Gucci Mane probably has one of the most interesting backstories a rapper can have. Though he’s maintained success as a rapper throughout the years, it’s only been recently that he’s been able to do so without getting himself into trouble. The legend of GuWop lives on, even if he’s a changed man these days.

The rapper hit the ‘Gram earlier today to celebrate four years since his release from prison. It wasn’t like any other release, though. The rapper returned with the rap game waiting for him to settle back into his throne. Taking to the ‘Gram, he shared some throwback footage after he was released from prison along with a message to everyone on Memorial Day weekend, including those who ratted on him.

“I drop Traphouse May 24 2005 15 yrs ago started my career and I got out 4 years ago 2016 thanks all who stayed down fuck all y’all who snitched on me and switched sides! #happymemorialweekend,” he wrote.

In related news, the rapper’s currently revving up to release a new project, it would appear. Over the past few weeks, he’s been showing face publicly, despite social distancing measures being put in place. Gucci shared the cover art for the project which appears to be titled, Bouldercrest Shawty. Though no release date has been set, what’s a summer without a Gucci Mane anthem?

After DaBaby was arrested twice in two weeks, it seemed there must be some sort of plot against him. His relentless upward trajectory throughout 2019 was suddenly being halted and everyone just wanted to see him keep winning. His first arrest was in his hometown of Charlotte, when police officers approached him after a sold-out show because they spotted weed in his car. He ended up being let go after a few hours, but he had to serve a bit of time in jail after his second arrest, which occurred in Miami on Thursday. A physical altercation with a party promoter led to DaBaby being detained until last night. 

Although DaBaby is due back in court on Tuesday to sort out this battery charge, he is showing fans that his hustle will remain undeterred. Today, he went on IG Live and previewed a new song, as he loves to do. While holding up multiple stacks of bills to his ears, he raps along to a ferocious Wheezy-produced track. DaBaby boasts about his Grammy nominations and his new crib. Most boldly, given his current situation, he raps about staying strapped and making his opponents hit the ground. Right now would be a perfect time for DaBaby to drop the track and make a grand statement about how nothing is stopping his success.
