Gucci Mane will likely go down in history as one of the most resilient rappers to ever grab a mic. In fact, Gucci’s story is so inspiring, we can all learn a lesson or two from him.
The East Atlanta superstar has not had an easy life by any means. He most recently served three years in prison for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, a notch on a floor-length rap sheet that could’ve easily forced his career to a complete stop. Not only did a troubled Guwop (who’d previously been committed to a psychiatric hospital) continue to make music from behind bars, he completely turned his life around. Fans were introduced to a slimmer, healthier and more motivated Gucci once he was released on May 26, 2016.
La Flare hit the ground running with a purpose, and hip hop fans rallied around the rapper in support of his climb to the top. One year after coming home, the East Atlanta Santa is in a good place. He proposed to his girlfriend and has a BET wedding special scheduled to air on October 17, plus he maintains a commitment to serve his community and enjoy life. It’s a true testament to his strength and character.
