Pooh Shiesty, Gucci Mane Robbery: 9 Charged in Armed Takeover

It's April 2nd.

This is entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI, what everyone's talking about.

Nine people, including rapper Poo Shiesti, face federal charges for allegedly kidnapping

and robbing Gucci Mane and others at gunpoint in Adalus, music studio.

This went down on January 10th during what was supposed to be a business meeting.

Eight of them, led by Poo Shiesti, whose real name is Lawn Trail Williams Jr., got arrested

the day before officials announced the charges.

Poo Shiesti set up the meeting to talk about his recording contract with Gucci Mane's

label, 1017 Records, where he signed as a 26-year-old artist.

Gucci Mane, whose 46, owns the label and was one of the main targets inside the studio.

The crew pulled off an armed takeover, with Poo Shiesti pulling an AK-style pistol to

force a victim to sign a contract release.

One person got choked until almost passing out, turning a simple talk into street violence.

Several defendants came from Memphis, including Lawn Trail Williams Sr., Poo Shiesti's dad.

Officials say they use guns and threats instead of handling business like adults.

If convicted, all nine could get life in prison.

Reps for both artists haven't commented yet, but this shakes up the rap game big time.
