#Gucci = A Freed Man

No shade, but I've got to be the only person who didn't know//didn't care Gucci Mane was in jail... But, you've got to congratulate the dude on being a free man! He was released last night after spending six months behind bars for violating his probation on an assault charge. He’s already planning his next album, The Appeal, and will perform at Hot 97’s annual Summer Jam in New Jersey. Check out his well scripted statement and some video below...

“Unfortunately, my incarceration also came at a pivotal point in my career, just as my first major label album was dropping. I was forced to miss what should have been one of the proudest moments of my life. This is something that I will make sure never happens again. My time in jail was trying, but I grew from it and am now a stronger and better person. I want to continue on a positive track and truly focus on being a role model to my fans and my community. I am looking towards the future with a newfound respect and appreciation for the law and a strong dedication to my music and my career.”
