Gucci Mane‘s latest 1017 Records rapper Mac Critter will now need a criminal lawyer as opposed to an entertainment one — the Memphis rapper is facing a first-degree murder case.

According to law enforcement docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Mac (real name Daniel Bates) was booked late last month in connection with a December 21 shooting in Memphis that left one person dead.
He was officially charged on December 29 and currently sits in Shelby County Jail … but is still assuring fans he’ll be home soon, at least according to a message on his Instagram account.
The 25-year-old rapper signed to Gucci’s 1017 back in October and the 2 collaborated on the song “Dawg” a month later … but the label has been with a severely depleted roster as of late.
2022 XXL Freshman Big Scarr fatally overdosed on December 22, and with this arrest, it’s not been a good start to the year for Gucci … or Mac, for that matter.
