Troubled rapper Gucci Mane is suing his protégé Waka Flocka Flame and his mother over allegations of fraud and career sabotage.
In legal documents obtained by TMZ, Gucci claims Waka and his mother, Debra Antney, released his music and collected royalties without his knowledge. In addition, he alleges that Antney has been taking more that her contracted 20 percent management fee, resulting in loss of revenue and damage to his reputation.
Gucci is seeking damages on charges of fraud, racketeering and conspiracy. He also asked a judge to freeze the assets of both Waka and his mom, and request the return of a ring and necklace his ex-manager allegedly took from him.
In the early stages of Waka’s Career, he and Gucci were inseparable. Gucci signed him to his 1017 Brick Squad Records label in 2009, but the two stars fell out earlier this year after Mane parted ways with Antney.
Waka insist he doesn't know where the beef came from and claims he's not a disloyal person. "Honest to God truth, I don’t know cause I’m the loyalist person you could ever see. I took on a man’s beef, risked my life, hung out the window, risked my freedom. I never backed in a corner. To my knowledge it can’t be nothing but jealousy or something because there is nothing I did disloyal,” Flocka previously stated. "Plus I own a percentage of Brick Squad 1017 and I own 100% of Brick Squad Monopoly, so you can’t kick the boss out, it's impossible."
Gucci is currently serving a six-month sentence behind bars for a probation violation related to an arrest in Atlanta, Georgia in September (13).
You may know Gucci Mane as a rapper, but he’s also been in the headlines for his legal battles. Recently, he filed a lawsuit against fellow rapper Waka Flocka and his mother, alleging fraud and breach of contract.
The lawsuit claims that they stole money from Gucci Mane’s record label and failed to properly manage it. This legal battle could have a big impact on Gucci Mane’s music career.
If he wins the case, he could potentially receive compensation for the damages caused by Waka Flocka and his mother. However, if he loses, it could damage his reputation and make it harder for him to work with other artists in the future.
Either way, this is definitely a story worth following for anyone interested in the rap industry or celebrity drama.
Allegations of Fraud and Breach of Contract
You gotta admit, it’s pretty juicy – Gucci Mane is accusing Waka Flocka and his mom of fraud and breach of contract.
According to the lawsuit filed by Gucci Mane, he had invested a significant amount of money in Waka Flocka’s music career. However, he claims that he never received any profits from the deal.
The lawsuit alleges that Waka Flocka’s mother, Debra Antney, who was managing the rapper at the time, had deceived Gucci into signing an unfair contract. The document allegedly gave Antney and her company a larger share of profits than what was agreed upon. Moreover, she reportedly failed to provide accurate accounting records for the music sales.
Gucci Mane is seeking damages for fraud and breach of contract in excess of $1 million. The lawsuit also demands an accounting of all sales made under their agreement.
If these allegations prove true, it could seriously damage the relationship between these two rappers who were once close friends and collaborators. Only time will tell how this legal battle plays out in court.
Impact on Gucci Mane’s Music Career
With this legal drama hanging over his head, it’s unclear how Gucci’s fans will react to any new music he releases in the near future. The controversy surrounding his lawsuit against Waka Flocka and his mother has put a significant dent on his reputation and credibility as an artist.
Fans may hesitate to support him or buy his albums until the issue is resolved. Moreover, the lawsuit could potentially affect Gucci Mane’s collaborations with other artists. Many musicians are wary of associating themselves with individuals who have pending legal cases, as it can negatively impact their image and career.

He has built a loyal fan base over the years who appreciate him for both his music and personal struggles. Only time will tell how this latest controversy will affect his career in the long run.
