Gucci Mane Sued Again for Concert No-Shows

Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane is facing yet another lawsuit for skipping out on his concert dates.The suit names Gucci, his manager Derba Antney and booking agent Johnnie Cabbell as defendants, and was filed in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, by two men who claim that Gucci's team received two $13,750 deposits from them to perform in Pittsburgh this past August, but he never appeared to perform.

Unbeknownst to the plaintiffs, Gucci was barred from leaving the state of Georgia at the time, due to parole violations stemming from a 2005 felony assault charge, which sent him back to prison for a year in November of 2009. At present, he remains incarcerated at Fulton County Jail.

Gucci and his camp are accused of engaging in "a widespread scheme scheduling concerts they knew would not take place, including the concerts involving plaintiffs that are the subject of this complaint." Several promoters made similar claims regarding Gucci & co. over the past year, which his booking agent, Johnnie Cabbell addressed in a statement last December.

"I am fully aware of the recent allegations which have been made about me and my company Hitt Afta Hitt Entertainment (HAH)," said Cabbell. "I am a licensed and bonded entertainment booker and have been operating my company successfully for almost a decade," Johnnie Cabbell told AllHipHop.com last December. "During my career, I have booked thousands upon thousands of shows and have worked with various promoters all over the country. I have maintained an impeccable track record and am operating within the confines of all applicable laws. I've always strived to do the best job I can possibly do and will continue to do that."

A court date has yet to be set for this most recent suit, which seeks over $25,000 in damages.

I truly believe whites are jealous of blacks. If I were a white dork, I'd be jealous too. The reality of it isn't jealousy, but fear. How else does a people who started off in this country as slaves begin to slowly but surely begin to take over just about every single avenue of the mainstream, just by doing something as simple as rapping? I know white people, you're mad!! The South lost the war, white girls are injecting their asses with chemicals to make black men more attracted to them, it's crazy!!!

OK,
FIRST,this guy COULD have notified someone that he could not show up.
SECOND, if he would not have landed in prison and THEN violated his parole, he COULD have shown up.

I don't care if he is black, white, blue, green or yellow and may be the richest man alive and have the GREATEST talen on earth - NONE of that matters if you don't care.

He needs to start living so SOMEONE could look at him and want to be LIKE him.
'nuff said!!

This isn't a white or black issue. What does slavery have to do with this article? I'm gonna need the ignorant individuals on this page, to read a book, and think about what was said. It is so sad that we as America have to deal with people like you all over again! Get a life!

Plain and simple. Why would anybody give rappers their money up front? These so called promoters are just neighborhood knuckleheads trying to make money in a cut throat industry. They got what was coming to them.
