Deb Antney, former music manager of Gucci Mane and Nicki Minaj, recently appeared on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion podcast. And revealed new information regarding the two rapper’s relationship.
You know what hurt me? Gucci couldn’t stand her. He didn’t like Nicki. Because he couldn’t f**k her. He didn’t like her! But for you to give these big-ups to the shit that he did? That shit was crazy! He ain’t do nothing for you! He didn’t even like her!
Antney, who is also the mother of rapper Waka Flocka Flame, recalled a time when she added a Minaj feature on one of Gucci’s songs.
He had a fit when I had her getting on a record. But I wanted all of them to work together because we’re a family, so we all have to be together. It can’t be any of this.
The Former Music Manager Says Gucci Mane Is “Selfish”
Antney went on to call the “Lemonade” rapper “selfish.”
He’s very selfish. He’s very much to himself. I don’t even understand how he gets to sign artists. I never let artists sign to other artists… because they not gonna let them become bigger than them.
Antney’s Story Contradicts A Prior Claim Made By Gucci
According to HipHopDX, Gucci Mane claimed to have slept with the Queens-bred rapper in a derogatory 2013 tweet.
Me and waka f**k nikki minaj dats nothing
Gucci Mane added that he was responsible for moving Minaj to Atlanta.
I pulled dat b***h off wayne bus.
The rapper later apologized and blamed his tweet on his addiction to lean.
Woke up the other day out this hospital bed & I'm so embarrassed & ashamed of my behavior that was brought to my attention. (Cont)

I just wanna man up right now & take this time to apologize to my family, friends, the industry & most of all my fans. I'm SORRY! (Cont)
— Gucci Mane (@gucci1017) September 22, 2013
I've been drinking lean for 10plus years & I must admit it has destroyed me. I wanna be the first rapper to admit (cont)
— Gucci Mane (@gucci1017) September 22, 2013
I'm addicted to lean & that shit ain't no joke. I can barely remember all the things I've done & said. However there's no excuse. (Cont)

At the time, Minaj responded to Gucci’s claim — quickly shooting it down.

According to HipHopDX, Minaj added that Gucci was “fighting so hard” for “relevance.”
He’s fighting so hard for one more ounce of relevance. Tyga and I turned down his feature request last Thursday. He’s sick and in dire need of rehab. I’m praying 4 him. 4real.
The Pair’s Current Relationship
According to the outlet, Gucci Mane and Minaj squashed their beef in 2017. The two appeared on a song together called “Make Love.”
Antney and Gucci Mane’s relationship, however, has remained estranged. The outlet reports that Gucci Mane accused Antney of stealing a song from him, in his 2017 biography. And giving it to OJ Da Juiceman.
