Incarcerated rapper
Radric "Gucci Mane" Davis reportedly suffered multiple injuries in
a jailhouse attack the same day his record label, Big Cat Records was raided
by an Atlanta, Georgia SWAT team.
Yesterday (Sept.
20), Davis was allegedly attacked in a Fulton County jail by a convicted murderer
who reportedly had an issue with the Atlanta based rapper.
Davis sustained
multiple injuries in the attack including having his teeth knocked out and several
lacerations to the face.
The man that attacked
Davis is currently sitting in solitary confinement.
Davis’s lawyer,
Dennis Scheib, is trying to transfer the rapper to a safer prison while he awaits
the start of his October 4th trial for aggravated assault.
Meanwhile in an effort to
keep a watchful eye on the activities and business dealings of his label Big
Cat Records, police raided the company’s Atlanta offices Tuesday afternoon
(September 20) after receiving reports of a person armed with a gun was inside
the building.
Atlanta SWAT team members
descended on the Big Cat offices around 2:20 pm after receiving the anonymous
tip.
Once on the scene, police
and SWAT members began an immediate search of the premises.
After combing the building
from top to bottom, police reported that they did not find anyone armed with
a gun and there was no type of standoff situation.
This is the latest
round of controversy that continues to swirl around Big Cat Records and Davis,
their flagship artist.
Last month, Atlanta
police executed a search warrant at the recording studio where Davis allegedly
assaulted a promoter with a pool cue.
The rapper, known for his
hit “So Icy” with friend-turned-foe Young Jeezy, was also arrested
for allegedly assaulting a promoter while on his way to perform at Miami’s
Club Warehouse nearly two months ago.
Davis has also
been accused of the May shooting death of Henry Clark, who has been connected
to Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy.
Clark’s
body was found in the woods behind an elementary school outside of Atlanta with
gunshot wounds.
An investigation
revealed that Clark had been shot after barging into an apartment with several
other men in an attempt to assault Davis at the height of his feud with Young
Jeezy, which allegedly stemmed from ownership rights to the song "So Icy."
Davis grabbed a
pistol nearby and maintains that he fired the weapon after the men threatened
his life verbally and physically. He maintains his innocence in that case and
claims that he only acted in self-defense.
Davis was denied
bond while awaiting trial to answer to the Atlanta aggravated assault charge
and is currently sitting in isolation for his own protection at the Fulton County
Jail.
