Is Gucci Mane’s Management Being Sued For Scamming Promoters?

This email was forwarded to me By Julia Beverly of OzoneMagazine Who used this as a deflection of her own questionable practices with another independent artist who was trying to purchase Lil Boosie verses and get a clearence from the label. To read more on that click here. Since element9iphop.com exposed her, she since sent out a cease and desist letter asking the site to take down the supposedly defamation of her character and name to see the court documents click here.

Good Morning,

Please be advised that i spoke to Johnnie Cabbell regarding the Gucci Show in Pittsburgh and Gucci’s non-appearance and breach of contract on our two previous dates… Johnnie believes So Icey Ent. (Gucci or Ms. Debbie) WILL NOT reimburse us for lost promote expenses nor defer the back payment of this show to compensate for non-appearance and breach of contract …

My attorney advise that Gucci, Debbie & Johnnies conspiracy to defraud clients by booking shows while Gucci is on house-arrest or in rehab, failing to advise their clients of his confinement or status and knowing that Gucci would be unable to make any shows is a federal and state crime… The attorneys will contact the Pa. Attorney General and/or FBI for investigation against Gucci Mane, Debbie & Johnnie and then move for TRO’s & Preliminary Injunctions to stop any Gucci Shows until he compensates prior clients (we will get the other clients involved with help from JB at Ozone Mag.)…

Johnnies Cabbell request that we wait until Friday, Nov. 13th before we make a decision (Gucci has yet another Court hearing)…I sending this email to advise everyone of this matter and get input.
