Gucci Mane has confessed that he’s remorseful over his famous ice cream face tattoo, especially due to him not being in a good place at that time.
During a recent interview with The Morning Hustle, Guwop admitted that while he doesn’t believe he started the trend of rappers getting face tattoos, he has mixed feelings about the ice cream cone he had inked on his right cheek back in 2011.

“I wouldn’t take credit for starting the trend, but I think I definitely made people think it was something cool to do,” he said. “I was going through something when I did it. If I could do it over again, I probably wouldn’t have [done] it.”
He added: “People don’t know the backstory to that. I wasn’t in a healthy place at the time. That was just a sporadic thing I did.”

Gucci Mane has been reflecting on his life and career of late following the release of his new album, Breath of Fresh Air. In a separate interview with Streetz Atlanta, the father of two spoke about wanting to make being a family man “cool” with the project.
“I wanted to put out an album to be a time capsule of where I’m at in my life right now, so I can look back at it 10 years from now,” he said. “I was like, ‘This gon’ be the discography of Gucci in 2023, with my little girl and my boy.’ So now when I look back 10 years from now, I say, ‘Okay, this where I was at.'”

He continued: “That’s where [the title] Breath of Fresh Air [comes from]. Like, take your time, enjoy your family and just express that instead of talking about — not even the same stuff I talk about — but the same stuff I hear people talk about.
“Show people you can talk about other things, you know what I’m saying? It’s cool to have a family. It’s cool to have dinner at home.”
That growth and maturity was on display at Gucci Mane’s album release show in Atlanta last week, where he officially buried the hatchet with his former rival T.I.
The two Southern rap legends surprised fans by sharing the stage together at The Tabernacle, where they had a brief conversation and shook hands in front of the crowd.

Released on October 17, Breath of Fresh Air clocks in at 24 tracks and boasts features from J. Cole, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, the late Young Dolph and many more.
The project serves as the follow-up to Gucci’s 2021 effort Ice Daddy, which peaked at No. 34 on the Billboard 200 chart.
