 Gucci Mane may be one of the "Hottest MCs in the Game", according to MTV, but some of past decisions are keeping him from capitalizing off his fame with various shows outside his home state of Georgia.
The Atlanta rapper was scheduled to headline the North Carolina A&T University homecoming concert on Saturday (October 31) at the Greensboro Coliseum, but pulled out of the show, due to a "recent legal ruling that prohibits him from traveling out of his home state," said promoters.
His name already caused problems for the show prior, after A&T withdrew its name and financial support from the concert after receiving complaints about Gucci Mane's reported ties to gangs.
Student body leaders have apologized for booking rappers Gucci Mane and OJ Da Juiceman, which caused controversy, reports local news station WXII12.
Student body president Syene Jasmin and his chief of staff, Gary Brown, said they should have done a better job screening the performers scheduled for the Saturday concert.
The concert went on as planned, with acts such as Nicki Minaj, Keri Hilson, Trey Songz, Fabolous, Mario, GS Boyz and FLY picking up the slack.
Aside from his inability to perform outside Georgia, Gucci is gearing up for the release of his first major label album, The State Vs. Radric Davis, which is due to hit stores December 8.
