How tall is Gucci Mane? Gucci Mane is 6 feet, 2 inches tall, according to most websites, and his above-average height is very much in keeping with his larger-than-life persona. The rapper — born Radric Davis on February 12, 1980, in Birmingham, Alabama — arrived on the scene in the mid-’00s, and his 2005 debut album, “Trap House,” made him an underground sensation, if not exactly a global superstar. The Alabama native had grown up in Atlanta, the city he’s now associated with, and his first record followed a childhood in which he was interested in poetry. His first record reached No. 20 on the Rap chart, and most of his eight subsequent LPs have fared even better.
Even more impressive than his 6-foot, 2-inch frame is Gucci Mane’s place in pop culture. For a guy who’s never had a No. 1 album — his most successful to date is “The Appeal: Georgia’s Most Wanted,” which reached No. 4 in 2010 — he’s super famous, and that’s down to a couple of things. First, there’s his criminal record. In 2005, the same year he dropped “Trap House,” he did time on an assault charge, and in the years since, he’s been arrested for assault, battery, and various parole violations. In May 2014, he pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm as a felon, and even though he struck a deal with prosecutors, he’ll likely wind up in prison until 2016, according to TMZ (via XXL). Then, there’s Gucci Mane’s ice cream cone facial tattoo — something that makes him stand out way more than his height, commanding though it is.
How tall is Gucci Mane compared to other famous rappers? At 6 feet, 2 inches tall, Gucci Mane is taller than Kanye West and Eminem, who both stand 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and he stands eye-to-eye with Jay Z, who’s also 6 feet, 2 inches. Gucci Mane comes up just short of Waka Flocka Flame and 2 Chainz, though; those MCs check in at 6 feet, 3 inches, and 6 feet, 5 inches, respectively.
