The 15-year feud between Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane is traced back to a dispute over the song "So Icy" and a $10,000 bounty Jeezy allegedly placed on Gucci's chain. This culminated in a 2005 home invasion where Gucci Mane shot and killed Pookie Loke, an associate of Jeezy, in self-defense. Although the murder charges were dropped, the event left a permanent rift and resulted in years of "diss tracks" and public hostility.
