Last night Gucci Mane had everyone talking when he sent out a tweet saying that his longtime friend and business associate Waka Flocka had been dropped from his 1017 Brick Squad label.
Waka replied by telling Gucci to "suck a d*ck."
This morning Miss Info is reporting that Guwop's Twitter may have been hacked. Rahim of Atlantic/Warner said he spoke to Gucci's manager, who confirmed the hack.
The situation remains kind of cloudy because Gucci's tweet about releasing Waka hasn't been erased even though he tweeted from the account this morning about an upcoming performance.
Maybe La Flare will clear all of this up at some point today.

Deb Antney doesn't play around when it comes to her money. She is going after French Montana in court for breach of contract.
Antney, who runs the management company Mizay Entertainment, has helped to guide the careers of Nicki Minaj and her son, Waka Flocka Flame.
According to TMZ, French entered into an exclusive management contract with Antney in 2010. In the lawsuit Antney claims the Bad Boy Records artist went behind her back to secure concert deals without her knowledge, then subsequently never paid her the 20% cut their contract called for.
French was served with the lawsuit while entering an Atlanta concert venue on Tuesday. Antney is asking the court to make him fork over $50,000 in unspecified damages.

Gucci Mane just announced that he has dropped his once good friend Waka Flocka Flame from his 1017 Brick Squad label.
At this point we're unsure what happened to make Gucci reach this decision. La Flare said via Twitter that he is currently fielding offers for Waka's services.
What this means for Waka's solo career we'll have to wait and see, but he does have his own label, Brick Squad Monopoly, which has it's own artists.
*UPDATE* Waka Responds
Waka didn't take long to respond to being dropped from Gucci's label. He sent out a tweet dissing his former boss, then deleted it. He should know know by now though that once a tweet is sent out it's never erased when you have 1.5 million followers.
Check out what Waka had to say below.

After being treated and released from the hospital earlier this week because of seizures, Lil Wayne is now back in the hospital.
Wayne is in critical condition according to TMZ. He was rushed to the hospital earlier today after his bodyguards found him on the floor unconscious. He was transported to a hospital where doctors tried to stabilize him and could not. The rapper had to be placed in restraints because he was shaking uncontrollably.
The Young Money CEO is currently in a medically induced coma. He is breathing through tubes.
His mother is on a flight to L.A. right now. She will make all major decisions about Wayne's health. The decision to discontinue life support will not be made until she arrives.
**UPDATE**
Both Cash Money CEO, Birdman and Young Money President, Mack Maine have responded to the reports and say they are false.
**UPDATE** Number 2
Wayne just tweeted that he is doing fine.
From TMZ:
6:30 PM PT -- Sources at the hospital tell us Wayne is still in critical condition in the ICU ... but stabilizing.
We're told the prognosis is uncertain.
Wayne is sleeping right now ... which is odd, because he just tweeted saying he's OK and thanking people for the prayers and love.

After serving two months in a Chicago juvenile detention center, Chief Keef was freed yesterday. The scene was documented by Dib Entertainment.
Keef was greeted by his Glory Boyz Entertainment crew, family members and his young daughter.
It appears that Keef used his timed locked away to write a lot of new music. A police officer handed a bag of notebooks filled with lyrics to one of his team members before he left the facility.
Almost immediately after getting out of jail police were concerned about a posting on Keef's Facebook wall taunting a deceased Gangster Disciples member.
“F*ck a TOOKA gang!!! BITCH IM 3 Hunna," Keef wrote, according to the Chicago Sun Times.
Tooka was the nickname of Shondale Gregory, a 15-year-old shot to death at a bus stop at 63rd and St. Lawrence on Jan. 12, 2011 in the Woodlawn neighborhood on the South Side.
“He’s heating things up before he’s even out,” one police source said.
Keef is reportedly affiliated with the Black Disciples.
Will Keef be able to stay out of trouble?
