Gucci Mane filed a lawsuit against Waka Flocka and his mother Debra Antney back in November, claiming the pair ruined his career and robbed him blind over the years. Now, further details in the suit has been unveiled.
Gucci’s lawyer Thomas Reynolds spoke with XXL magazine and says his client claims that Waka nor Antney had the legal rights to oversee his money and transactions. Additionally, the lawsuit states that songs including OJ Da Juiceman’s “Make The Trap Say Aye” were stolen from Gucci while he was in prison.
“Ultimately, if he’s not been paid the funds that he’s due, he’s got a right to be reimbursed for any amounts that have been withheld from him,”
he said.
“There’s people that were taking funds that they weren’t entitled to, and obviously he’d need to be recouped for that as well… 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.”
Reynolds also cleared up rumors on Gucci’s ownership of 1017 Brick Squad Records and Waka’s arm, Brick Squad Monopoly.
“As far as Gucci’s concerned those labels are still signed to him, and Brick Squad Monopoly is still a subsidiary of 1017,”
said Reynolds.
“As of right now, that’s the way it stands. Now if somebody wants to make an offer to buy it, or to release themselves from a contract, obviously he’ll entertain that and we’ll move forward at that time. But there’s been no serious offers.”
Gucci is suing for fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy and is demanding that the courts freeze Waka and his mom’s assets.
In the meantime Gucci is incarcerated for two separate gun charges, and is facing up to 20 years in prison.
