Charlamagne Tha God doubts Pooh Shiesty would rob a white executive

Charlamagne Tha God shared that he does not think Pooh Shiesty would have robbed a white music executive if he had been stuck in a bad contract with another label. He brought up this idea after authorities arrested the rapper earlier this year for allegedly robbing Gucci Mane at gunpoint and trying to force his release from 1017 Records.

“I think, at some point, f*ck the street code,” Charlamagne Tha God said during an episode of his Brilliant Idiots podcast with Andrew Schulz. “These guys are businessmen, man. Here's the thing: This is all alleged. I don't know if Pooh Shiesty did any of this. I'm just going off the stories I heard. I know that Pooh Shiesty wouldn't do that to a white man. Whenever you hear these stories, it's literally always the Black executives getting put in this position by Black artists.”

Pooh Shiesty's Arrest

Police first took Pooh Shiesty into custody for his alleged involvement in the kidnapping and robbery of Gucci Mane earlier this month. According to investigators, he planned what they described as a coordinated takeover of a Dallas recording studio on January 10, 2026, with the goal of pressuring Gucci to release him from his deal with 1017 Records. His father, Big30, along with six others, are also facing charges tied to the case.

Last week, a judge turned down Pooh Shiesty’s request to be released on bond. His attorney, Bradford Cohen, spoke to reporters following the hearing and pushed back on the claims. “What we didn't hear today was that there is no contract, this mystery contract, they have no contract. They have no video of this alleged signing of a contract. They have no guns, no jewelry, they have none of that physical evidence,” he said. “What they have is allegedly five individuals, one of them being a very well known individual, that is allegedly cooperating with the government and making these allegations...” Shiesty will remain in custody as he waits for trial.
