The incident stemmed from a contract dispute. As per the statement by the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, Lontrell Williams Jr. arranged a meeting to discuss the terms of his recording contract with Gucci Mane.Pooh Shiesty had travelled from Memphis to Dallas along with eight other people, including fellow rapper Big 30. As per the complaint, Pooh held Gucci Mane, who was at the recording studio with two other men, at gunpoint to make him sign a release from his recording contract. The remaining suspects drew firearms and stole other victims’ valuables, including Rolex watches, jewelry, cash, and other expensive items.Wright, or Big 30, blocked the studio door with his body to prevent the victims from leaving. Prosecutors, as per ABC News, mentioned that the defendants’ movements were tracked by surveillance video, rental car receipts, license plate readers, and cell phone records. As per the prosecutors, following the January 2026 robbery, the defendants traveled to an apartment complex in Frisco, which is believed to be Shiesty and his father’s residence.US Attorney Ryan Raybould mentioned that things look difficult for Shiesty since he committed the offense “while on home confinement.”Following the court battle, if the nine defendants are convicted as charged, each of them would potentially face a maximum sentence of life in federal prison. Attorneys for Shiesty, Gucci Mane, and others are yet to comment on the matter.
