Gucci Mane says that he regrets getting his iconic ice cream face tattoo. He reflected on the decision during a recent interview with The Morning Hustle, revealing that he was going through a rough patch at the time.
“I wouldn’t take credit for starting the trend, but I think I definitely made people think it was something cool to do,” he said. “I was going through something when I did it. If I could do it over again, I probably wouldn’t have [done] it.” He added: “People don’t know the backstory to that. I wasn’t in a healthy place at the time. That was just a sporadic thing I did.”

The comments come after the release of Gucci’s new album, Breath of Fresh Air. He previously discussed how the project exemplifies his growth over the years during an interview with Streetz Atlanta. “I wanted to put out an album to be a time capsule of where I’m at in my life right now, so I can look back at it 10 years from now,” he said. “I was like, ‘This gon’ be the discography of Gucci in 2023, with my little girl and my boy.’ So now when I look back 10 years from now, I say, ‘Okay, this where I was at.' That’s where [the title] Breath of Fresh Air [comes from]. Like, take your time, enjoy your family and just express that instead of talking about — not even the same stuff I talk about — but the same stuff I hear people talk about.”

Gucci concluded: “Show people you can talk about other things, you know what I’m saying? It’s cool to have a family. It’s cool to have dinner at home.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Gucci Mane’s Breath of Fresh Air on HotNewHipHop.
