In the same way that he went on an all-out rant against rivals and collaborators a few weeks ago, Gucci Mane took to Twitter to apologize to his fans and those he slandered.

In a string of tweets posted yesterday, he admitted to his lean addiction and said he was going to rehab for it:

"Woke up the other day out this hospital bed & I'm so embarrassed & ashamed of my behavior that was brought to my attention. ...I just wanna man up right now & take this time to apologize to my family, friends, the industry & most of all my fans/ I'm SORRY....I've been drinking lean for 10plus years & I must admit it has destroyed me. I wanna be the first rapper to admit...I'm addicted to lean & that sh** ain't no joke. I can barely remember all the things I've done & said. However there's no excuse. ...I'm currently incarcerated but I will be going to rehab because I need help. I wanna thank everyone that has stood by me...during this difficult time. Please keep me in your prayers."

Gucci Mane also took the time to apologize directly to some of the people he had dissed during his Twitter rant, including Birdman, Drake and Rick Ross. He wrote, "I wanna personally apologize to birdman Ross & Drake. Dem my niggas. I 100% regret my words & actions." He later said sorry to Keyshia.

He also mentioned that he has written some new material during his incarceration. "Wrote sum new hard sh** can't wait to get out dis hell hole so ya'll can hear dis shi**."

Last week, he was checked into an Atlanta hospital, according to MTVNews, after an agitated face-off with police offers. A few days earlier he almost got into a fist fight with a shopper at Lenox Mall in Atlanta; it was caught on tape. He was charged with disorderly conduct, marijuana possession and carrying a concealed weapon.

His fans on Twitter have shown their support of his decision to go to rehab.

What do you think about his decision to go to rehab? Who else deserves and apology? Nicki Minaj or Waka Flocka Flame, perhaps? Let us know in the comments section below.
