‘She Bout to Risk It All’: Gucci Mane’s Latest Photo Leaves Folks in Stitches

Gucci Mane sent fans in a tizzy this week after flaunting his fit physique in an Instagram thread.

The “Money Machine” rapper has been feeling himself quite a bit since his 100 pound weight-loss transformation. For the last few months, he’s posted a slew of shirtless images, showing off his apparent six-pack and, it seems his reign of sexy pictures has yet to end.

Gucci was recently spotted at the Drais Nightclub and Cromwell Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, this past weekend, and before heading out for a lucky night of gambling, he apparently had his own personal photo shoot. He shared a picture of himself posing inside his hotel room with his open button-up shirt, displaying his obliques and abs.

He also posted another photo of himself seemingly heading down the steps outside the casino. He wrote in his Instagram caption “Tip Of The Day! Bet On Black 💰💪🏿😤.”

Fans pointed out the apparent female security guard who appeared to be checking the rapper out. A few cracked up at the stranger’s seemingly lustful look, while others expressed the same feelings.

“Damn i don’t blame her Gucci out her looking like a whole chocolate bar 🍫 🤑.”

“She like damn is that Gucci Mane 🤣 chocolate milk me please keyshia get ya mans.”

“Man ain’t wore a shirt all year 😂 look at that chick checking him out 😩.”

“He fine af so I don’t blame sis for looking at him like a meal.”

“That chick wanted a piece of Gucci Lol #motivation #stop breathing.”

The “Bricks” artist appears to be in the best shape of his life and urged fans in April to use his substantial weight loss as inspiration for themselves.

“For people who ain’t in shape, people who ain’t healthy, people need some inspiration. I was 290 pounds, now I’m 190 pounds. I lost 100 pounds,” he said in a video recorded by his wife, model Keyshia Ka’Oir.

He added, “You can do it if I can do it. Use me for inspiration, ’cause I’m seeing a lot of y’all and y’all look terrible.”

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.
