On Tuesday, November second, Gucci Mane announced that Baby Racks is no longer a part of his music label. He sarcastically congratulated the artist in saying, “Congratulations to @Babyracks1017 first artist to get signed and dropped in a day that dude is not signed to 1017.” Baby Racks cancelled deal stems from comments he had made about the city of Houston, Texas, where Migos rapper Takeoff was tragically shot and killed earlier this week.
Racks tweeted himself, “I’m definitely not fw houston after that DONT BOOK ME CAUSE BABY RACKS AINT COMING.” He appeared to shrug off the humiliation as he fired back at Gucci Mane with a sarcastic tweet of his own saying, “Congratulations to babyracks [partying face emoji] appreciate the video appreciate flying me out I appreciate that check Atlantic records sent thank you Gucci.” He then taunted Gucci by asking Jeezy, Yo Gotti and NBA YoungBoy who have all had issues with Gucci in the past for a record deal. “Ima free agent now youngboy get at me @YoGotti wassup @Jeezy holla t me.”
In September Baby Racks and Gucci Mane released a collaboration titled, “Look Ma I Did It,” along with a music video that has over one million views on YouTube. Gucci’s record label started out as 1017 Brick Squad in 2010, with the first artists being OJ Da Juiceman and Waka Flocka Flame. Problems between Gucci and Waka saw the label have a rough period. Things changed in 2016 when Gucci rebranded his label 1017 Eskimo in partnership with Alamo/Empire Distribution. Four years later he once again renamed the label as 1017 Global Music, LLC, and signed a deal with Atlantic.
