Pooh Shiesty is trying to secure his bail in the Gucci Mane kidnapping and robbery case, but federal prosecutors do not want him free. According to Complex, a new court motion argues against his exit from prison before trial and provides more details about what allegedly went down at a Dallas studio earlier this year.
This includes alleged footage of Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane, as well as the terms of the supposed contract the former allegedly forced the latter to sign. Shiesty faces these accusations alongside his father Lontrell Williams Sr., fellow Memphis rapper Big30, and six other codefendants.
As for the alleged contract, it reportedly stipulated permission for Pooh to immediately terminate his contract with Guwop's 1017 Records. In addition, it reportedly indicated the omission of all obligations under the deal and his ownership of masters and intellectual property. That's reportedly among what Gucci felt the most uneasy about giving up.
Also, the alleged contract reportedly transferred 1017's approval rights with Atlantic Records directly to Shiesty and his "sole discretion" for the purposes of negotiating deals with other labels. Prosecutors reportedly claimed the perpetrators printed the contract hours before the alleged robbery and forced Guwop to sign it at gunpoint with the expectation of holding up in court.
Gucci Mane & Pooh Shiesty Footage
Elsewhere, prosecutors' accusations also include claims that Pooh Shiesty asked Big30 to record the Gucci Mane robbery. Federal authorities reportedly shared screenshots of an alleged video of the alleged crime, which shows one of the codefendants brandishing a firearm and the two former 1017 label mates standing next to each other. Beyond Gucci's "Crash Dummy" diss track and some cryptic social media activity from Pooh, neither former label mate has really spoken on this complex situation.
We will see if more footage from the alleged robbery ends up entering the trial as court evidence when it begins next February. Also, we could get more details about this supposed contract and its legal standing, if any.
This continues to grow as one of the most shocking hip-hop stories of 2026. A contractual dispute has now allegedly become a very divisive conflict.
