Angel Amor Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Rapper Gucci Mane Facing Murder Charge May 21, 2:09 PM EST Just days before the expected release of Gucci Mane's debut album, the rapper is in jail, facing a murder charge. Mane, whose real name is Radric Davis, is accused of the May 10 shooting death of a man whose body was found in woods near a middle school, DeKalb police spokesman Herschel Grangent said. Grangent would not say what linked Mane to Henry Clark's death. The rapper waived his appearance at a hearing Friday and remains in DeKalb County Jail until a bond hearing. The 25-year-old's album, "Trap House" is expected to be released Tuesday. A publicist for Atlanta-based Big Cat Records did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment. Mane's attorney, Dennis Scheib of Atlanta, said the rapper was at a home on May 10 with a woman and a male friend when five men came to the house and attacked them. Mane grabbed a gun on a table and traded fire with one of the attackers in self-defense, Scheib said. The men fled and Mane did not know that any were injured, his attorney said. He also did not know the attackers but believed they were associated with rival rapper Young Jeezy. "I think police need to look deeper into this case instead of just looking into my client," said Scheib. Mane is known for the songs "So Icy" and "Black Tee."

JumpinJack AJ Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 I haven't even heard of this guy. The 1st thing that comes 2 mind is that he's just another untalented, obnoxious idiot making music. To me, they shouldn't even tack this "murder" title on him as a "rapper." It's just more bad publicity 4 the music style and culture. There's thousands of guys that rap...but dose that make them rappers in the sense as when 2Pac beat down those movie producers?!? Heck 2 the nizzo!! 2Pac waz established with albums and movies...not 2 mention success. This guy is another dime-a-dozen unknown fool who dosen't deserve 2 get attention like this just so the media can abuse the common confusion between Hip-Hop and Rap and making the music look bad.
