It didn’t take long for people to criticize Gucci Mane’s decision to host a club event. Some people joked that they’d be heading to get a vaccine as soon as it’s available, largely due to the disregard for the severity of the virus.
This wouldn’t be the first time a rapper from Atlanta caught heat for a performance in Houston during the pandemic. Earlier this year, Lil Baby performed in front of a packed crowd which drew criticism from the city’s mayor. “It’s very disturbing,” said the Mayor. “The way I look at it, it’s quite selfish on their part.”
“We were below our legal occupancy. Every night we deal with keeping people socially distant. Once Lil Baby (Wednesday night’s headliner) started to perform, people got out of their seats and rush towards the front area, so we had to cut the concert short,” club owners said of Baby’s performance.
