Pooh Shiesty Arrested for Allegedly Kidnapping Gucci Mane

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the Memphis rapper is at the center of a shocking case involving alleged kidnapping, armed robbery, and a calculated setup inside a Dallas recording studio. Officials claim Shiesty, along with fellow rapper Big30 and several others, orchestrated an “armed takeover” during what was supposed to be a business meeting.

Federal documents allege the incident went down on January 10, when Shiesty reportedly invited multiple music industry figures to a Dallas studio under the guise of discussing contractual matters. Instead, prosecutors say the meeting turned violent — with victims allegedly held at gunpoint, robbed of luxury items like Rolex watches, jewelry, and cash, and even forced to sign paperwork releasing Shiesty from a recording contract.

The contract in question reportedly ties back to his previous affiliation with Gucci Mane’s 1017 label — adding another layer of drama to the situation.

Authorities say eight out of nine suspects tied to the case have already been arrested across Memphis, Nashville, and Dallas. Shiesty himself was taken into custody by the FBI, while his Memphis home was also raided. In a surprising twist, his father was reportedly arrested as well.

Federal officials claim some of the suspects even posted photos online flaunting items believed to have been taken during the alleged robbery — evidence that could play a key role in the case moving forward.

If convicted, this could be a devastating setback for Shiesty, who was only recently released from federal prison just six months ago. Now, he’s facing the possibility of going right back — and this time, the stakes are even higher.

As the case unfolds, fans and the hip-hop community are watching closely to see how this situation plays out — because this isn’t just industry drama… it’s federal business.
