In September 2017, Davis published his autobiography, The Autobiography of Gucci Mane.

Following his release from prison in 2016, Gucci Mane became the subject of an internet conspiracy theory that stated he was a clone of the "real" Gucci Mane, citing the rapper's new slim physique, a slight change in his voice and his shift towards a healthier lifestyle as supposed proof. Gucci Mane denied that he was a clone and poked fun at the theory in an Instagram post. Davis discussed his newfound sobriety with The New York Times in 2016.
