Pooh Shiesty, whose real name is Lontrell Williams Jr., is scheduled for trial on February 22, 2027, in a serious criminal case involving allegations of kidnapping and extortion against fellow rapper Gucci Mane. The charges stem from an incident in January at a Dallas recording studio where Shiesty and eight alleged co-conspirators reportedly threatened Gucci Mane at gunpoint, forcing him to sign a release from his record deal with 1017 Records. The group is also accused of stealing valuable items during the incident. While all defendants have pleaded not guilty, Shiesty's attorney expressed confidence in a favorable outcome, stating they have not seen evidence that would lead to a conviction. A judge previously denied Shiesty's bail request, citing concerns about his trustworthiness, especially since the alleged kidnapping occurred while he was under house arrest for prior gun charges. Some co-defendants have been released on bail as preparations for the trial continue.
