Pooh Shiesty, along with his father Lontrell Williams Sr. and fellow rapper Big30, has been arrested for allegedy robbing and kidnapping at gunpoint Gucci Mane and two others earlier this year.
Shiesty (real name Lontrell Williams. Jr.) is one of eight defendants who were taken into custody by federal authorities this week in connection with the incident. A ninth suspect remains at large.
According to the Department of Justice, Shiesty arranged a meeting with Gucci Mane and two other music industry professionals (referred to by the initials M.M. and B.P.) on January 10 at a Dallas recording studio to discuss the terms of his contract with 1017 Records.
When the three men entered the studio, Shiesty and his crew “executed a coordinated armed takeover,” the DOJ claims. Shiesty allegedly pulled out an AK-style pistol and forced Gucci to sign contract termination paperwork releasing him from his deal.
The “Back In Blood” rapper is also accused of stealing Gucci’s wedding ring, watch, earrings and cash.
The remaining defendants allegedly brandished firearms and robbed the other victims of Rolex watches, jewelry, cash, and other high-value items as Big30 barricaded the studio door with his body to prevent them from leaving.
The victim referred to as M.M. was even choked to near unconsciousness during the incident, according to authorities.
Pooh Shiesty was on home confinement at the time of the incident for a previous firearms conspiracy conviction in Florida. He had only been released from prison in October 2025 after spending four years behind bars.
Investigators used various pieces of evidence to charge Shiesty and his crew, including fingerprints, rental car records and social media posts shared displaying the allegedly stolen items, which were shared just hours after the incident.
If convicted, each defendant faces a sentence of up to life imprisonment.
Neither Pooh Shiesty, Big30 nor Gucci Mane have yet addressed the charges.
Pooh got a boo in there he was eager to get back to, he ain’t want the typical fail a drug test go back for 6-18 months in jail or a minimum security. He wants the full experience 25 years plus in maximum no money when he’s out and no career so chances are hell go back for a 3rd time when released in 30 years. I’d give 30 plus for that’s what he wants
He and Young Thug going back. Even worse Pooh’s dad is involved this is just stupidity all over. Gucci looks like bitch too. Meanwhile Tekashi gets out on the 6th bro going to be doing podcasts all over.
You know that’s funny Young Thug was signed to Gucci too. Rats flock together 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gucci a rat and Pooh is stupid.
When you have a dumbass dad too it doesn’t help when he encourages this. All that talk about black fathers look this idiot had his dad in his life look where they both are. Durk also grew up with his dealer dad now he locked up too. YoungBoy and Chief Keef the only 2 smart ones they left the hood and made money. YoungBoy got a harem and nothing to complain about in his Utah mansion.
Well stupid dad leads to stupid son. Gucci is just a clown. Waka Flocka’s mom had a good influence on him, he took legal action against Gucci and got the trademark to Brick Squad.
Honestly I’m surprised he came back with a big song now he is done. Gucci looks bad too any respect he had is gone now.
Lucky him. I wish I was in prison with all those hard men. All I need is that and some Drake in my life and it’s all I would need.
And Gucci a rat for the feds. Pooh did what he said he would got payback from the con man.
Gucci a rat confirmed it been clear since the Brick Squad days all of them picked up on it. Waka and OJ saw it then he doesn’t pay them. Then he takes his Kamala Harris money to shill the democrats.
What i think is that Gucci was robbed in a public place, if so, it doesn’t equate to snitching. Pooh made a terrible decision, just like a lot of the lost cat’s out here “following the code” WTF is a code? I mean, does it truly sit well with you, or do you believe you are a product of a nasty environment that you don’t have the courage to step away from? Either way, it’s fucked up!
When you build your rep on being a street guy its ratting bro. That’s the audience he built so now he gets clowned too. Are you a K bot? The same ones who defend him being a hypocrite calling Drake names but signed to Dre and then worked with Carti. It’s the same thing don’t preach one thing or pretend to be such thing and do the opposite.
Bro read the situation his dad was involved too. The music they make is street shit. Also Gucci is a rat he will get clowned don’t go talking street shit pretending to be that guy then run to the feds. He is so fake all these fake street guys getting exposed, Gucci I forgot how soft he was. Also turns out Pooh’s dad a rat too he took a plea deal in 2009. This is one big comedy to be laughed at all parties should be clowned! Pooh is stupid for just getting out then doing this even more dumb his dad helps. My guess he felt Gucci would stay quiet because he doesn’t want to hurt his image that was wrong.
How did anyone think big belly Gucci was a street guy? Ice cream face tattoo he always gave off fed energy. He could barley breathe or speak back then.
What code? Pooh did what he said and Gucci did the opposite. Next time don’t sign a guy that raps about getting payback in blood. This ain’t the first time it happened look back Eazy-E and Suge Knight for Dre’s contract no one ratted also Suge confirms no one got violent.
Gucci was probably robbing him. Gucci has stiffed his artists always and those guys were nice they sued but Pooh ain’t that he got payback in blood. Gucci is a rat he tried to profit from Memphis without giving. Memphis don’t play that😤
“I don’t believe in telling cops” -Gucci Mane
He’s a fed its been said long ago. The old Gucci gone this is a new guy it’s Hopsin.
Trump should do them all a favor and pardon them along with Kay Flock, Diddy, Melly, Durk, Sean Kingston, Chauvin, RKelly, Tory, Detail, Lil Baby, and Boosie. Seemed to me Durk was closer to Pooh than Gucci, Guwop better be scared.
Ignore Anonymous. He’s just a stupid gay Drake fanboy who can’t see past the balls of his idol. ⏸️
Gucci is a fed been so! Confirms rumors that Pooh left 1017 and I’m guessing signed with Gotti’s CMG. Hopsin is Gucci it’s clear that was never the real Gucci.
I need confirmation. Honestly it would have been such a smart move for Pooh and Gotti if this didn’t happen. I mean Gotti still got EST Gee and his cash cow Glorilla.
Jeezy would never. He would stand his ground unlike this snitch
Y’all fucking retarded. Y’all saying that if someone did the exact same thing to you that you wouldn’t snitch. I call bullshit ok on all y’all. Besides why would Gucci Mane (who has been living legit since his prison release) do something to jeopardize his long term career and freedom over this? If he was the only one that got hurt I’d understand but when a group of people are involved and Pooh’s ankle monitor placed him at the scene then there was no choice but to say something. What do you expect Gucci to do, lie to the police so he can get sent back to prison too. That hustling backwards.
The denial is crazy. It’s now confirmed Gucci helped identify Pooh to the feds and his people 🤣😂🤣
You can’t make this up. He messed with the wrong ones. All his other artists sued this guy actually practiced what he preached.
Gucci Mane need to be memed into oblivion he is a Uncle Tom in the modern day play gangster then rat. Pooh was under a bad contract with him don’t play these street dudes this is what happens. It wad deserved on Gucci.
