle uploaded,” Woods tells viewers. “F*ck Annabelle.”

At the same time, she made it clear that Big Scarr’s family has no intentions of returning his 1017 chains. In the aforementioned IG Live from the late artist’s friend, he also says Gucci Mane allegedly inquired about getting the jewelry back.

Keyshia Ka’oir Posts Receipts After Big Scarr’s Family Says Gucci Mane Didn’t Pay For His Funeral

January 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The death of Big Scarr is just one of the many headlines that shocked the hip-hop community in the last weeks of 2022. On December 22, the XXL Freshman passed away after overdosing on prescription pills at his girlfriend’s house.

In the wake of the tragedy, Gucci Mane offered to pay for his late 1017 signee’s funeral. However, over the weekend, a close friend of Scarr’s alleged that his promise was untrue during an Instagram Live session. “You say to them you finna pay for the funeral, then you lie,” Quezz Ruthless publicly called out the 42-year-old.

“You didn’t have to lie! You ain’t have to go ghost either, cuh. It was gonna get paid for either way. You could’ve just said you ain’t have the money. You don’t get no type of respect for that, cuh,” he went on.

Later, Quezz added, “The minute that them folks called yo phone to see if you gon’ pay for the funeral, you blocked them. That’s not real, cuh. You ain’t straight, you only trying to act all real. You posted Scarr talking ’bout some long live — bruh, you ain’t do nothing, cuh. When they texted you and asked you about Scarr’s funeral, cuh, you told them folks that Keyshia’s birthday coming up. Man, y’all rich! Y’all can celebrate her birthday any day. Come on now, cuh.”

Additionally, Gucci allegedly wants Scarr’s 1017 chains back following his death. According to Ruthless, though, that won’t be happening.

“You not getting them chains, bruh,” he said during his Live. “You ain’t even text and check on the family, but you text about some chains. I can’t believe you, cuh! You betta not come trying to get these chains. We gon’ have a real problem.”

As HipHopDX notes, Big Scarr’s sister, Alexandra Woods eventually backed up these claims on her own social media page. “YES He asked for the chains back & NO he not getting them hos back!!” she said. “He said he couldn’t pay for the funeral because his wife birthday coming up n*gga you a millionaire Gucci a B I T C H!!! Gotta get in back in blood!!!!”

The allegations from those closest to the late artist tell one story, but Gucci’s own partner, Keyshia Kay’oir, has receipts that reveal another. After her man was publicly called out, she didn’t hesitate to share them with the world.

“PAYMENT DIRECTLY TO FUNERAL HOME! Leave my husband alone” she wrote over a snapshot of a physical receipt from N.J. Ford & Sons Funeral in Memphis, Tennessee. The amount spent is listed as $10,000, and she mentioned that flowers were also sent but no thank you came from Scarr’s family and friends.

Big Scarr’s Cause Of Death Revealed By Family Members

December 23, 2022 by newhiphopnews

A shocking number of rappers lost their lives in 2022. Just days before we welcome in a new year, another name is topping the list – 22-year-old Big Scarr. On Thursday (December 22), reports of the 1017 artist’s death began circulating online. Since then, law enforcement has given confirmation, and his family has opened up about the late man’s cause of death.

TMZ reportedly spoke with the late recording artist’s uncle, Arthur Woods, who was able to provide more information regarding his nephew’s death. Apparently, the Memphis native – born Alexander Woods – was at his girlfriend’s house yesterday when he overdosed on prescription pills.

It remains unclear where Scarr got the medication. However, his family says that the countless traumatic experiences he went through, such as being shot and surviving a serious car accident, were heavy for him.

While the pain was undeniably brutal, it only inspired Woods to grow and make a name for himself in the industry. His stage moniker came as a result of the vehicle crash, during which he went through the windshield. Afterward, he was left with a massive scar on his body.

During his shooting incident in 2020, the bullet that hit Scarr began travelling up his spine. Following that, he needed surgery to remove his appendix.

Aside from the physical issues, Uncle Arthur says his late nephew was struggling with depression throughout his short life. Particularly, the death of his grandmother was tough for him.

Rather than dwell on the sadness, Woods is choosing to remember Big Scarr as a “nice young man and a beautiful person who was very passionate about music.”

Previously law enforcement sources shared that Scarr’s body shows no signs of foul play. They’re moving forward with a further investigation of his death at this time. Check back in with HNHH later for any updates.

RIP.
