(AllHipHop News) Gucci Mane’s tirade on Twitter may have been sparked by the Atlanta rapper reportedly getting dropped by Atlantic Records. The Fader is reporting that an anonymous former label rep confirmed that Gucci and Atlantic have parted ways.
“He’s not with Atlantic anymore,” said the source. Gucci is not listed on Atlantic Records’ official website while Brick Squad member Waka Flocka is still presented as an Atlantic artist on the site.
Fader is also reporting that Gucci and manager Coach K are no longer working together either. Rumors have been circulating for a while that the relationship between Gucci and Coach K was not on the best of terms.
