"Drama Unfolds: Big30 & Pooh Shiesty’s Dad Takes the Stand—Is Gucci Mane the Unexpected Victim in This Wild Kidnapping Saga?"

Added on May 4, 2026 inFree Entertainment News

In October, the world of hip-hop experienced a cosmic shake-up when Pooh Shiesty emerged from behind bars, much to the delight of his devoted fans. Talk about a plot twist! Just as the stars aligned for his grand return, the anticipation was palpable, especially after his explosive track “FDO” racked up a jaw-dropping 61 million views on YouTube. But hold your horses—this glittering comeback was shadowed by the gossipy whispers of a shocking accusation: an alleged kidnapping involving none other than Gucci Mane himself. Isn’t it amusing how one’s rise can be just as spectacular as their fall? And just like that, the drama spiraled into a whirlwind of federal charges and courtroom battles, leaving us all wondering: can the universe really handle this much scandal at once? With Big30 and Pooh Shiesty’s dad pleading not guilty, the plot thickens. Buckle up, folks, because this ride through the chaos of fame, fortune, and fiasco is only just beginning!

Back in October, Pooh Shiesty was officially released from prison in what was a momentous occasion for the world of hip-hop. The artist had become a massive sensation prior to his incarceration, and fans were eager to hear from him.

His “FDO” track was a massive success upon release, and it currently has 61 million views on YouTube. Unfortunately, not long after his release, there were rumblings that he had allegedly robbed and kidnapped Gucci Mane. At first, these were just rumors. However, in April, the Department of Justice officially accused Pooh Shiesty, his father, rapper Big30, and six others of holding Gucci Mane captive at a music studio in Dallas.

Charges were eventually filed against the nine individuals, and now, Pooh Shiesty is in limbo. The six other individuals are Kedarius Waters, Terrance Rodgers, Damarian Gipson, Demarcus Glover, Kordae Johnson, and Darrion McDaniel. He was even dissed by Gucci Mane on the recent track, “Crash Dummy.”

According to Action News 5 in Memphis, Tennessee, Big30 and Lontrell Williams, Pooh Shiesty’s father, have officially pleaded not guilty to the charges against them. This plea was to be expected given everything we have seen from the case thus far.

This is a case that has certainly garnered quite a bit of attention throughout the hip-hop world and rightfully so. Gucci Mane remains one of the biggest Atlanta artists of all-time. He is respected by his peers, and this entire story has come as a shock to many.
