  • Asian Doll Slams Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records

    The hip-hop world is abuzz with the recent arrest of Pooh Shiesty and others in connection with an alleged kidnapping and robbery involving Gucci Mane and his 1017 Records contract. This developing story has prompted strong reactions, including from former label artist Asian Doll, who has spoken out years after her departure from the imprint.

    Asian Doll’s Combative Statements

    Asian Doll, who left 1017 Records some time ago, took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the situation. Her initial reaction suggested a broader unrest, stating, “Everybody ain’t playing.” She then allegedly deleted some messages that directly addressed her experience with the label, according to reports.

    In the alleged deleted messages, Asian Doll reportedly criticized those commenting on the situation without firsthand experience, stating, “If you never been signed to a label or been sign to 1017 STFU all you n***as sound like straight D**K EATERS.” She further claimed that 1017 often signed “kids from the poor ghetto that’s active in the streets.”

    A Difficult Departure from 1017

    Asian Doll asserted that she was the first female artist signed to 1017 Records at the age of 19 and described it as the “worst decision” she ever made. She alleged that she had to “fight to get out” of her deal, with the label reportedly not wanting to let her go. She also suggested that subsequent female artists were signed “out of spite.”

    Her remaining tweets include sharp retorts to users, such as “You might as well go suck the feds d**k” and “everybody don’t go out a b***h.” She also retweeted a post suggesting she was the only one who “survived” Gucci Mane’s label, adding her own commentary.

    Asian Doll directly addressed Gucci Mane, stating, “Gucci held me. I had to fight to get out my deal.” She implied that Pooh Shiesty’s actions after being released from jail were a direct response to being “held” by Gucci. The case involving Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane is still developing, with a ninth suspect reportedly arrested.

  • Rick Ross on Pooh Shiesty/Gucci Mane Case

    The hip-hop community is buzzing following the serious allegations that Pooh Shiesty may have kidnapped Gucci Mane in connection with a contract dispute. Amidst the uproar, veteran rapper Rick Ross has offered his thoughts, urging for a more business-minded approach rather than resorting to violence.

    Ross’s Take: No Winners in This Scenario

    Reacting to the news via his Instagram Story, Rick Ross expressed his disappointment, stating, “I don’t like it for either side.” He emphasized that Gucci Mane, also known as Guwop, “most definitely didn’t deserve that,” while also expressing a desire “not to see this for the little homie Pooh Shiesty.”

    Ross specifically addressed the alleged motive behind the incident: using it to get Pooh Shiesty out of his contract with Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records. While this motive hasn’t been officially confirmed, Ross used the situation to highlight the importance of education and negotiation in the music business.

    The Power of Negotiation

    “This is when n***as got to be educated and understand. In business, you got to negotiate,” Ross advised. He elaborated on how artists should approach contract disputes, suggesting that if an artist’s value increases significantly, they should renegotiate terms rather than resorting to drastic measures. “If you signed for $100K and now you got 10 Ms on the table, it’s time to negotiate… Everybody wins, let’s go. That’s how it’s got to go.”

    He firmly stated that trying to “muscle your way out of no s**t in no business” doesn’t work and applies to all parties involved. Ross believes that education and understanding business practices are crucial for aspiring artists to avoid such pitfalls.

    Hopes for Future Success

    Ross, who has a history of fostering relationships within the industry, shared his desire to see young Southern artists succeed. He recalled past efforts to mediate between artists like Yo Gotti and Guwop, aiming to plant seeds for future collaboration and understanding, even if immediate solutions weren’t possible.

    His hope is for artists to eventually achieve financial success and potentially even tour together, like a CMG and 1017 tour. “When it comes to business, let’s negotiate. N***as can’t take [it to] the streets. N***a gon’ get a life sentence with that bulls**t. Let’s get to the B’s,” Ross concluded, emphasizing the severe consequences of resorting to illegal activities.
