Gucci Cleans House From Prison
Even though he’s in the pokey in Georgia, Gucci Mane has been making some serious business decisions. He just fired his manager, the CEO of So Icey/ Mizay Entertainment Debrah Antney, who was also recently fired from her managerial position by Nicki Minaj.

Gucci has signed an exclusive management deal with First Avenue Management, Inc., and added booking agency CAA. Gucci also announced the official launch of his label 1017 Brick Squad Records, Inc.

I think it’s a good move on Gucci’s part, an insider has been telling me for years that there have been some shady business practices coming from his management.

Black Rob Says Bad Boy Didn’t Support Him in Prison
Only 2 hours after being released from a 7-year prison stint for Grand Larceny, Black Rob stopped by BET to talk about his experience. He said that while he was in general population in the prison, some folks, including prisoners and guards disrespected him simple because he is Black Rob. He also said that Diddy and Bad Boy didn’t support him while he was in the Pokey!

All I can say is Ricky Ross and Nicky Minaj should take note!
