Overview
- Gucci Mane released “Crash Dummy” Friday, a diss track that appears to address Pooh Shiesty and references an alleged studio setup that investigators say happened in Dallas.
- Pooh Shiesty, whose legal name is Lontrell Williams Jr., remains jailed after Wednesday’s detention hearing where a magistrate judge found probable cause and cited a prior weapons conviction and unauthorized travel to Dallas in denying bond.
- Prosecutors allege nine people carried out a Jan. 10 studio takeover to force a contract release, and the kidnapping and armed-robbery charges carry potential life sentences if convicted.
- Testimony showed investigators leaned on statements from Gucci Mane and his team to build the complaint, a point the defense attacked by noting there is no contract, video, guns, or jewelry in the government’s physical evidence so far.
- Co-defendant Big30 saw a $100,000 bond granted then stayed at prosecutors’ request, and Williams’ father initially won release before prosecutors moved to revoke it as the case advances with no trial date set.
