Angela Yee Vehemently Denies Pursuing Gucci Mane, Much to the Delight of the Twitterverse

Gucci Mane revealed he had a history with radio host Angela Yee during an interview Friday, Dec. 16, but when Yee denied it, Twitter began taking sides.

The rapper stopped by The Breakfast Club to promote his new album, “The Return of East Atlanta Santa,” and while he discussed his time in prison and his impact on hip-hop, many latched onto Yee’s dismissal of an attempted sexual encounter with Gucci.

“We had already had a history,” Gucci said.

While both agreed they never actually had sex, Yee put down Gucci’s statement about her keen interest in him back in the day. “She done tried,” the rapper said of Yee’s attempts. “She was on my d— back then.”

Although Yee said Gucci was lying, he stuck by his remark. “You did use to be texting me asking, ‘What hotel you was at?’ and s— like that,” he said.

Yee continued to dismiss Gucci, saying, “You must’ve got me confused with somebody else.”

The back-and-forth did not go unnoticed online. Twitter users swiftly shared their thoughts on the situation. Many poked fun at Yee’s attempts to deny her alleged pursuit of Gucci.

Cookie Targaryen pointed out Yee’s co-hosts, Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy, consistently hang her out to dry.

Yac House P seemed to straddle the fence on the veracity of Gucci’s claim.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
