While he doesn't have ay first-hand experience, he learned that drug smugglers apparently call their butts "Gucci bags."

Fredo Bang recently opened up about his experiences behind bars for two years, and also shared his proximity to drug smugglers in prison. While he doesn't have much first-hand experience, he revealed some curious terminology. Moreover, the Baton Rouge MC served two years in jail for a second degree attempted murder charge. He spoke to VladTV of his tales, and as he dug deeper, he had some terms to explain. Furthermore, Vlad asked him of the cruel ways in which people rob smugglers who use their anal cavities to hide drugs. During his explanation, he said that people in prison call their rear end their Gucci bag.

“Your Gucci bag,” he stated, before explaining that using it didn't mean you were safe from a beatdown. “They gon’ beat you up, they gon’ pin you down, they going off in there. They want that mojo, they want that meth and they want that back. If they gotta go in that back, that’s what they doing.” While Fredo sold drugs while he served time, he claimed to never have gone that far.

“I ain’t even gon’ lie, I ain’t never played those games,” Fredo said, “I don’t even know how to wipe back there too long, you feel me? I ain’t never played with my Gucci bag. When I was selling drugs in jail, I used to have like a little pocket. I had a migo stitch in the pocket. So when I go in there, I just pull it out the pants. If I’m getting searched it don’t really show too much. I ain’t put nothing in my Gucci bag.”

Still, the 26-year-old didn't give much further details about how he got the drugs in the facility. In fact, that seems to be part of his nature. Reportedly, he refused to answer questions during a pre-trial conference for YNW Melly's double murder trial last June. Fredo continuously invoked his Fifth Amendment rights and the judge denied the prosecution's motion to require him to answer. As always, log back into HNHH for the latest on Fredo Bang, the case of YNW Melly, and more interesting revelations from rappers.
