Early Life of Gucci Mane
12th February 1980 was the day when Redrick Delantic Davis was born in Bessemer, Alabama. Even though he was born in Alabama, his origin is Atlanta, Georgia. Mane’s dad is known as Ralph Everett Dudley, while Vicky Jean Davis was born in 1955. His father used to work in a power plant and was an ex-U.S. serviceman. Vicky was a social worker and a teacher.
Gucci Mane came from a military family as his grandpa James Dudley Sr. was a U.S. army officer for twelve years. Walter Lee Davis’s grandmother from his mothers was a worker during World War II and USS South Dakota.
Ralph and Vicky came to know each other in 1978, but Jean Davis already had a son ‘Victor Davis.’ When Delantic was being born, Ralph was on the police radar for selling cocaine and heroin. Due to this situation, he had to run away to Detroit, Michigan; thus, he could not sign the birth certificate. Hence, he took his mother’s last name.
Redrick grew up with his mother’s dad because his mom was in school doing her degree. He went to Jonesboro Elementary. Victor Davis introduced Redrick to hip hop by taking him to Run-DMC, LL Cool J, and Beatie Boys. At the age of nine, Gucci and his mom moved to Atlanta. After them relocating, he and his half-brother went to Cedar Grove elementary school.
Gucci Mane Dealing with Drugs
Due to life difficulties, he, together with his brother, began selling marijuana. This is when he was in the eighth grade and continued to sell drugs as an occupation. While in high school at Ronald E. McNair high school, he went on selling drugs.
He never consumed drugs during his start as a drug peddler, but he first took marijuana with a crush girl. They went on to regularly meet and smoke cannabis.
As a drug dealer, he found himself in various threatening situations. The worst is when he was approached by a man and robbed of all his valuables. The first pointed him with a desert eagle.
That didn’t derail him in finishing high school, as he graduated in 1998 with a 3.0. GPA. This enabled him to get a scholarship to study at Georgia Perimeter College and do computer programming. He was dismissed after missing classes regularly. Things were not on his way as he was caught for possessing cocaine and was jailed for ninety days and after had to go through probation.
Music Career
2001 was when he began his music career. Gucci Mane released his first song La Flare which he distributed on CDs in East Atlanta. After that, he started his record label ‘LaFlare Entertainment.’
His debut album was Trap House in 2005, and a popular song in the album was icy, which he had featured Young Jeezy. The album went to become among the best twenty albums on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop album chart.
