    The ‘Trap House’ rapper is pitted against his rival, the ‘TM104: The Legend of the Snowman’ rhymer, in the next installment of Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s online series.

    Nov 16, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Longtime rap rivals Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy are to face off in the next online Verzuz battle.
    The hip-hop stars have been feuding for 15 years after Gucci Mane was linked to the death of one of Jeezy’s associates, Pookie Loc, in 2005, and now they’re taking their beef to Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s popular series, during which musicians and rappers compete to win a livestream battle by performing snippets from their back catalogues.
    Gucci replaces T.I., who was originally set to challenge Jeezy.
    Speaking to “The Breakfast Club” last week, Jeezy revealed he reached out to Gucci Mane and asked him to join him on Verzuz, but his rival “respectfully declined.”

    Gucci Mane was acquitted of the murder of Pookie Loc in early 2006 on the basis of self-defence.
    Swizz Beatz and Timbaland launched Verzuz at the beginning of the coronavirus lockdown in the spring (20). During the show, competitors take it in turns playing a song from a list of 20 hits from their back catalogue, as fans, friends and fellow artists watch on. A winner is later decided by Timbaland and Swizz Beatz.
    Highlights have included Alicia Keys vs. John Legend, Brandy vs. Monica, DMX vs. Snoop Dogg, and Patti LaBelle vs. Gladys Knight. Gucci Mane and Jeezy will launch the new season of VERZUZ on Friday (19Nov20) at 8pm ET here: https://twitter.com/verzuzonline.
    “Tell buddy Get ready Thursday Nov 19 @verzuztv Trap God vs Snowcone,” Gucci Mane wrote on Instagram.
    Meanwhile, Jeezy posted this on his own page, “SAY lil guwop SEE YOU ON THE 19th. DON’T SEND YA CLONE! BIG SNO.”

      Gucci Mane Accuses Atlantic Records of 'Polite' Racism as He Leaves the Label

      by

      The ‘Trap House’ rapper announces his departure from Atlantic Records and calls the label bosses a group of ‘polite’ racists in a scathing post on social media.
      Jun 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Gucci Mane has accused his Atlantic Records chiefs of “polite” racism and announced he is leaving the label.
      The star sent out the tweet claiming he is off Atlantic’s roster as of next month, July 2020 on Thursday, June 11, 2020 before deleting it – but continued retweeting fans and journalists who quoted the original post.
      His original tweet read, “Leaving #AtlanticRecords July 3rd these crackers polite racist #SoIcySummer,” and also featured a black-coloured heart emoji, a pair of black praying hands and an emoji of a blue face frosted over with icicles.
      In another strange tweet, which remained on his profile, he seemingly made a similar accusation about his namesake luxury brand Gucci, calling them the “the most polite racist ever” and adding, “I pray y’all die of corona virus (sic).”
      The rapper, real name Radric Delantic Davis, also deleted another tweet, calling for artists to go on strike to protest “racist” record labels as part of the Black Lives Matter movement.
      In the tweet, he added, “All artists let’s go on strike f*ck these racist a*s labels burn them down too #BlackLivesMatter #BlackExecMatter f**k these crackers????”
      The “I Get the Bag” hitmaker has had a long but fraught relationship with Atlantic, as in 2013, he used Twitter to slam label representatives and his manager and was dropped from their roster. He subsequently apologised for the tweets, claiming to have been on codeine at the time and rejoined Atlantic again in 2016.
      Last year 2019, Atlantic Records’ U.K. president Ben Cook stepped down after it was rumoured he attended a party in blackface while dressed as a member of Run DMC.
      Gucci’s representatives at Atlantic did not respond to a request for comment.
