Rising Atlanta, Georgia rapper Gucci Mane is expected to surrender to Atlanta authorities today to answer an alleged murder charge. Sources told AllHipHop.com that, Gucci Mane (real name Radric Davis) was involved in an altercation with five attackers last Tuesday in Decatur, Georgia. The rapper is riding the waves of his hit single "So Icy" and, at the time, was making press rounds promoting his album Trap House, which is slated to hit stores next Tuesday (May 24). Reports stated that the incident may have occurred on Tuesday May 10. But, about a day after taping BET’s Rap City, he was forced to turn himself in to Georgia authorities. While details are sketchy, sources stated that the rapper may have been in the area to visit a female acquaintance when he was accosted by the five men. On Friday May 13, officials reportedly discovered a corpse near Columbia High School in Decatur, Georgia. After an investigation, an arrest warrant was issued for Davis. "Big Cat Records informed Davis who responded with full cooperation and immediately returned to Atlanta, postponing further promotional engagements," a Big Cat Records representative said in a statement released to AllHipHop.com. The rapper was recently involved in a war of words with Atlanta rapper, Young Jeezy, after the two collaborated on various songs. The two released a series of diss records and while the two were verbally feuding, sources stated Jeezy appeared on local Atlanta radio denying any connection to the incident.
