Pooh Shiesty Denied Bond Again in Gucci Mane Robbery Case

Pooh Shiesty, facing charges of kidnapping and robbery, has had his final attempt to be released on bond denied. Judge David C. Godbey rejected the rapper's request for release to home confinement, upholding the decision to keep him detained until trial. Shiesty's legal team had put forth stringent conditions, such as regular drug tests, severe travel restrictions, and a 24-hour GPS monitor, to ensure his appearance in court.

Despite Shiesty remaining in detention, several individuals connected to the case have secured their release. Rapper Big30 was freed on June 4 after prosecutors' arguments of flight risk were dismissed. Shiesty's father, Lontrell Williams Sr., also obtained a bond and was released in May. Kedarius Waters, identified as Shiesty's alleged right-hand man, is also out on bond.

The accusations stem from an alleged incident on January 10 at a Dallas recording studio. Prosecutors claim Pooh Shiesty orchestrated a meeting with Gucci Mane under the guise of contract negotiations. When contract release was not granted, Shiesty allegedly brandished an AK-style pistol and forced Gucci Mane to sign release paperwork at gunpoint. It is also alleged that Shiesty, accompanied by eight others including his father and Big30, stole Gucci Mane's wedding ring, watch, earrings, and cash.

Pooh Shiesty's trial is officially scheduled to commence on February 22, 2027.
