Gucci Mane Arrested, Charged With Battery In Ga.
Gucci Mane, whose real name is Radric Delantic Davis, was charged with battery, according to jail records, after he met with his probation officer.
Early Jan. 28, Davis approached Diana Graham, 36, at the South DeKalb Mall, according to a police report obtained by The Associated Press. She was waiting for a beauty supply store to open and Davis, 31, asked her if she wanted to get breakfast.
After she got into the Hummer, Mane told her he wanted to go to a hotel and said he would give her $150, and she refused, according to the report. At that point, police said, the rapper began shoving Graham out of the Hummer.
“Gucci Mane was able to push (the victim) out of the vehicle which was still moving,” the report said.
She was taken by ambulance to Atlanta Medical Center to be treated for soreness and pain, police said, and warrant was put out for Davis’ arrest.
A lawyer who has represented Davis in the past could not immediately be reached for comment. It wasn’t immediately clear why Davis was currently on probation.
Gucci Mane has collaborated with Mariah Carey and Usher, churning out street anthems like “Wasted” and “Go Head,” featuring Man Bre-Z.
In March 2010, during a telephone interview from the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, he told AP that he was more at peace with himself and was trying to figure out his next career moves. He was in the jail serving a six-month sentence after a 2009 probation violation.
