Gucci says: "Don't Buy My Album"

If you’re a Gucci Mane fan who still buys CDs, the natural thing to do would be to go out and support his latest effort, right?

Well, this may surprise many, but Gucci Mane has officially instructed fans not to support his current CD, Trap-A-Thon, which was released through Big Cat Records. The So Icey rapper issued a statement claiming that Big Cat has been releasing his music without authorization.

“It has come to my attention that my former record label, Big Cat, is trying to put out an unauthorized release of my music. Not only was this done without my approval, but the music they are trying to release is unfinished and does not represent who I am today as an artist.” Gucci Mane said.

Gucci said he wants his fans to wait for his authentic release, Back to The TrapHouse, due on November 13th, via So Icey Entertainment/Czar/ Asylum/Atlantic

He added that all inquiries for concert bookings should be conducted via So Icey offices and not Big Cat.

The Biggie trial takes a crazy turn

The Notorious B.I.G.’s wrongful death trial has taken a crazy turn, as an inmate now claims that the LAPD was not involved in Biggie’s murder. The inmate Waymond Anderson says he was offered payment by Big’s mom Voletta Wallace to lie about the LAPD’s involvement.

Ms. Wallace and Faith Evans (Biggie’s widow) filed a wrongful death suit against the LAPD and the city of Los Angeles in April. The suit claimed that two ex-cops, Raphael Perez and Nino Durden, conspired with another former officer, David Mack, to murder Biggie while acting as undercover agents for Suge Knight’s Death Row Records.

Waymond Anderson, who sat for a deposition last month, said he had been approached by another inmate to lie about the case in exchange for money from Biggie's family's lawyer, Perry R. Sanders. He claims that BIG's mother attempted to offer him $150,000 via another inmate.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Anderson said he had a phone conversation with someone identifying himself as Sanders. “He asked me if I received the message from his guys, and the message was that he was willing to pay me for participation in the scam against the city,” said Anderson.

Sanders denied allegations saying that he wasn't even hired by the Wallace family until after Anderson and the other inmate were in prison together.
