Gucci Mane is Changing His Name to Guwop (UPDATE: Just Kidding, Never Mind He's Not)

Gucci Mane has become his best possible self.

Above is a very recent tweet from Gucci Mane announcing that he'll soon be changing his name to Guwop. This is mind-blowing and we really don't want it to be true for some reason even though it's just a name and we'll all be able to still call him Gucci Mane and his rapping probably won't change at all. If I had to guess, someone at Gucci the clothing brand finally decided to sue him for using their name. Alternatively, the answer might lie within his recent track "Guwop Nigga," where he asks, "What you wanna be when you grow up?" The answer to that question is, presumably, Guwop.

GUCCI MANE IS NO LONGER. HE HAS TRANSCENDED SUCH MERE CONSTRAINTS AS TIME, SPACE, GENDER, AND BRANDING. GUWOP IS THE FUTURE. GUWOP IS THE SOUND OF SELF-ACTUALIZATION. GUWOP IS GUCCI MANE BECOMING HIS BEST POSSIBLE SELF.

Gucci Mane is dead. Long live Guwop.

UPDATE: GUWOP IS DEAD. GUWOP DIED BEFORE GUWOP WAS EVER BORN. DUE TO OVERWHELMING FAN RESPONSE THE ARTIST TO BE FORMERLY KNOWN AS GUCCI MANE WILL RETAIN HIS GUCCI MANE MONIKER. THE GUWOP THAT NEVER GUWAS.
