Rapper Gucci Mane gets ice cream cone tattooed on his face after release from mental health facility

Rapper Gucci Mane has had a large tattoo of a triple-scoop ice cream cone inked onto his face just days after he was released from a mental health facility.

Mane, real name Radric Davis, appeared in court on January 3 claiming mental incompetence and saying he was unable to 'intelligently participate in the probation revocation hearing'.

The 30-year-old was sent to a mental health facility to be evaluated.

It is unclear why he has since been released and how it affects his probation status.

When he was released he got the ice cream facial tattoo complete with the word, 'Brrr' on the cone and red lightning strikes coming out of it.

He was arrested in November last year for driving on the wrong side of the road, numerous traffic violations, damage to government property and driving without a valid licence.

Despite growing fame and critical acclaim the rapper has repeatedly had runs in with the law.

He served 90 days in county jail in April 2001 for cocaine charges.

In 2005, he was charged with murder for shooting and killing a man after he was attacked by a group of people at a house in Georgia.

Davis pleaded self-defence and the murder charge against him was later dropped due to insufficient evidence.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Davis has been incarcerated in Fulton County 'at least five times since 2005'.

His latest album The Appeal: Georgia's Most Wanted debuted at Number 4.
