Yo Gotti’s lawyer Arthur Horne III, (NeNe Leakes’ rumored boyfriend) is representing Rodney Wright Jr, aka Big30, in Pooh Shiesty’s armed robbery case.
The Memphis drill rapper is among 9 people charged in the high-profile armed robbery and kidnapping case involving rapper Gucci Mane.
The feds arrested Shiesty (right) and his father Lontrell Williams Sr (left), along with six others, including Big30, on Wednesday.
A ninth suspect, Terrence Rodgers, remains at large.
Shiesty was on federal home confinement in Dallas at the time of his arrest.
In a livestream video on Friday, attorney Arthur Horne III asked people not to pass judgment on Big30 until all the facts come out.
“He doesn’t have a criminal history. He doesn’t have a criminal record,” Horne said of his client. He’s been making music for a number of years. He and Pooh Shiesty kind of came up in the music game together and they were sort of like – they’re very close and they made, you know, some magical music.”
He added, “I just hope that people will wait to pass judgment on Rodney and these other individuals until all the facts come out.”

In February, TMZ obtained video of NeNe Leakes locking lips with Arthur at a Memphis Grizzlies game in Tennessee.

NeNe later denied dating Arthur. She claimed the kiss was nothing more than a “peck” on the cheek during a boozy night out.
She suggested the video clip was misinterpreted by bloggers for clicks and views.
According to the Department of Justice, Shiesty and Big30 robbed Gucci Mane and 2 others at gunpoint outside a Dallas recording studio on Jan. 10, 2026.
The defendants allegedly barricaded a studio door to prevent the victims from escaping. The victims were robbed of Rolex watches, jewelry, cash, Gucci Mane’s wedding ring and other valuables. One victim was choked to the point of near unconsciousness.
