Several reports claiming that Gucci Mane was released from prison and celebrated at Club Onyx in Atlanta last night emerged on the web earlier today. But according to MTV News … the rapper is still locked up!
Gucci was expected to be released yesterday, according to his lawyer Ashutosh Joshi, but it seems that “procedural holdups” prevented that from happening. MTV News also learned that there is currently a hold on Gucci’s release and a possibility that once he is freed from Fulton County Jail that he would be sent up to a state prison. The rapper’s lawyer however says that once this issue is resolved Gucc will be free man.
