Gucci Mane sentenced to 6 months in jail for parole violation

Troubled rapper, Gucci Mane has had an eventful few weeks – first embarking on a public meltdown on Twitter, before opening up about his drug problems and dropping a free mixtape in the process. Now, he’s been sentenced to six months in jail for a parole violation.

As previously reported, the Atlanta man was recently arrested for drug and gun possession, but WorldWrapFederation say that is being deemed as a separate incident.

The courts have instead judged that Mane, who has suffered from mental illness in recent times, should serve 183 days in prison for an unnamed violation.
