According to TMZ, Gucci appeared in a Georgia courtroom yesterday and filed a "Special Plea of Mental Incompetency." The rapper claimed that he was unable to "intelligently participate in the probation revocation hearing."
"The court ordered Mr. Davis into the custody of a medical treatment facility, pending a revocation hearing later this month." Mane's lawyer, Michael Holmes, told XXL. The rapper -- born Radric Davis -- may be able to avoid spending 17 months in jail if he's found to be mentally incompetent.
Mane is also set to appear at a hearing on Jan. 24 in Fulton County Superior Court.
Gucci is said to be working on his fourth studio album, 'The State vs. Radric Davis 2: The Verdict,' which is scheduled for release this year. If convicted, this will mark the second time the rapper had to release a project while behind bars. Unfortunately, he won't be the first rapper to do so, especially in recent years. In 2010 alone, T.I. released his 'No Mercy' LP while serving time for violating probation, and Lil Wayne dropped his chart-topping 'I Am Not a Human Being' while serving out his sentence.
Mane has been in and out of jail for the last two years, incarcerated in 2008 and 2010 on a probation violation.
