(AllHipHop News) Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane has officially parted ways
with his former management company Mizay Entertainment and booking
agency Hitt Afta Hitt Enterprises.
Mizay Entertainment is helmed by Debra Antney, while promoter Johnnie
Cabbell is the owner of Hitt After Hitt Enterprises.
Both companies and their respective owners are named in several federal
lawsuits, claiming they booked Gucci Mane in several cities throughout
the country, without disclosing that the rapper was heading to jail.
Gucci missed a string of dates over the past year, resulting in lawsuits
against Mizay and Hitt After Hitt for failing to return
hundreds-of-thousands of dollars in advanced payments.
Gucci has closed down his So Icey Entertainment imprint and is
now the President and CEO of 1017 Brick Squad Records Inc.
The artists on the new label are Wacka Flocka Flame, OJ Da Juiceman,
Bricksquad (Wacka, OJ and Gucci) and Gucci Mane himself.
"The rest of 2010 is going to be real major," Gucci Mane
told AllHipHop.com in a statement today (May 4th). “I'm taking
control of all of my business properties and keeping the focus on my
career, my music and my artists. All the pieces to the puzzle are
finally in place and once I get home it's Gucci time."
Gucci Mane also has a new management team to handle his career now that
he has parted ways with Mizay Entertainment.
The rapper has entered into an exclusive management deal with First
Avenue Management, while CAA will now handle the booking of
his shows.
He also named David Bolno, Managing Director at Nigro, Karlin, Segal
& Feldstein as his new his new business manager.
In April, Nicki Minaj abruptly fired Debbie Antney and Mizay
Entertainment from managing her career.
Last week, Antney and Cabbell were named in another lawsuit in Allegheny
County, Pennsylvania over a failed show in Pittsburgh last
August
