Gucci Mane was allegedly kidnapped and robbed during a “coordinated armed takeover” of a Dallas music studio where fellow rapper Pooh Shiesty allegedly brandished an AK-style pistol and forced the rap mogul to sign a document releasing Shiesty from his recording contract, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
In a criminal complaint filed in Dallas federal court and obtained by Rolling Stone, prosecutors allege Sheisty, born Lontrell Williams Jr., “was upset with the terms of his [recording] contract” and set up a meeting with Mane, whose legal name is Radric Davis, to discuss the matter. The complaint identifies Mane by his initials, R.D., and describes him as the head of 1017, the label that signed Williams in 2021.
During the afternoon meeting on Jan. 10, 2026, Williams and eight men who traveled with him from Memphis allegedly flashed guns and robbed victims of Rolex watches, jewelry, cash, a Louis Vuitton bag, and a wallet fitted with an Apple AirTag, prosecutors said. One co-defendant, Memphis rapper Big30, allegedly fetched the bag with the AK-style pistol at Williams’ command, then pulled out a phone and recorded Davis as he signed paperwork “releasing” Williams from his contract.

“Proof we live in parallel universes.”
more likely Cern opened a hole in the bottomless pit and some of the formerly entrapped daemons escaped, or perhaps our reality was somehow changed.
Every once in a while when they spin it up I try to call Art Bell on what was his International line and hope he can somehow pick up from wherever he is.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
“Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long, long time.”
We need more rap threads on FR.
Idiocracy is here.
I’m not familiar with the names Gucci Mane or Pooh Shiesty. I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that they are not opera singers.
Gonna need a scorecard on this one.
He was assured either his signature or brains would be on the contract.
Gucci was easy to pick out because everybody know him, everybody know him, he’s a real OG.
I must be getting old. I read the headline and thought I was having a stroke.🤣
...and you tell that brother if he tries any rough stuff, I ain't no rap mogul. Yeah, I heard that story.
At first I thought I was reading a children’s story.
A shiesty trick
I love Gucci Mane. Great rapper. I asked my son if this was kayfabe and he referred to it as “Some ignoant azz s***”. I retorted there was a very thin line between the two.
“Yo Gucci, I want you to sign this and to prove it is legal, I’m going to film you with a gun pointed at you”.
The whole crew are just pure, straight-up ghetto-rats. Money hasn’t changed them one bit.
