Pooh Shiesty and his codefendants face robbery and kidnapping charges tied to an alleged situation with Gucci Mane. One of these codefendants, Big30, took to his Instagram recently to share a message of support for Shiesty amid his reported struggles and restrictions behind bars, as caught by No Jumper on Twitter.
"As we fight this case together we still got all the club venues and arenas going crazy," he wrote. "I'm on house arrest you in a cell they going crazy like we present... NEVER GIVE UP ON US WE GOD FAVORITE."
Big30 performed Pooh Shiesty's "FDO" for high school students a month and a half ago, so he has been able to witness fans' support firsthand. For those unaware, the Memphis rapper is currently on house arrest with various restrictions, although he has still been able to engage in activities like that event.
As for the other Memphis MC's issues, Pooh's legal team claims authorities are unlawfully keeping him in his jail cell for 23 hours a day. He's also allegedly not getting his minimum visitation hours per month, which is affecting his mental health.
When Is Pooh Shiesty's Trial?
For those unaware, Pooh Shiesty and Big30's Gucci Mane case also involves Shiesty's father and six other codefendants. Federal authorities accused them of holding Guwop in a Dallas studio, extorting him, and robbing him of personal items in order to sign Shiesty out of his contract with 1017 Records.
If everything goes according to the current schedule, the trial on these robbery and kidnapping charges will begin in February of 2027. The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges against them, and there's been a lot of drama in the hip-hop world over this case, snitching allegations and more.
While Big30 is free, Pooh Shiesty was denied bond. This also continues to cause controversy, especially with the aforementioned allegations from Pooh's legal team.
We will see what other developments emerge ahead of trial and how these issues of incarceration and pre-trial freedom continue to develop. Big30 and fans of these artists continue to show their support, whether it's online or by enjoying their music in public settings.
