Gucci Mane and Jeezy’s falling out over “So Icy” created huge friction within Atlanta. Wop remained one of the most prolific artists out of the A, while Jeezy experienced incredible commercial success afterward. At a time when these two figures transformed hip-hop and asserted Atlanta as a capital for rap music, the falling out between them created tension that led to the death of Pookie Loc – a man whose name has been mentioned on numerous occasions in Gucci Mane’s diss tracks towards Jeezy.

Fortunately, the two buried the hatchet recently. In the middle of the pandemic, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland managed to bring Jeezy and Gucci Mane together in Magic City for an epic Verzuz performance that has hardly been outdone. The two set record-breaking numbers, celebrated their catalogs and finally made peace with one another. By the time the event ended, they capped off the evening with a performance of “So Icy” for the first time in their life.

Bleu Davinci Claims Big Meech Started Feud Between Gucci Mane & Jeezy

Bleu Devinci detailed Big Meech’s role in Wop and Snowman's beef during his interview with The Cam Capone Show. Davinci said he was meant to join the other two rappers on the song as BMF planned to purchase “So Icy” from Gucci Mane. “It was going to me my song. We was going to drop with that record,” he explained. “But [Gucci Mane] wanted $100,000. Meech wasn’t buying it.”' during his interview with The Cam Capone Show.

While Meech and his team are known for blowing that much money in a strip club on any given night, he was not willing to shell six figures for the record. “Meech was like, ‘Fuck that record… We ain’t givin’ that n***a no $100,000 for that bitch ass song, ’” Davinci recalled Meech telling him. “It came down to some shit like that, it wasn’t even Jeezy. It was really Meech that denied it.” He said that he believes Gucci Mane probably felt a way about their counter-offer, which led to further friction between the two camps.  Davinci said that Meech probably would've reacted similarly if the prices was lowered to $15K-$20K.
