Pooh Shiesty's father, Lontrell Williams Sr., was recently arrested in connection with the alleged kidnapping and robbery of Gucci Mane.

Earlier this month, Pooh Shiesty and multiple others were arrested in connection with the alleged kidnapping and robbery of Gucci Mane. They're accused of carrying out an "armed takeover" of a recording studio in an effort to get out of a 1017 contract. The Memphis rapper's father, Lontrell Williams Sr., was among those taken into custody.

Shortly after, Williams Sr. was granted a $250K bond with a $25K cash deposit. Prosecutors, however, were quick to push back. They recently moved to have his bond revoked, alleging that he could be a flight risk. This week, Williams submitted a brief arguing why he believes he should be granted bond, per Complex.

According to him, the government is unable to provide “clear and convincing evidence" that proves it's necessary to keep him in jail. In his brief, he also points out the fact that Magistrate Judge Annie T. Christoff ruled in favor of his release while taking his "history and characteristics" into consideration.

As for Gucci Mane, several former fans have turned on him since Pooh Shiesty's arrest, with many labeling him an alleged snitch. He released a song called "Crash Dummy" amid his peers' legal drama, in which he references the alleged kidnapping.

"Tell the truth, you went out like a real crash dummy, and after all that, boy, you still signed to me," he raps. "I walk in the room, you can feel the pressure building / N***a dapped me up there, whole time they plotting against me."

The track earned reactions from Uncle Murda, Boosie Badazz, 50 Cent, Ralo, and many more. 6ix9ine even hopped online to weigh in amid the chatter.

"WHY YOU ALWAYS GOT TO SAY SOMETHING???" he captioned a fiery Instagram post. "IM THE ONLYYYYYYY PERSON THAT CAN SPEA ON THIS EVERYYYYYTIMMMMMME. YALL BLACKBALLED ME AND TRY TO TAKE FOOD FROM MY FAMILYS MOUTH WHEN YALL KNEW ALL THE FACTSSS!!!"
