Gucci Mane

Radric Davis, whos stage name is Gucci Mane, was born on February 2, 1980 in Birmingham, Alabama.  He chose his stage name after his father who is called "Gucci Man" because he was a hustler. 

He worked with Big Cat Records.  He met Big Cat while doing jail time together. 

On May 10, 2005, men tried to attack Gucci and steal his trademark "So Icey" chain. The men trying to steal Gucci’s chain were shot at by Gucci’s group of self-defense. A few days before the incident, people found out that there was an arrest warrant for him. He ended up turning himself into the police on May 19, 2005. Sometime around December 30, 2005, police announced that there was not enough evidence to for a case against Gucci's murder charge.

Shortly after, he was arrested for possession of marijuana and having an unlicensed gun.  He was caught the same day that his debut album “Trap House” was supposed to be released.

On July 23, 2008, he was pulled over by officers just outside of the Atlanta during a traffic stop. The police found marijuana in his car and he had drug charges.

On September 14, 2008, Gucci did a year in jail because he violated his probation and didn't have enough community service to make him not go to jail.
