The animosity between the two artists traces back to their iconic track “So Icy.” Gucci Mane, who held the rights to the song, refused Jeezy’s request to include it on his album “Thug Motivation.” This refusal ignited a firestorm of diss tracks, escalating into dangerous territory with Jeezy allegedly placing a bounty on Gucci’s chain. The conflict culminated in a life-altering incident where Gucci was forced to defend himself, leading to a self-defense case that changed both their lives forever.
