Gucci Mane – Biography, Age, Career, Net Worth

Who is Gucci Mane?

Radric Delantic Davis, better known by his stage name Gucci Mane, is an American hip hop artist who has paved the way for ‘trap music’, a subgenre of hip hop. He is also known as Radric Delantic Davis and his stage name is Gucci Mane. During his childhood, he started writing verses and experimenting with rap music at the age of 14. His own album titled ‘Trap House’ featured the song ‘Icy’, with the vocals of Young Jeezy, his colleague and rapper. Even though the song was well-received by music fans and enthusiasts, the promising rappers’ collaboration fell apart due to a messy dispute over the single’s copyrights.

Soon after, Gucci was arrested for murder after a colleague used a firearm against a group of alleged thugs who were attempting to take over Gucci’s brand ‘So Icy’. While Gucci was still incarcerated, he was once again accused of battering the nightclub promoter. He served a six-month sentence for mugging after the murder case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence. He released his second album ‘Hard to Kill’ shortly after, which was followed by the release of numerous indie albums and studio recordings in the following years. Gucci has produced and shared numerous mixtapes, as well as starred in a few movies in his professional career so far.
