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.

She subsequently passed away shortly after. This is a huge blow to the music world, with many fans in disbelief over the news.

For those who may not know, Enchanting was an artist formerly signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 imprint. Overall, she had an incredible voice, and her 2022 project No Luv was a huge hit among fans.

Gucci Mane Artist Enchanting Reportedly Placed On Life Support

by

Enchanting made quite the impression on Gucci Mane. She impressed the iconic rapper so much that she was signed to his 1017 record label in 2020, when she was only 22 years old. She’d already put out multiple projects, but it was the co-sign that really kicked her career into high gear. Enchanting dropped her debut 1017 project, No Luv, in 2022, and never looked back. Shockingly, the rapper’s trajectory was sidelined on June 10. According to Enchanting’s sister, she was placed on life support.

The revelation came from the Facebook of the aforementioned sibling, Kayy Jayy. Enchanting’s situation was not given much in the way of context or cause, but the revelation led to widespread assumption that she had already died. Several outlets posted articles and messages claiming Enchanting had died at the age of 26. Kayy Jayy subsequently issued another statement refuting these claims on Facebook. “Can y’all stop posting you have actual facts,” she explained. “She’s still fighting, she’s not dead… I’m here at the hospital. My sister is not dead.”

Enchanting’s Health Status Was Confirmed By Her Sister

Enchanting’s last full project was released in 2022, but the rapper continued to be prolific with features and singles. She dropped verses on the 2023 songs “RATCHET MONDAY” by Lonny Cash and “Slide” by Destiny Briona, as well as the 2024 single “Because of You” by Campaign Reezo. Enchanting has gone out of her way to collaborate with other female artists, which she explained during a 2023 interview with Dallas Observer. “It’s looking hopeful for more and more women to just continue to blow up,” she noted. “I feel like it was a male-dominated sport, but now it’s becoming more feminine-dominated. I love that for the girls.”

Enchanting also discussed her passion for songwriting, and how making music also served as a source of comfort. “I feel like music was always something that was easy for me,” she asserted. “I felt like I was musically inclined, always. It was something that I thought should probably put more time and effort into, because it was natural, you know, instead of trying to force a talent.” Gucci Mane evidently thought so, as he not only signed Enchanting but appeared on her singles “Issa Photoshoot” and “Big Chant.” We will provide additional details on the rapper’s condition as they come to light.
