In the wake of nationwide protests against racial injustice, a number of employers are being called out for differential or overt mistreatment of their staff members of color.
Forcing many companies to issue apologies or remove members of management to show their solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement, the heightened discourse around race in America is also causing a number of disgruntled employees to shine a spotlight on their working conditions.
One of the latest making related headlines is GRAMMY-nominated rapper Gucci Mane, who recently took to Twitter to brand his longtime label home, Atlantic Records, as ‘polite racists.’
More inside:
Taking to Twitter Thursday night (June 11), Gucci called for his fellow artists to join him in the fight against major labels.
He also stated:
The tweets above may have been deleted from his official handle, but he’s been retweeting people who are supporting his cause. As of time reported, Atlantic Records has not released a statement about the matter.

I mean.
You can’t speak proper English.
You’ve been to jail multiple times
You’re ignorant
Maybe they just don’t like you ?
A lot of these rappers represent a stereotype
A stereotype that White people put on Black people..and people like you perpetuate it
THIS!!!! These white / j3wish label execs sign the most debased ‘talent’ and then give them monetary incentives to remain debased. UGH
And TOP of that refuse to but budgets to REAL Musicians, Vocalist, Writers ect so yes F*** them because the industry caused the b*******. Went from quality to quantity
@lmfao BINGO
so true
Wonder if Cardi will say anything or if she’ll remain neutral
And ain’t that polite
😊😉😜
Cardi got hits she don’t need to say anything he need to worry to bring hits cause he don’t have it
Gucci Mane is a racist. You should not be allowed to make a racist comment to combat racism, dumbass. I find it hypocritical for him to complain about Atlantic Records on only one topic. This company has a history of problematic behavior, but this man only addresses one aspect? Speak up to help everyone and don’t call people “crackers”.
If ypu are a racist White person then you are a cracker
Sooooooo what’s the difference again if a white artist said f*** these n******?
You can’t have it both ways, b****.
This is exactly why it’ll never fully be even. Too many double standards.
He can take his turd, tattooed face looking ass to the curb cause ain’t nobody checking for him.
i hate it when people say but its ok because black people cant be racist 🙄 oh yes they can no race is better than another race. When i hear but they did this to us i look at places like africa, india and the middle east and see what they do today is no better than what happened to us during slavery yet black people still folow white peoples and arab peoples religions, same religions that have said in the books to s**** people.
Exactly
Love Gucci.. blunt asf! But… Lmao he’s right though.
Oh 💩. I guess his future albums will be shelved. I thought Atlantic had several black executives though??
Oh lord .. now everyone is racist, except black people ! Really ..like really
This country is built on racism and whites even 5he liberals ate socialized to be racist. It is so normalized that most of it goes unnoticed or hard to detect.
Charge him with making a terroristic threat.
moaning about racist and using a racist term to call white people🤨
Gucci Mane, I got one thing to say to you:
Don’t You ever disrespect a great record label like Atlantic Records which was formed by 2 Turkish brothers: Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegun in 1947 because that label helped bring out the greatness of great music legends like Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Solomon Burke, Percy Sledge and Ben E King, all who are dead right now. It also brought out the best of the Vocal Bible, Miss Brandy Norwood and Atlanta rapper T.I.
Your accusations on one of the greatest record labels of all-time is clueless and racist because Atlantic had both black and white musicians working on that label and they never saw “color” back in their heyday.
