In the hip-hop industry, when artists transition from street culture to legitimate business, they must choose between maintaining street relationships and pursuing financial success, as demonstrated by Gucci Mane's decision to release most artists from his label except for Fujiano and Pooh Shiesty, who were his most profitable investments despite street tensions.

IT’S OVER FOR GUCCI MANE?! FOOGIANO REJECTS GUCCI MANE & SIDES WITH POOH SHIESTY?! 1017 COLLAPSING!Added:
I gotta keep it real. I gotta keep it 10,000.
See, in this day and age, a lot of these guys can never shake the streets. They never want to change. They never want to grow up. You heard? Because at the end of the day, I feel like that's why this whole Gucci Man and Pushisty situation popped off. I feel like these guys couldn't come to the table as men. So Pisty was thinking streetwise.
As we all know, Gucci Man's no longer part of the streets. He's saying F the streets when he made that song going at Poo Shisty.
Now Fujiano's home. Yeah. One of Gucci Man's most prominent artist, most profitable artist is home. Fujiano from Greensboro, Georgia. And to keep it real, he had the streets on fire before he went to the feds. He's coming off almost a fiveyear sentence in the feds.
And now the word is out. He's not rocking with Gucci, man.
Is it over for Gucci? Let's talk about it.
Cap. No cap. No trap. No trap. No trap.
Oh, this is Harlem Legend. No cap. No trap. No trap. No trap. Hey, this is Harlem Legend. No cap. Harlem Legend TV.
We the realest on the screen. Breaking down the culture, keeping everything clean. Hip hop stories roar. Nothing in between. From the block to the world, we chasing a dream. See the world through a land so wide. Every hood story, every truth they hide. I'm the post of the block where the truth TV where the realness abides.
>> Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo. What's good, YouTube? It's your boy E or aka the Harlem Legend. Man, if you're new to the channel, if you're old to the channel, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, please help the channel grow, make sure you set your bell notification so you know when I'm dropping a video or going live.
This one right here, we understand why Poo Shisty is actually in the situation he's in right now. Yeah, we understand why Poo Shisty is back in federal holding because at the end of the day, we got to call it down the line. Gucci man is no longer in the streets. Pushy decided to take the street route. It never works, my people.
Yo, the streets don't mix with business.
I always say this. Now, if you want to call Gucci Man a rat or whatever, what whatever you prefer, but I'm telling y'all, business don't mix with the streets.
See, I got to take y'all back cuz I remember when Gucci Man first said he had to release his whole roster. Yeah.
He wasn't rocking with anybody anymore but Poo Shisty and Fujiano.
See, these are two of the most profitable MC's, artists on his roster. Pay attention, y'all.
Hey, what's up y'all? Listen, I wanted to make this announcement on 1017 yesterday, but I just seen like like my statement, my P&L with all my artists.
You know, it's almost like a whole bunch of shakeup and it's a whole [ __ ] show in the industry right now. But when I look at my P&L and me being a businessman, I think that I'm going have to release almost all my artists except for Pushist and Fujiano, this is a decision I didn't want to make. Um, I thought about it.
You know what I'm saying? I could keep all them under the contract, but I said, "Hey, [ __ ] it." That let's just make the, you know, the unselfish decision and, you know, let them take their talents elsewhere. So today, you know what I'm saying? I already reached out to all of my artists, you know what I'm saying, from their to their lawyers and whatever and let them know that they're free to take that talent elsewhere. And I'm still looking for new talent to pair up with, you know what I'm saying, Poo and Foo. And that's where I'm going to put my focus. And I just wish them the best. And I just want to let everybody know that cuz hey, that's where we at.
>> So to keep it real, yeah, if he wasn't going to tell you, Harlem Legend definitely was. Fujiano was hot. He was on fire. Him, Pushisty, these two guys were on fire. They were making music together, but they also was very close. Pushy was very close to Fujiano, you heard? Fujiano went to jail. He ended up going to prison, you heard? Ended up serving nearly five years in a slammer, you heard? In federal prison. So he understood. Yeah, he understood. Exactly.
what Poo Shisty just went through. You heard? And I got to be real with y'all.
At the end of the day, he comes home having to pick between the label he actually did business with or rocking with the streets because that's what it is y'all. At the end of the day, Pushy I mean Fujiano is one of the hottest artist before he left. You heard? Not saying it's all going to be the same, y'all. But you know, while Pacific dollar amounts for profit aren't public, Fujiano is considered one of Gucci Man's most successful and profitable investments for 1017 records.
Stephen what I'm saying? Huh? Yeah. Top performance. In October 2024, Gucci Man explicitly uh stated that after reviewing his profit and loss P&L statements, he decided to release almost every artist from the label except for Fujiano and Pu Shy. This indicates they were the only two consistently generating enough revenue to justify their spot on the roster. You feel me? major streaming success. Fujiano was big streaming. He got the hit with uh Lil Baby. Yo, like I ain't gonna lie like he he was killing it. Amassed over 40 million. Fujiano has amassed over 40 million streams. his collaborative hit uh Solless Boys 2 with Pooh Shisty has over 88 million streams on Spotify alone and earned a ria gold plaque. You understand? So, hey, I got to be real. It's going to be up to him to choose the streets or choose his business because it comes out today. To be honest, Fujiano is not rocking with Gucci Man. Yeah. Yeah. I got to call it what it is. He's not rocking with him. You heard? Although Gucci Man originally signed Fujiano with a 1 million cash advance in 2020. He gave this man a million dollars.
Some reports suggest it was as high as 2 million, showcasing the uh label's high financial expectations for him from the start. So, they believed in him from the beginning. You heard? And Fujiano is fire.
But let me break down these messages for y'all because these messages is floating around from Fujiano's camp.
Fujiano will not be effing with Gucci man. Somebody says crazy, bro.
That's crazy. But that's what he say he's saying. He said Gucci Man didn't send him not $1 while he was in jail.
That goes a long way. So, not only did we hear the dirty the dirty work that Gucci man not taking care of Poo Shicy and the contract being a little flawed and that's why Poo Shisty deciding to take things in his own hands. We're starting to hear the same thing from Fujiano's camp. He said Gucci Man song was snitching and he don't approve.
Yo, look. I gotta be real y'all. I gotta keep it a 100.
Gucci man believed in Fujiano when nobody believed in him. See, I'm showing y'all how powerful the streets are.
Yeah. This is how powerful the streets are because now he has an image he feels. You heard? He has an image. He just came home, y'all. Yeah. his biggest selling artist along with Pooh Shisty just came home. But guess what? He's not rocking with Gucci Man after all of this. Although Gucci Man is not the street man anymore. He's a businessman.
So, and when he signed you, he was a businessman. When you put your name on that contract, he was a businessman.
See, this is why we have to decipher the streets from what's actually business in the industry.
A lot of people get it confused. See, you think Gucci Man going to just release you after giving you damn near $2 million?
No, sir.
After signing you the damn near $2 million, do you think Gucci Man's going to just take the loss?
No sir. And you might not even be as hot as before you went in.
Look man, I don't make the news. I just break the news down. Gucci man gave a lot of these guys opportunity, put them on a level where they can shine their songs with them. You heard? went in public with these guys to give them the looks and then only to turn their backs on them later on when they get out of prison. Now they want out of the deal after I done gave you such and such money. Nah, I get it from a business standpoint, especially when Gucci man is not claiming the streets anymore. But I must say that song he dropped, he tried to keep it gangster, right?
Yo, it's your boy E or you aka the Harlem legend, man. Whose side are you on on this? I'm all about the business.
That's just me. If we already did business and it's business on deck, what does the Poo Shisty situation have to do with Fujiano?
I signed you the $2 million deal, brother. See, it's it's a fine line there, y'all. Y'all get down in the comments section and let me know how y'all feel. But yeah, Gucci Man may be losing his final artist. Fujiano is saying the hell with him. I'm not rocking with him.
Salute.
Hey, what's up y'all? Listen, I wanted to make this announcement on 1017 yesterday, but I just seen like like my statement, my P&L with all my artists.
You know, it's almost like a whole bunch of shake up and it's a whole [ __ ] show in the industry right now. But when I looking at my P&L and me being a businessman, I think that I'm going have to release almost all my artists except for Pushist and Fujiano.
