Early Life
Gucci Mane was born in 1980 on 12th February in the US state of Alabama. During his birth, his father was a fugitive who was finding the escape route from the law officials.

Gucci, whose actual name is Radric Davis, was raised by his paternal grandma, while his mother attended her teaching session at college.
His elder half-sibling Victor has a big role in introducing him to rap style and hip hop when he was young. It was he who let him become a part of a concert of hip-hop groups. In the year 1989, Gucci along with his mother relocated to Atlanta.
But the area where he was living was not at all friendly, but a place with a high crime rate. And this is how the American rap artist landed in the wrong company when he got involved in dealing with drugs during his school days. Whatever the money Gucci collected for Christmas eve, he used it for purchasing the cocaine and sold it to others.

But one day he was robbed at gunpoint while he was on his bicycle. After this incident, he started carrying a handgun with him.

This followed his jail term for 90 days and probation also.
