Viral video footage shows jailed rapper Pooh Shiesty and his gang holding rapper Gucci Mane at gunpoint in a Texas recording studio.
The video shows Gucci Mane pacing while at least one man holds a semi-automatic rifle. A man with Shiesty pressures Gucci to say the aspiring rapper is dropped from his 1017 Records label.
“It’s a done deal, it’s a done deal,” a nervous Gucci said.
“Let them know you dropped the ni**a,” said the unidentified man. “I dropped him,” Gucci Mane said. “Pooh Shiesty dropped from 1017.”
Pooh Shiesty then orders Gucci Mane to “Tell them what’s going on.”
“It’s done… You dropped,” Gucci said.
Shiesty, real name Lontrell Williams Jr, and his father, Lontrell Williams Sr., were arrested on April 1, 2026.
Williams Sr. was taken into custody following a raid at his home in Memphis, while Shiesty was arrested in Dallas, Texas. Seven other suspects were arrested over the next month. All were charged with armed robbery and kidnapping.
Shiesty is being held without bond at the Kaufman County jail in Longview, Texas. His trial is postponed until February 2027.
