Gucci Mane arrested for drugs and gun possession
It’s been a busy week for troubled rapper Gucci Mane, with him first embarking on a wild Twitter tirade before releasing a whole album for free a day later.
Now, things have seemingly gotten worse for the controversial Atlanta performer, allegedly arrested over the weekend for carrying a concealed weapon and being in possession of drugs.
TMZ report: “one of friends complained to cops about his erratic behavior. The friend waved down police to help out … but when they approached Gucci he began cursing and threatening them. We’re told he was immediately taken into custody and police found a small amount of marijuana on the 33-year old rapper, as well as a handgun.”
Mane is said to be currently under surveillance in hospital, taken as a precaution.
