Famous Rapper Donates $20,000 Towards The Funeral Of His Late Signee, Family Says It's Not Enough
Gucci Mane, an iconic figure in the rap scene, has recently come under fire after the tragic accidental overdose of his signee, Big Scarr (Alexander Woods).
The controversy stems from allegations made by Scarr’s close friend and collaborator, Quezz Ruthless, who accused Gucci of failing to honor his commitment to cover Scarr’s funeral expenses.
According to Quezz's passionate Instagram Live rant, Gucci Mane not only reneged on his promise but also allegedly blocked those who reached out to him regarding the funeral payments.
As tensions continued to rise, Scarr’s sister, Alexandra Woods, echoed Quezz’s sentiments, adding to the flames by revealing that Gucci had even requested the return of Scarr’s 1017 chains posthumously.
However, a twist in the narrative arrived when Gucci's wife, Keyshia Ka’Oir, intervened. She shared evidence of a $20,000 payment directly to N.J. Ford & Sons Funeral Home, alongside a message urging critics to lay off her husband.
In a subsequent post, she expressed disappointment over the lack of gratitude for all that they had done, including the floral tributes they sent. Adding another layer to the already tumultuous situation, Gucci Mane decided to forgo attending the funeral.
His decision drew criticism, with Quezz Ruthless warning him about potential repercussions had he attended. While Scarr’s death was undeniably tragic, the surrounding drama has taken center stage, casting a shadow over his memory.
Gucci Mane has decided to remain silent on the matter, thus amplifying the suspense in this unfolding saga.
