Rising Atlanta, Georgia
rapper Gucci Mane is expected to surrender to Atlanta authorities today to answer
an alleged murder charge.
Sources told AllHipHop.com that, Gucci Mane (real name Radric
Davis) was involved in an altercation with five attackers last Tuesday in Decatur,
Georgia.
The rapper is riding the waves of his hit single "So Icy"
and, at the time, was making press rounds promoting his album Trap House,
which is slated to hit stores next Tuesday (May 24).
Reports stated that the incident may have occurred on Tuesday
May 10. But, about a day after taping BET’s Rap City, he was forced to turn
himself in to Georgia authorities.
While details are sketchy, sources stated that the rapper may
have been in the area to visit a female acquaintance when he was accosted by
the five men.
On Friday May 13, officials reportedly discovered a corpse near
Columbia High School in Decatur, Georgia.
After an investigation, an arrest warrant was issued for Davis.
"Big Cat Records informed Davis who responded with full
cooperation and immediately returned to Atlanta, postponing further promotional
engagements," a Big Cat Records representative said in a statement released
to AllHipHop.com.
The rapper was recently involved in a war of words with Atlanta
rapper, Young Jeezy, after the two collaborated on various songs.
The two released a series of diss records and while the two
were verbally feuding, sources stated Jeezy appeared on local Atlanta radio
denying any connection to the incident.
