With Big30 set to go on trial alongside Pooh Shiesty for the alleged kidnapping and robbery of Gucci Mane, the artist is still showing love.

Big30 and BenDaDonnn found themselves at a high school in Memphis, Tennessee recently, and their presence has led to some viral clips online. For those who may not know, BenDaDonnn attended the very same high school when he was a teenager.

Throughout the stream, BenDaDonnn could be seen reminiscing about his time at the school. It made for a nice moment, especially as there was a gym full of adoring students looking to welcome him back. The streamer then went on to give a speech, telling the kids that they need to focus on their future. He also told them to believe in themselves and their dreams.

Eventually, Big30 popped out and performed Pooh Shiesty's big hit, "FDO." The students were enjoying the performance quite a bit, and even rushed the gym floor as if it were a moshpit. Big30 and BenDaDonnn chanted for Pooh Shiesty's freedom, with some of the students joining in on the fun.

Big30 Advocates For Pooh Shiesty's Freedom

If you remember, just a few months ago, Big30 and Pooh Shiesty were arrested for allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane. Seven others were arrested alongside them, and now, they are awaiting trial.

Big30 was actually granted pretrial release and is allowed to do these kinds of visits in the meantime. In fact, he is also allowed to record new music. Pooh Shiesty motioned for a similar pretrial release, but was ultimately denied.

Everyone in the case has pleaded not guilty to the charges. A trial is set to go down on February 22, 2027. Given the parties involved, this could very well be the biggest hip-hop-related story of 2027. It's already proven to be one of the biggest of 2026.
