Both Gucci Mane and one of his newest artists, Mac Critter, had an incredibly busy year in 2022. Gucci spent most of his time putting on for his label, 1017 Records. He dropped three collaborative projects featuring many members of his crew and other friends in the industry. The last of which is the 80-song So Icy Boyz: The Finale.
Critter has a few appearances on the monstrous project. Additionally, he dropped nine full-length tapes of his own. In October, the world was witness to him officially signing to the “I Get the Bag” rapper’s label.
However, the 25-year-old is now in some serious legal trouble. A report from FOX13 indicates that authorities are charging the rapper with first-degree murder. “MEMPHIS RAPPER CHARGED WITH MURDER: Daniel Bates who goes by the stage name Mac Critter hit with FIRST DEGREE MURDER. Mr. Critter back in October became an artist signed to Gucci Mane’s record label. Critter apparently turned himself in yesterday,” writes Jeremy Pierre, a FOX13 Memphis reporter, in a tweet.
Authorities are also charging three other men with the murder that allegedly took place in December. Gary Taylor and Danterio Owens are additionally being charged with first-degree murder in the case. The alleged fourth suspect is still at large.
All four men are allegedly responsible for fatally shooting the victim, Markeith Taylor, with handguns. A witness alleges that they didn’t stop shooting, even after the victim fell to the ground. Furthermore, the witness says they saw two of the men stand over the victim’s dead body with a gun.
It’s alleged, in the affidavit, that he was there but he is not the shooter. When Gary Taylor got bond, he was the alleged shooter. I was optimistic that we were going to get bond today but we didn’t,” says Critter’s attorney, Arthur Horne, in a statement. The “1 of 1” rapper reportedly turned himself in on Monday (January 2).

“Ion wanna talk. Sorry if I don’t answer. I just can’t,” Scarr’s labelmate, Enchanting, posted on an Instagram story.
Other rappers, including Big30, are adding to the list of those mourning Big Scarr.
“When I dropped my first video. Actually, when I first did my first song is when I seen I could be able to do this,” Big Scarr, who was named an XXL Freshman in their 2022 class, told the publication earlier this year. “It was never a thing I wanted to do. I just tried the sh*t one time and it went. Just like my partner was saying, you ever had some sh*t going and you never paid attention to the other sh*t you were doing because this shit was bringing you in so much good sh*t?”
“It’s a thing like that,” he continued. “If you ask me, it’s been my time, but I ain’t rushing. I ain’t forcing nothing. I’m in my own lane. I feel like whatever comes my way is a blessing.”
Some of the artists mentioned are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music group.
Management mogul Deb Antney appeared on a recent episode of the Ugly Money Podcast and doubled down on her admittance to neglecting OJ Da Juiceman, however, Ms. Antney did make a claim about OJ that seemed to slight another former artist, Gucci Mane.
When comparing OJ to Mr. LaFlare in reference to their street credibility, Antney said matter-of-factly, “He was really the street one. It wasn’t Gucci, it was him. He was the street guy. That’s who the real street guy was, Juice. But he wanted to change his life. He really wanted to change his life.”

Deb Antney is speaking out against one of her former clients. In a recent press run, the music manager responds to some past claims from OJ Da Juiceman.
Last year, the “Make the Trap Say Aye” rapper made some bold accusations against his former manager.
While appearing on the Big Facts podcast in March last year, he claimed to have signed a bad deal with Antney and her record label, Mizay Entertainment. He alleges to never seeing any money from his 2009 album, The Otha Side of the Trap.
Antney’s son is none other than Waka Flocka Flame, who later came to his mother’s defence. The two went back and forth via their Instagram stories. “Bruh, you lame as f*ck, talkin’ ’bout n****s stole from you. P*ssy ass n***a. You know who stole from you, you lame ass n***a. Stop puttin’ that sh*t on my mama,” the “No Hands” rapper clapped back in response.
In an interview with the Ugly Money Podcast earlier this week, the music manager denies these claims from OJ. When asked about it, she opens up about the situation. “Every interview I ever did, I tell people I neglected him. And I’ll sit here and say that right now, to this day, still, I neglected him because he didn’t give me no fever. Juice was good. He was quiet, no matter what he did,” she exclaimed.
Furthermore, she took some time to set the record straight about OJ and his frequent collaborator, Gucci Mane. “He was really the street one. It wasn’t Gucci, it was him. He was the street guy. That’s who the real street guy was, Juice. But he wanted to change his life. He really wanted to change his life,” she claims.
At the end of the clip, however, she sounds confused as to why the Atlanta rapper would’ve made these accusations. “All the stuff that we did together that you wanted to do, why would you lie on me and say that I did that to you? Why? You know I didn’t do that to you,” she says afterwards.
Antney has also managed Gucci Mane and Nicki Minaj in the past. She was also a cast member in seasons three-six of Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta.

Gucci Mane has one of the most legendary careers in hip-hop. Whether or not you like his music, he’s had a heavy role in shaping the current landscape of hip-hop. Though artists like Waka Flocka, Young Thug, and Migos came up under his wing, perhaps, one of his most notable protegés is Nicki Minaj. However, Wop wasn’t the biggest fan of the Young Money rapper, according to Deb Antney.
Antney, Waka Flocka’s mom and founder of Mizay Entertainment, sat down with Math Hoffa and co. on My Expert Opinion. At one point in the interview, she said that Gucci Mane didn’t actually like Nicki Minaj, mainly because she refused to sleep with him.
“You know what hurt me? Gucci couldn’t stand her,” she said. “He didn’t like Nicki. Because he couldn’t fuck her. He didn’t like her! But for you to give these big-ups to the shit that he did? That shit was crazy! He ain’t do nothing for you! He didn’t even like her!”
Though the two worked together on a few occasions, Antney said it was a task to get Gucci on a song with Nicki MInaj.
“He had a fit when I had her getting on a record,” she said. “But I wanted all of them to work together because we’re a family, so we all have to be together. It can’t be any of this.”
Ultimately, Antney questioned Gucci’s abilities as a record executive, as well as his business acumen. She accused Wop of being “selfish,” especially when it comes to signing artists.
“He’s very selfish,” Antney said. “He’s very much to himself. I don’t even understand how he gets to sign artists. I never let artists sign to other artists because they not gonna let them become bigger than them.”
Antney’s recollection of Gucci Mane and Nicki Minaj’s relationship corroborates the latter’s claim following Wop’s infamous tweet storm. During the Twitter rant, Gucci alleged that he and Waka Flocka had sex with Nicki Minaj. “Me and waka fuck nikki minaj dats nothing,” he wrote. “Her intervention my dick in her throat I moved dat bitch to atl. Bitch u was sleepin n d car. Bitch. I pulled dat bitch off wayne bus.”
Nicki quickly denied that there was any truth behind Gucci’s claim, calling him a crack head and Bubba Gump. Gucci later admitted to being wrong in the situation and blamed his addiction to lean on the outburst.
