Gucci Mane To Release “Pissy” Featuring Roddy Ricch And Nardo Wick

by

Gucci Mane is set to release a new single with a very familiar tone to his old self. On Tuesday, Gucci Mane announced the upcoming single “Pissy” featuring Roddy Richh and Nardo Wick. He released a teaser visual on Instagram raving fans up with what seems to be a sample of one of his most popular hit songs “Lemonade.”The visual features a clip from the 2009 yellow-filled video. The video then transitions into a modern version of the video with appearances from Roddy Ricch and Nardo Wick. Additionally, yellow-themed songs blended seamlessly as the colors play off of the titles of each song. This clip left fans dropping lemon emojis in the comments expressing their excitement for the possible sample.

This release has not been the first time Gucci has teased a return of his older music making a possible comeback. In March, Gucci Mane teased the return of his older self in a teaser for his latest single”06 Gucci” featuring 21 Savage and Dababy. The post included Gucci recreating an old look sporting an Atlanta Braves Jersey. The 17-year difference was refreshing to see the growth of the Atlanta rapper. Coincidentally, Friday’s release follows the same rollout plan. This serves as a reminder of the longevity of Gucci’s career. He has been taking the CEO approach within the past two years as his artists have released most of the label’s music.

Gucci Teases New Single “Pissy”

Gucci Mane has continued his traditional collaborations with Hip Hop’s fresh faces. Recently he has also looked to extend his 1017 label roster. Last month, Gucci released the 1017 Up Next EP. This Ep includes three songs called “Dropboy Freestyle,” “Ceo Flow Freestyle,” and “Droptopwop Freestyle.” Each song includes an open verse inviting anyone who is looking to single to record over. This is one way he has sorted out his social media search for his next artist to add to the label roster. This announcement was predicted by fans after the sudden death of the label’s artist Big Scarr last year.

Furthermore, Gucci continues to balance his life as a CEO, Recording artist, and father. In February he and his wife Keyshia Ka’oir welcomed their second child together, a baby girl named Iceland. His latest single is due to release at midnight.

DJ Drama Regrets Not Keeping Nicki Minaj On Gucci Mane’s 2008 Gangsta Grillz Mixtape

by

After doing some reflecting, DJ Drama admits to a few regrets. His impact on Hip Hop doesn’t need defending as Drama is one of the most celebrated DJs and producers in the game. His Gangsta Grillz series has lasted for decades, and from one generation to the next, artists are clamoring for an opportunity to add their names to his list of collaborators. While chatting with Bootleg Kev on his podcast, Drama revisited a moment in 2008 when he was working with Gucci Mane on their Gangsta Grillz project, The Movie. The mixtape was supposed to feature a look from Nicki Minaj, but Drama switched things up.

At the time, Minaj was only a few years into her professional career. She was still establishing her relationships, proving her skills, and competing for attention in a Hip Hop boys’ club. She didn’t have much national or global visibility, so DJ Drama decided it was best to take her off the project, all together. In hindsight, he wishes he didn’t make that move. “When he brought it to me, the first song on the tape, the first voice you heard on the tape was Nicki Minaj,” Drama said.

DJ Drama Made Things Right

Drama didn’t want fans to hear the voice of a lesser-known artist from the onset. “Obviously, this is an early Nicki Minaj. And disrespectfully, I felt like we can’t have a Gangsta Grillz with me and Gucci, and the first voice you heard not be Gucci, so I removed her verse from that song. I feel terrible to this day.” However, he did make things right, in his own way, by including Minaj in Lil Wayne’s Dedication 3 project that same year. Minaj made sure her voice was heard.

“‘Dram, please don’t let the tape come out without me on there,’” Drama recalled Nicki telling him. “And I said, ‘I got you.’ So Nicki Minaj is on Dedication 3 directly because I made sure she was on there.” The Queens icon has long discussed the roadblocks she experienced early on in her career—and throughout. Minaj has been open about struggling to earn respect while her male peers have navigated an easier route.

Deb Antney Claims Gucci Didn’t Like Nicki

Meanwhile, music executive Deb Antney previously shed light on the relationship between Gucci Mane and Nicki Minaj. Antney used to manage both artists, but according to her, Gucci “couldn’t stand” Minaj because she refused his sexual advances. It’s unclear if this also contributed to the exclusion on his mixtape years ago, but it certainly has fans talking.

Gucci Mane Is Going Back To His Old Ways: “06 Gucci Back”

by

At one point in time, fans believed that Gucci Mane was a clone. Following his release from prison, he appeared in better shape than anyone’s ever seen. He lost the lean gut, went sober, and became completely chiseled. However, the transformation led many to believe that he might not be the real Gucci Mane. The conspiracy theories floated around the ‘gram while Wop egged them on for entertainment purposes. However, fans were overall happy to see Gucci Mane’s evolution, especially after his erratic behavior ahead of his incarceration.

Wop is a new man these days – a devout husband and father to his two children. However, every so often, the menacing aspect of his character pops out. As we’ve seen during his Verzuz against Jeezy, he didn’t fail to mention the death of Pookie Loc, who Gucci claimed to have murdered out of self-defense. Even though he’s admitted to regretting that part of the show, it seems as though he continues to wear that badge with pride.

‘06 Gucci Mane Is Back

Over the past two years, Gucci Mane hasn’t necessarily been as active in releasing music. Instead, he’s put his efforts into building the 1017 roster. He brought up artists like Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano, who’ve unfortunately been incarcerated, but not before they had the South on smash with their viral singles. Wop’s albums have also served to highlight the 1017 roster with So Icy Gang. Vol 1, and So Icy Christmas. 

However, Gucci Mane hit Instagram on Wednesday morning where he previewed a new single that finds him recreating some of his most iconic looks. “Friday 06 Gucci back,” he captioned the post with brief snippets of the song. “I feel like it’s me in ‘07, ‘08, and even ‘09,” he raps in one snippet. On the other, he subtly mentions Pookie Loc, rapping, “Still hard to kill/ The last n***a tried/ Go ask him, he didn’t survive.” He didn’t mention a title for the single but it appears that Gucci Mane might have a new project in the works for this summer. Check the snippet above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments. 

Gucci Mane & Keyshia Ka’oir Share Photo of Newborn Girl Iceland

by

On Feb. 8, Keyshia Ka’oir and Gucci Mane welcomed a new addition to the family, a beautiful baby girl named Iceland. Ka’oir initially announced the news of their second arrival on social media in an emotional reveal to Gucci himself. Now, the three-week-old has been catapulted into the spotlight as the couple share moments from their newborn‘s first photoshoot. Iceland’s post is climbing to over half a million likes as she receives compliments from Trina, Lala Anthony, and more.

In Ka’oir’s photos, we see baby Iceland dozing away as she poses with flower crowns and dust pink furniture. “I got the prettiest girl in the world Dada love you so much the So Icy Princess,” Gucci writes in a similar post. The birth of their daughter has been a moment of great celebration for the couple, who shared the first photos of her the day following her birth. “Our little princess is here!” Mrs. Davis announced on February 9th. “Beautiful and healthy! ICELAND KA’OIR DAVIS [pink heart emoji] 2/8/23.” The 1017 head honcho and Keyshia Ka’oir also share a son, two-year-old Ice.

Keyshia Ka’oir and Gucci Mane Give Us a Glimpse of Iceland David

Keyshia Ka’oir and Gucci Mane first met in 2010 when she appeared in one of his music videos. GuWop was dealing with legal issues at the time and was eventually sentenced to prison in 2014. The beauty entrepreneur stood by his side through it all, and they continued to build their relationship despite the distance. After Gucci Mane was released from prison in 2016, the couple took their relationship to the next level. The proposal was a grand affair, with Gucci Mane getting down on one knee during an Atlanta Hawks basketball game.

Ka’oir’s notable loyalty drew responses from questionable fans after Gucci’s public love letter to her in 2019. “Everyone wants this, but what ya’ll forget was she was with wild Gucci, cheating Gucci, publicity with other women Gucci,” he wrote. “This is Gucci after therapy/ rehabilitation. This is a street man groomed in his 30’s after he’s been at his lowest point. Point is, this is a rider who knew what she signed up for!” The two went on to conceive Ice David, giving birth to him in December 2020. Literally, one year later, Keyshia reflected back on her pregnancy in a throwback photo and pleaded with Gucci for another. “Ayeahhhhh @laflare1017 I need me anotha one!!!,” Ka’oir wrote on Instagram. “#ImissBeingPreggo #IWas9monthsHere #BabyIce.”

BMF’s Bleu DaVinci Explains Big Meech’s Role In Gucci Mane & Jeezy’s Deadly Beef

by

Gucci Mane and Jeezy’s falling out over “So Icy” created huge friction within Atlanta. Wop remained one of the most prolific artists out of the A, while Jeezy experienced incredible commercial success afterward. At a time when these two figures transformed hip-hop and asserted Atlanta as a capital for rap music, the falling out between them created tension that led to the death of Pookie Loc – a man whose name has been mentioned on numerous occasions in Gucci Mane’s diss tracks towards Jeezy.

Fortunately, the two buried the hatchet recently. In the middle of the pandemic, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland managed to bring Jeezy and Gucci Mane together in Magic City for an epic Verzuz performance that has hardly been outdone. The two set record-breaking numbers, celebrated their catalogs and finally made peace with one another. By the time the event ended, they capped off the evening with a performance of “So Icy” for the first time in their life.

Bleu Davinci Claims Big Meech Started Feud Between Gucci Mane & Jeezy

Bleu Devinci detailed Big Meech’s role in Wop and Snowman’s beef during his interview with The Cam Capone Show. Davinci said he was meant to join the other two rappers on the song as BMF planned to purchase “So Icy” from Gucci Mane. “It was going to me my song. We was going to drop with that record,” he explained. “But [Gucci Mane] wanted $100,000. Meech wasn’t buying it.”’ during his interview with The Cam Capone Show.

We was going to drop with that record,” he explained. “But [Gucci Mane] wanted $100,000. Meech wasn’t buying it.”

While Meech and his team are known for blowing that much money in a strip club on any given night, he was not willing to shell six figures for the record. “Meech was like, ‘Fuck that record… We ain’t givin’ that n***a no $100,000 for that bitch ass song, ’” Davinci recalled Meech telling him. “It came down to some shit like that, it wasn’t even Jeezy. It was really Meech that denied it.” He said that he believes Gucci Mane probably felt a way about their counter-offer, which led to further friction between the two camps.  Davinci said that Meech probably would’ve reacted similarly if the prices was lowered to $15K-$20K.
