Gucci Mane Seemingly Disses Pooh Shiesty While Addressing Robbery & Kidnapping On ‘crash Dummy’: listen

Gucci Mane appeared to address the robbery and kidnapping case involving him against Pooh Shiesty, while also dissing his 1017 Records signee on “Crash Dummy,” which arrived on Friday (April 10).

“And after all that, boy, you still signed to me/ I’m like Birdman and, n—a, this my Cash Money/ And your fat ass flunkie, he a stone cold junkie,” Guwop raps over Zaytoven’s production.

“I thought it was a business meeting, but it was a setup/ I walk in the room, you can feel the pressure building/ N—a dapped me up, the whole time they plotting against me,” he continues.

Gucci then references Suge Knight’s alleged violent negotiation tactics when running Death Row Records in the ’90s and was attempting to bring Dr. Dre over from Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records, which was a scene in 2015’s Straight Outta Compton.

“You learn from your daddy, so I guess that it’s hereditary/ I’m that same nigga that put money on your commissary/ A n—a set up the play, like Suge Knight did with Dre/ But I ain’t Eazy-E, n—a, and this ain’t back in the day,” Gucci raps. The East Atlanta legend takes a shot at Shiesty’s father and claims Gucci himself put money on Pooh’s commissary when the “Back in Blood” rapper was locked up for over three years.

Billboard has reached out to Pooh Shiesty for comment.

Pooh Shiesty (born Lontrell Williams Jr.) and seven others were arrested on robbery and kidnapping charges by federal agents April 1 after allegedly trying to execute an “armed takeover” of Gucci Mane and two others at a Dallas studio meet-up on Jan. 10, while forcing Gucci at gunpoint to release Shiesty from his recording contract, according to the complaint. Shiesty is signed to 1017 in partnership with Atlantic Records.

U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould said during a press conference April 2 that Gucci thought he was walking into a “business meeting” with Shiesty and his crew, which included Shiesty’s father and Big30.

Raybould added that Pooh Shiesty allegedly held Gucci Mane at gunpoint with an AK-style firearm while signing his release from 1017 Records. The complaint also claims Shiesty’s co-conspirators of blocking the door so Gucci and his two associates couldn’t leave; Raybould also said that the co-conspirators robbed the victims them of jewelry and other expensive items, while the complaint adds the accused allegedly later flexed the items on social media.

Shiesty was denied bond on Wednesday (April 8) during a hearing in Texas federal court, with the judge citing the evidence for her decision.

“Based on the credible evidence presented at the hearing, the court finds probable cause to believe that defendant committed the law violations alleged in the criminal complaint,” wrote U.S. Magistrate Judge Renée Harris Toliver in a detention order obtained by Billboard. Shiesty faces up to life in prison if convicted.

Pooh Shiesty was on home confinement during the alleged January altercation after being released from prison in October; he served more than three years behind bars on firearm conspiracy charges. Upon regaining his freedom, the Memphis rapper’s “FDO” topped Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts.
