Last year, Freddie Gibbs faced one of his biggest scares yet when he was arrested and charged with sexual assault in France, and later found himself in an Austrian jail. He spent three months in a cell before being acquitted of all charges. “I’ve never gotten into any type of situation like this, at all, period.” Gibbs says in an interview with Complex. “I’ve never had any type of domestic situation with a female, any type of thing.”
During his time behind bars, he wrote his new album You Only Live 2wice, which dropped at the end of March. Read an excerpt from the interview below:
I pretty much wrote everything in my cell in Austria. I just wrote things down, wrote ideas, because I didn’t think that I was gonna be able to rap again. You just never know man, so I just wrote a lot of shit. And when I got home I got production and just went in and pieced it together like a seamstress. Everything that I wanted to say I got it all out in this project. And I think that’s why this was so significant for me.
