‘Outta Pocket’: Gucci Mane ‘Pissed’ After Car Gets ‘Illegally’ Towed, Blames Miami Club at Which He Was Hosting

Gucci Mane is not a happy camper after his car was towed and apparently damaged during one of his appearances at a nightclub in Miami, Florida.

On Friday, Nov. 1, the “Tone It Down” rapper was hosting at Mr. Jones Miami nightclub when he walked outside to find his red “#812SuperFastFerrari” being towed by Beach Towing. According to fans, the company is known for lugging vehicles and then swindling people out of money to have their cars returned.

Gucci, who’s generally in high spirits, flew into a rage on social media after the incident and claimed his car was in valet when it was grabbed.

“People towed my car from the front of the club, making me pay for it,” the “Trap God” artist said in a video of the incident posted to Instagram on Nov. 2. “Towed my car up now I pay for all my damages for my car from valet after you booked me from the club.”

He claimed security told him to park his car in the valet parking lot, and he insisted that the club would be held responsible for the fees and damages.

“Y’all gonna pay for the damage for my 448 for towing in front of Mr. Jones, illegally,” Gucci added in the video. “I have an officer right here. We gon’ see. $300 for the tow. I guarantee this $20-30K worth of damage. You done put my s–t on a motherf–king flat bed, f–ked my car up. None of this s–t was wrong with my car.”

The rapper panned the camera towards his car bumper where the towing company allegedly damaged his Ferrari. He also slammed the club for calling the police on him after he vented his anger over the situation.

“Y’all called the police on me!!! Who gon compensate & fix my damn car ??????????” Gucci wrote in his caption. “I want my money for my car beach towing Miami litigation otw!”

Gucci fans sided with him and remarked about the incident with mixed reactions.

“No no can’t touch the rari🤦🏽‍♂️ fuk the club & towing company cause I would of sue them both..”

“They did you like that! never supporting them 😲😠 id be PISSED!!! They finna get old Gucci”

“It’s called predatorial towing, but good luck with litigation! If this was still the ole Gucci Mane… y’all lucky its @laflare1017 got his mindset correct”

“#outtapocket 😡 Smh they had already planned to do that especially since they knew it’s your car!!!! That’s wrong”

As of late, there hasn’t been any further update about Gucci’s towing episode. The occurence follows shortly after his recent explosive confrontation with “Breakfast Club” hosts Angela Yee and DJ Envy.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
