Gucci Mane has been accused of swindling Big Scarr's family for the deceased rapper's funeral fees.
Scarr, who was affiliated to Gucci's New 1017 Records label, died on December 22 at the age of 22. It was eventually revealed that he overdosed on prescription drugs at his girlfriend's residence in Memphis, Tennessee.
Scarr's close friend and colleague Quezz Ruthless slammed Guwop in an Instagram Live broadcast over the weekend for reportedly promising to pay for his former signee's burial and then abandoning his family when the time came.
“You say to them you finna pay for the funeral, then you lie,” Quezz said. “You didn’t have to lie! You ain’t have to go ghost either, cuh. It was gonna get paid for either way. You could’ve just said you ain’t have the money. You don’t get no type of respect for that, cuh.”
He added: “The minute that them folks called yo phone to see if you gon’ pay for the funeral, you blocked them. That’s not real, cuh. You ain’t straight. You only trying to act all real. You posted Scarr talking ’bout some long live — bruh, you ain’t do nothing, cuh.
“When they texted you and asked you about Scarr’s funeral, cuh, you told them folks that Keyshia’s birthday coming up. Man, y’all rich! Y’all can celebrate her birthday any day. Come on now, cuh.”

Gucci was also mentioned by Quezz. Following Scarr's death, Mane asked Scarr's family to return the rapper's 1017 chains, but the So Icy Boyz boss refused.
“You not getting them chains, bruh,” he said matter-of-factly. “You ain’t even text and check on the family, but you text about some chains. I can’t believe you, cuh! You betta not come trying to get these chains. We gon’ have a real problem.
“Them chains, ours. Everything that we got, ours. You not getting it back, boy… Texting ’bout you want the chains; come get ’em then. Please come try to grab them.”
Alexandra Woods, Scarr's sister, also slammed Gucci Mane for supposedly failing to meet his funeral commitment and seeking the return of Scarr's jewelry.
“OMM he not getting them chains back!!” she wrote on social media. “YES He asked for the chains back & NO he not getting them hos back!! My brother earned ts my brother mean everything to us and for him to do him like that is low down Af!!!
“He said he couldn’t pay for the funeral because his wife birthday coming up n-gga you a millionaire Gucci a B I T C H!!! Gotta get in back in blood!!!!”
Gucci Mane allegedly asked Big Scarr’s family for his own chains back and said he could no longer pay for the funeral after previously promising to. pic.twitter.com/28tFD5aDYG
