Gucci Mane’s signee Foogiano has been dealing with his own share of legal drama in recent times. In late 2020, it was reported the rapper was on the run after allegedly melting off his ankle monitor. A warrant was issued for his arrest and in early March, he turned himself into the authorities. The rapper was charged with being a fugitive from justice without a warrant.
