Gucci would go on to say "fuck brick squad" and accuse his former manager, Waka Flocka's mom Debra Antney of stealing money from OJ da Juiceman and French Montana. Frenchie also accused Gucci Mane of paying for Young Vito's lawyer, the accused murderer of former 1017 Brick Squad artist Slim Dunkin, which Gucci denied. Frenchie would release a diss record towards Gucci the following day.[28] During the following days it was revealed OJ da Juiceman, Young Dolph, Frenchie and Wooh da Kid were no longer or in some cases had never been officially signed to 1017 Brick Squad Records.[29][30] It was also revealed that 1017 Brick Squad had lost their distribution deal with Atlantic Records, and the label might be disbanded.[31][32] On September 9, 2013, Gucci also advertised on Twitter he was willing to sell what he considers his main artists: Waka Flocka Flame, Young Scooter, and Young Thug's recording contracts.[32] During his Twitter tirade he would diss many rappers and producers such as Nicki Minaj, Plies, Drake, Rocko, Polow da Don, 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, T.I., Yo Gotti, Frenchie, 808 Mafia, Waka Flocka and Tyga among others.[33] Then the following day he released a new single "Stealing" featuring OJ da Juiceman, and produced by Zaytoven.

Controversy

Young Jeezy

On May, 2005 Gucci Mane released his first single "Icy", which featured Young Jeezy, at the time an upcoming artist as well. Tensions grew when "Icy" was believed to be put on Young Jeezy's debut album Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101, although it never was. It was put on Gucci's debut album Trap House. Jeezy claimed he was never paid his royalties for the song.[59] On May 9, 2005, Jeezy released the controversial song "Stay Strapped," basically stating he would pay $10,000 to anybody who would rob Gucci Mane of his chain. Gucci responded by stating, "That n*gga Young Jeezy, man. That n*gga fake."[60][61] On May 19, 2005, tensions were soaring between Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy when four men broke into Gucci's Atlanta home and attempted to rob him. Gucci grabbed his pistol and shot one of the assailants. The assailant, who went by the stage name Pookie Loc, turned out to be a close friend to Jeezy. Pookie Loc was later found dead near a school in Decatur, GA. An official warrant was put out for Gucci's arrest. Days later he turned himself in to police after hearing about the warrant.[62] During a phone conversation, Gucci stated, "I just want to let everyone know I'm not a murderer. I was upset. I was scared a little bit, but I had to do what I had to do. You gotta be a man about it. I'm not a bad person. I have remorse for everything that happened." Young Jeezy responded to Gucci Mane and the allegations of hiring Pookie Loc to rob Gucci by saying Gucci was "trying to turn a bad situation into good publicity and sell his record."[63]

On January 17, 2006, Gucci Mane was acquitted of the murder charge, as he maintained he was acting out of self-defense.[64] On June 15, 2006, after tensions had cooled, Gucci Mane came at Young Jeezy on the song "745" rapping, "Do I smell pussy? Nah, that's Jeezy. You ain't a snowman, you more like a snowflake, cupcake, corn flake. N*gga, you too fake."[65]

On June 15, 2009, Young Jeezy came at Gucci Mane on the song "24, 23," rapping, "I'm on some Louie shit, fuck Gucci Mane. These niggas still on my dick, they like some groupies mane. Can't keep they lips closed, they worse than coochies mane."[66] On December 4, 2009, during a radio interview with DJ Drama and Jeezy, Gucci Mane called in to finally announce a truce between the two, saying, "I'd just like to say, it's way bigger than all of us. I feel like the way the city's been supporting all three of us, they deserve this. It's about that time, man. We're getting older, growing, so let's do it for the city."[67]

On March 24, 2010, members of Gucci Mane's crew 1017 Brick Squad and members of Young Jeezy's crew Corporate Thugz got into an altercation outside an Atlanta clothing store. Neither Gucci nor Jeezy was present during the altercation.[68] On December 2, 2011, Jeezy explained how the beef originated, stating that Gucci got mad at him because he wouldn't perform "Icy" with him; Jeezy said he couldn't perform the song because he was going through major throat surgery.[69]

On October 10, 2012, during a radio interview, Gucci Mane announced he had no more love for Jeezy due to his controversial fight with rapper Rick Ross. During a radio interview, Young Jeezy responded by stating, "Man everybody knows that boy is retarded. Ain’t nobody taking him seriously. He has an ice cream cone on his face, let’s be for real. Given that said, I’m not going back, I’m going forward."[70][71] On October 15, 2012, Gucci Mane came at Young Jeezy and other artists on the song "Truth" by rapping, "A ten thousand dollar bounty put on my neck. I hope you didn't pay them cause they didn't have no success."[72]

Keyshia Cole

On March 16, 2012, R&B singer Keyshia Cole came at Gucci Mane for the controversial song "Truth", on which Gucci rapped, "I did a song with Keyshia Cole and I know you still miss her. But Puff was f---ing her while you was falling in love with her." implying that, during the time of her rumored relationship with Young Jeezy, Cole was cheating on Jeezy with rap mogul and her "Last Night" collaborator Diddy. Cole stated on the radio, "Putting all ya trust in some of these 'Hood Rappers'... How you gonna be a G, and you spreading lies, to sell mix tapes! Where ya talent at. Dude ain't have to lie though! Could've kept me out of it."[73]

Waka Flocka Flame

On March 15, 2013, Gucci Mane announced that frequent collaborator and close friend Waka Flocka Flame was "dropped" from 1017 Brick Squad Records. The two rappers proceeded to throw insults back and forth on Twitter.[74] Though it was reported that Gucci's Twitter account was hacked, Waka stated, "Dont let da media fool u. This shit real Shawty."[75] On March 27, 2013, during an MTV Jams interview with Sway, Waka explained that he would never do music nor business with Gucci ever again. Neither of the rappers have explained where the controversy originated from. Waka has stated, "I guess we both be at the finish line we just going our own routes. That's all I can say. What's the reason? Sometimes it's none of your fuckin' business what's the reason. Just understand two men went they own ways but it's no problem."[76]

On November 19, 2013, it was revealed Gucci Mane had filed a lawsuit against Waka Flocka Flame, Waka's mother Debra Antney, OJ Da Juiceman, rapper Khia Stone and producer Zaytoven. The lawsuit accuses the parties, of fraud, racketeering, and breach of contract. According to Gucci Mane, Waka's mother Antney took control of his 1017 Brick Squad Records, LLC., without permission, and used it to create three separate offshoot labels. "Gucci is also accusing the parties in the lawsuit of withholding royalties and inflating the cost of label expenditures" and claimed that Antney seized his assets and stole a ring and a necklace."[77] In his lawsuit, Gucci Mane also says that Antney took more than the typical 20 percent management fee. Gucci Mane also alleges that Antney's actions led to his having money and tax problems.[78]

Yo Gotti

A beef between Gucci Mane and frequent callaborator Yo Gotti began on October 17, 2012, when Yo Gotti was releasing his mixtape CM7: The World is Yours on the same day as Gucci's mixtape Trap God. According to the latter he stated in an interview with Hot 107.9, "My main problem with him was that he dropped his mixtape on 10/17 [the name of Gucci Mane's record label is 1017 Brick Squad], and tried to like ride my wave, like he was an artist of mine or we get some kind of money together." Yo Gotti denied in an interview with K97 that he chose the date intentionally, but simply didn't realize the significance of the date.
