Gucci Watch: Atlanta Rapper Remains Jailed

It’s Gucci time— well not quite yet. With the hip-hop world anticipating the release of Georgia rapper Gucci Mane from prison there have been numerous rumors and false reports. First over the weekend various Internet media outlets were reporting that the “So Icey” rapper was released from Fulton County Jail where he spent the last three months serving for a probation violation, but RapFix learned that was not the case.

Gucci was expected to be released yesterday, according to his lawyer Ashutosh Joshi, but it seems that “procedural holdups” prevented that from happening. MTV News also learned that there is currently a hold on Gucci’s release and a possibility that once he is freed from Fulton County Jail that he would be sent up to a state prison. The rapper’s lawyer however says that once this issue is resolved Gucc will be free man.
