Welcome Home Gucci (Miami Edition)

July 12, 2011 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

Since Gucci Mane’s release from jail this past weekend, he’s been celebrating non-stop. Last night, he visited the King Of Diamonds in Miami with Ace Hood and journalist to the stars, Shaheem Reid. For the latest edition of Rap Radar’s Guest List, Sha gives us his take on the festivities.

What’s up Rap Radar fam? I’m down in Miami shooting something real special with the homie Ace Hood. About 2 A.M. this morning, we hit King of Diamonds, which is so over the top right now (in a great way.) Besides women dancing (Chi Chi you have plenty of jokes!), they had a series of boxing matches. How crazy is that? I missed RAW last night (what up CM Punk?) But got my fill of squared circle action. Lol.
Gucci was there with his crew including Coach K and Twin. Mr. LaFlare was all smiles, says he’s “doing great. Doing excellent” since coming home. N.O.R.E. was in the building as well. It was all love. Funniest thing in the world was watching Ace and Gucci throw stacks at the girls while they fought. One chick got laid out Debo style… Brutal… Last thing, the new phrase is “packs on packs on packs.” The ones come in packs of thousands wrapped in plastic. Lol.

Get More: MTV Shows

Now that 50 Cent’s added Kidd Kidd to his G-Unit Label, he explains to MTV his reasoning for signing the New Orleans artist Just last month, Kidd Kidd was shot six times in his hometown. He now has to wear a colostomy bag. Shit, man.

“It’s a lot goin’ on down there, and because I experienced it, I didn’t move away from it. I actually ID’d with the situation a little more. He got hit six times, he got a bag on now. Columbia, when that situation took place with me, they walked away from me just because they’re not familiar with the actual environment and what happens at different points. It don’t make me no difference: I understand it.”
