Big30 comments on the allegations against him and Pooh Shiesty.

Just when Pooh Shiesty was gearing up for his comeback, he got locked up again. The rapper, alongside Big30, his father, and several others, is accused of robbing Gucci Mane at gunpoint. Video later surfaced of Wop inside of a studio as someone with what appears to be a firearm stood by the door. Prosecutors claim that Pooh Shiesty and co. wanted to strong-arm Gucci Mane out of his record deal.

But, according to Big30, that couldn’t be further from the truth. During a sit-down with Big Bank, Big30 felt that he would be found innocent after all is said and done.

“I feel like it’s gonna turn out good,” he declared about the trial. “We innocent. What they said we did, we didn’t do. Give a f*ck how they look at it. Nah, what they said we did in that paperwork, we didn’t do. It didn’t happen. I ain’t do that. Like, you can’t make me say that. You’re going to have to prove to me I did that. Give a f*ck what they said or what you saw. I feel good about my situation.”

Big30 Discusses Gucci Mane Case

Big30 ultimately blamed the media for making things “look worse than it is.” He ultimately pointed toward the Lil Durk case as an example of the blogs and social media pages making their situations worse, especially as new information surfaces. He argued that these pages are also taking people away from their family, only to gain a couple of views. 

“Yeah, n***as be trying to be internet lawyers and police,” he said. “At least say, ‘I hope it go well for them’ or something like that, instead of bringing a Black man down.”

Big30 also explained that the narratives are unfounded a lot of the time, like when he got bond, and people immediately began accusing him of cooperating. “They go with the bad narrative every time,” he said. Check the clip above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.
