Gucci Mane may be facing a possible 20-year prison sentence, but that hasn't stopped him from going forward with a high-profile civil suit pending against Waka Flocka Flame, Waka's mother and Gucci's former manager Deb Antney, OJ Da Juiceman and Zaytoven.
Gucci is suing for royalties, payments and ownership of his label, 1017 Brick Squad.
According to his lawyer, Gucci's lawsuit has two main contentions. The first contention being that neither Deb Antney nor Waka Flocka Flame have ever been authorized by Gucci Mane as part- or co-owners of 1017. Gucci claims that the mother and son duo therefore had no legal right to be handling money and transactions on behalf of Gucci.
He also claims that certain songs, particularly OJ Da Juiceman's "Make The Trap Say Aye," were his songs, and were essentially stolen from him while he was serving time in prison.
Gucci Man contended that Antney collected or disbursed funds that were never approved by him. He now wants to be reimbursed. Seems understandable, right?
In an interview with XXL Magazine, Gucci's lawyer had this to say:
"It's unfortunately not uncommon for an artist to be screwed out of funds. It happens on a routine basis in the music industry, and I just think it's important when there are questions about these things that people are held accountable and they have to show where the funds have gone. When people aren't able to produce that information accurately or the numbers don't match, people have to be held accountable."
Let's hope this case doesn't get too messy.
