Pooh Shiesty remains in custody as he continues to pursue bail in a federal case that prosecutors say involves an alleged kidnapping and robbery tied to Gucci Mane. A recent filing reported by Complex outlines the government’s push to keep him detained ahead of trial. It also revisits claims tied to a Dallas recording studio earlier this year. Prosecutors say the record now includes disputed footage involving both artists. In addition, it includes a contract they allege was central to the confrontation.
Shiesty is charged alongside his father, Lontrell Williams Sr., Memphis rapper Big30, and several additional co-defendants. At the center of the dispute is a contract prosecutors describe as heavily one-sided. They allege it was designed to alter Shiesty’s relationship with Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records. They argue the document would have allowed him to exit the label immediately. It also would have erased existing obligations and claimed ownership over masters and intellectual property rights. Gucci Mane, according to the filings, objected most strongly to those terms.
Gucci Mane Allegedly Forced to Sign Deal
The filing further claims the agreement shifted key approval power over Atlantic Records dealings into Shiesty’s “sole discretion,” giving him control over outside negotiations. Prosecutors allege the document was prepared shortly before the incident. Furthermore, they say Gucci Mane was pressured to sign it during the encounter at gunpoint. They also say Shiesty directed Big30 to record parts of the episode. This adds another layer to the government’s account.
Screenshots included in the filing reportedly show a firearm present while individuals stand near Gucci Mane, whose legal name, Radric Davis, appears partially obscured in court exhibits. Aside from Gucci Mane’s track “Crash Dummy” and limited public commentary from Shiesty, neither side has directly addressed the latest allegations in detail. With trial proceedings scheduled for February, the case is expected to expand. This is as additional evidence is reviewed in court.
