DALLAS — Atlanta rap superstar Gucci Mane was one of three people kidnapped and robbed at a music studio in Dallas, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
Ryan Raybould, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, said in a news conference that eight of the nine suspects have been arrested in Dallas, Memphis in Nashville.
The suspects include rappers Pooh Shiesty and Big30.
On Jan. 10, Gucci Mane, real name Radric Davis, traveled with two others to a business meeting at the studio arranged by Pooh Shiesty, real name Lontrell Williams Jr.
Described as a coordinated “armed takeover,” Williams is accused of pulling out an AK-style pistol and forced one of the victims to sign a release of a recording contract at gunpoint, the U.S. attorney said.
Davis and other other men were then robbed of cash, Rolex watches and other jewelry.
Pooh Shiesty was signed to Gucci Mane’s label, 1017 Records.
