Guwop is currently serving his sentence at the United States Penitentiary, Terre Haute, a high-security federal prison in Indiana. Although he’s been behind bars for almost two years, Gucci Mane has remained culturally relevant, having released a multitude of digital albums and mixtapes throughout his prison stint.
Now, his girlfriend Keyshia Ka’oir is offering a look inside her bae’s incarceration. She posted a sweet photo of the duo embracing. Looks like Gucci has lost weight and is growing out his hair.
Meanwhile, last month, producer Mike WiLL Made-It revealed that Gucci won’t be able to host his long-awaited Ransom 2 project:
“Now I can get #RANSOM2 done how I want to,” Mike WiLL wrote on Twitter. “Unfortunately the feds said no to Gucci hosting a project from jail.”
The emcee is scheduled to be released from prison sometime this fall.
