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.

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.
