A year ago a Reddit thread went viral discussing whether or not Gucci Mane’s label “1017” is cursed because most of the artists are either dead or in jail.
At that time, one Reddit User said:
Wow, I didn’t realize so many of them went out that way. I think it’s got a lot to do with Gucci Mane only signing “real niggas”. He should consider investing in a different type of artist LOL
One even said:
People sleeping on Enchanting though but yeah it’s awful, the icy boys 0/3 rn rip frozone ????????
(A comment that after today did not age well)
The same conversation has reared it’s ugly head again after the unfortunate passing of 26 yr old Enchanting who died Tuesday of an apparent drug overdose.
Gucci shared a post on Instagram about the passing of his artist saying:
So sad to have to say R.I.P to such a great young lady a true star we gone all miss you Chant @luvenchanting ???? ????
It wasnt long before people started to post about the label and all of the unfortunate incidents of artists passing away or in jail.
Gucci label: scarr passed, enchanted passed slim Dunkin passed. Pooh in prison, foo in prison, coach in prison hood rich in prison. This isn’t normal something don’t add up
Keyshia was not here for any of it! She commented:
Leave my husband alone! He signs these artist to help them & give them a better life! I wish it wasn’t like this ! Chant we love you baby girl ! RIH ????
Others chimed in with similar sentiment:
This has nothing to do with Gucci mane . Chan has been messed up mentally since scar passed . Y’all folks don’t know whats been in her head since . People deal with death differently. Ever since he passed she has been fighting battles nobody could help her with !! She lost her bestfriend and said her life would never be the same . GUCCI has nothing to do with how people personally handle their life’s ‘!! Leave that man alone and say a prayer for @luvenchanting family and friends !!
But still on Twitter, people cannot help but highlight the obvious.

Gucci has addressed this before, saying he has been blamed for helping artists and be a mentor but you cannot win.
