Gucci Mane

Radric Delantic Davis, known worldwide as Gucci Mane, was born on February 12, 1980, in Bessemer, Alabama, and raised in East Atlanta, Georgia. He is widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of trap music, a subgenre of hip-hop that originated in the Southern United States. Alongside T.I. and Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane helped define the sound and culture of trap in the early 2000s. His debut album “Trap House” (2005) and the hit single “Icy” established him as a major force in Southern hip-hop.

Gucci Mane’s career has been remarkably prolific, with over a dozen studio albums and hundreds of mixtapes released throughout his career. He founded 1017 Records (originally 1017 Brick Squad), which launched the careers of numerous successful artists. His mixtape output in the late 2000s and early 2010s was legendary in hip-hop circles, with projects dropping at an almost unbelievable pace. Despite spending several years in prison for various legal issues, he continued to release music and maintained a dedicated fanbase.

After his release from federal prison in 2016, Gucci Mane experienced a dramatic personal and professional transformation. He adopted a healthier lifestyle, lost significant weight, and released “Everybody Looking” to critical acclaim. His 2017 autobiography “The Autobiography of Gucci Mane” became a bestseller, and his lavish wedding to Keyshia Ka’oir was broadcast as a BET special. He continued releasing successful albums including “Evil Genius” (2018) and “Ice Daddy” (2021), while also expanding his business interests.

Gucci Mane’s wealth extends beyond music into fashion and entrepreneurship. His wife Keyshia Ka’oir runs the successful Ka’oir Fitness and Ka’oir Cosmetics brands, contributing to the family’s combined wealth. He has endorsement deals, a clothing line, and continues to earn from his vast music catalog. His label 1017 Records has signed artists like Pooh Shiesty, Key Glock, and others who have achieved commercial success. With an estimated net worth of $14 million in 2026, Gucci Mane’s legacy as a trap music pioneer remains firmly intact.
