Amid an ongoing bidding war for Lil Pump, it looks like Gucci Mane has locked down the “Gucci Gang” rapper for his 1017 Eskimo Records roster.
Despite offers from DJ Khaled and Epic Records, among others, Pump was spotted sporting a 1017 chain earlier this week, setting off rumors he had signed with the East Atlanta Santa.
Pump’s manager Dooney Battle appeared to leak the news on Friday (February 9) while on FaceTime with the 17-year-old Floridian. Battle can be heard saying “Signing Day, Lil Pump signing day. Show ‘em who you signing with,” before Pump flashes his icy new 1017 chain to the camera.
Pump, who reportedly left Warner Bros. in January, was asking for at least $15 million to sign to a new label.
He told TMZ, “New deals on the way, bitch,” he said. “If you ain’t got 15 [million] don’t talk to me, bitch, at all. I don’t want no meeting unless you talking 15 and up. I don’t want to talk to nobody. Esketit! New deal on the way. New money on the way.”
Gucci Mane and Pump have yet to make it official on any of their social media accounts.

A bidding war for Lil Pump is apparently underway. The currently free agent has fielded offers from DJ Khaled and Gucci Mane, among others since parting ways with Warner Bros. Records. Now, the “Gucci Gang” sensation is claiming he won’t sign a record deal for less than $15 million. TMZ caught up with him as he was leaving the New York City-based jewelry store Avianne & Co. and struck up a conversation about a possible deal.
“New deals on the way, bitch,” he said. “If you ain’t got 15 [million] don’t talk to me, bitch, at all. I don’t want no meeting unless you talking 15 and up. I don’t want to talk to nobody. Esketit! New deal on the way. New money on the way.”
Armed with an air of arrogance, Pump also said he’d been “talking to a lot of people” but didn’t mention any specifics. He then bragged about spending more than $10,000 on new chains.
Watch the clip above.
? ? Well at least he making money moves. He ain’t taking nothing, only riches
Lil Pump is a sexy boy!
You think he is sexy????????? WTF! You have major issues. Lil pump is a drug addict with no talent but yet you find him sexy. You need psych help.
I wouldn’t give this fool 15 cents let alone $15 million ROFL
soulja boy 2.0
Why r we jealous? Lil pump isn’t getting 15 millions for his next deal. He needs to put down the drugs. Lil pump is a dime in a dozen rapper. There is nothing special about lil pump. If lil pump was all that, where is the bidding war for his next deal. Fat boy is the only person that is trying to sign him. Why would fat boy paid 15 million dollars to lil pump, if that’s the only offer on the table. Lil pump needs to stop dreaming about money he will never see. Fat boy can find another so called hot rapper and paid far less. This is a promotional stunt.
Only in america can a half retarded junkie get rich lol but all the power to him i guess?
More like Lil’ Penis Pump yo
He knows his time is running out. He tries to make fast money before its too late for him
It’s not about being mad, it’s about this dude not having any respect for the culture. There are plenty of wack, novelty, rappers from the old school. However, having skills is what separated other artists, from them. Nowadays, wack rappers are at a majority. Whoever gives this guy 15 mil, is just as wack as he is. It’s just not good. It’s hard seeing the masses brainwashed by this garbage. I’ll take Wu any day over this sh*t!
So, Kreayshawn all over again? How much did dude’s m!xt@pe well again? And he wants $15 mill? Haha. Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Lil Pump got stopped by his own bodyguard when he tried to run up on somebody.
Fun fact: Kreayshawn is jevvish.
Fun fact your a retarded n a z i
This LAME isn’t worth 15 CENTS! All the mumble stumble fumble crumble NO TALENTS are gonna be in for a RUDE AWKENING when people WISE UP and leave the NURSERY RHYME CLOWNS in the GUTTER Where They Belong and Start Celebrating REAL TALENT Again! No company is that DUMB!
But the TRUTH is we have been in a downward spiral since “crank dat” soulja boy bullshit began and its only gotten worse with every new trend face it raps mostly dead commercialism killed it you wanna listen to good quality rap then avoid tje billboard charts and any charts for that matter
I agree with that statement. The corporations are killing hip hop for rap. Rap doesn’t have any standards. Therefore the corporations can make a nobody into somebody overnight. Plus, they can get rid of black artists like they did with black rock and jazz.
im a gay retard with a colorful hair, can i get 15 millions too?
“lmao we don’t give a fuck about yall. <— Y'all don't give a fuck about yourselves?
Didn’t this guy sign a deal originally with warner bros for 300k?????? Yeah.. FOH
This is the first joke of 2018 this rainbow clown got jokes he should try and be a comic !!!!!!!!!!!!
Spend three racks on a
new chain (huh?) … Fuck a lil bitch, make
her pussy wet (what?) … How many times
does Pump say “Gucci Gang”?
15mill…more lyk 1500….
Hows he worth or think he’s worth 15 mill ? He’s not achieved a lot as a artist . If he was breaking download or sales records then I would understand.
I wouldnt be surprised if khaleds idiot ass pays up that money
Hurry up and OD loser.
lol pump is the voice of a generation! Fuck y’all who hating
He sure is!! A lost, sad, gay, wack ass generation.. that needs to go away.
your generation is trash
Your generation is being used to kill hip hop. You guys must learn the history of the music before the corporations use this generation to kill off another black music form. The golden era and the new generation must unite to figure out what the music should sound like. If the music and the lyrics are dope i don’t care what it sounds like but it is up to us to make the decisions not the corporations. The corporations just want money and not good music. Let’s stop fighting among ourselves and concentrate on the no good corporations.
when you say the next up coming rappers are killing hiphop.
Straight trash, only lame ass kids listen to him.
Lil pump too much mollys done fried his lil dump mind for real…never heard of his music but yet i knkw he is another gimmick
This dude is worse than 50 tones of dog doo roasting in Death Valley on a 120 degree day. If any record company give this chump a 4 or 5 record deal for 15 mill it would be a automatic 13million loss this dude is not going to sell more than 75k a album.
If he ain’t signing a deal for less than $15 Mil then that’s great news for true hip hop fans. Hopefully all other rappers named “Lil” something will follow suit. And yes that includes washed up Wayne.
someone get this dope head the fuck up outta here.
Will he also make good music for this money?
Where is my damn comment DX?!!!
This piece of shit and his wretched sort should just get it fuckin over with already and collectively overdose.
fuck gucci mane for sponsoring this idiot and fuck hip hop dx too
Get this lil My Pony lookin bitch tha fuck outta here
Ask waka how well that worked out
I think he meant 15 million rupees… Iv heard some of his joints .
Seriously? The fuck is wrong with america these days? How in the fuck this braindead talentless teenager can possibly be worth singing for 15 million? It was 1 song. One. Hes gonna be forgotten by the end of the year. He got lucky with that pathetic idiotic “song” getting all the hype and shit but that will be over soon. Beautiful talented artists who make awesome music stay unnoticed while this fucking degenerate gets a bidding war started over him smh
So if I got this right, 1017 is under Atlantic Records(which is owned by Warner Bros).
Y’all not low
he is my sexual role model
That will buy alot of Lean and Xanax I imagine.
Cant mumble without that
This ‘hot for a minute’ LAME had WARNER give GUCCI a MIL to give to PUMP to ‘appear’ he’s on a ‘new label’, when IN FACT GUCCI’s on ATLANTIC which he’s owned by WARNER, so he’s BACK where he started! NEVER ‘Left’, but they can hold on to him – NO LABEL offered him more than that! DJ KOW-FED offered him a Bucket of KFC a week for tha year and a Case of TWINKIES!
It kills me when I see grown ass men listening to this type of music ugh.cringy
Meh, who cares. On a related note, the term “Eskimo” was deemed offensive over a decade ago, so why Gucci is running with it is beyond me.
This trash is here to stay folks. The artists will come and go, but trash rap is the music. It will never get any better, only worse. Either deal with it, or move on.
who in the HELL would give this clown, let alone ANY artist, a 15m advance in THIS day + age?
NO album by ANY artist, even artists that actually SELL real numbers, aint CLEARING no damn 15 mill.
even if someone was dumb enough to do so, he’d end up with about 14 mill in IOU’s back to the label. even with taking a cut of merch and shows, this is just not feasible.
this is as ridiculous as Dr Evil demanding one billion dollars back in the 60s.. maybe more so
