<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> With America’s independence day on its way, Gucci Mane makes a </span></span></i></span><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">declaration of his own.</span></span></i></span> Hip hop artist Gucci Mane tweeted Atlantic Records, referring to them as “polite racists,” threatening to leave the label following the release of his new album, “So Icey Summer.” <img class="size-medium wp-image-6837 aligncenter" src="https://www.amanmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/pasted-image-0-300x300.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" /> <span style="font-weight: 400;">In a deleted tweet, Mane wrote “Leaving #AtlanticRecords July 3rd these crackers polite racist #SolcySummer.” July 3 is also when Mane is set to release his new album.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">The album, tittled “So Icey Summer,” consists of 24 tracks, and will feature Atlanta-based artists such as Young Thug, Lil Baby, Future, and 21 Savage. </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">“So Icey Summer” may mark the end of a partnership between Mane and Atlantic Records, as Mane considers going independent. In a later post, Mane stated that Atlantic had been trying to censor his music. “They been want to censor me,” tweeted Mane. </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">In another tweet, Mane berated Atlantic bigwigs again when he wrote, “To all snitches and my haters and the most polite racist ever I pray ya’ll die from coronavirus.”</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Mane’s exodus from Atlantic may be triggered partly by the murder of George Floyd and a proliferation of Black Lives Matter demonstrations. As some wish to see a systemic change in American society, Mane wishes to see a change in the music industry.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Later on, he tweeted, “All artists let’s go on strike f— these racist a– labels burn them down too #BlackLivesMatter #BlackExecMatter f— these crackers.”</span>
