Gucci Mane was allegedly held captive during a harrowing experience.
Nine individuals have been charged after allegedly kidnapping and robbing three victims at gunpoint at a music studio in Dallas in January, according to the Department of Justice.
One alleged victim was musician Gucci Mane (real name Radric Davis), according to a federal criminal complaint obtained by CBS News.
“As alleged, nine defendants travelled to Dallas, Texas, to kidnap and rob victims who thought they were coming into town for a business meeting,” U.S. attorney Ryan Raybould said in an April 2 statement. “Instead of discussing business in a civil matter, the defendants resorted to violence and intimidation to achieve their purported business objectives.”
During the alleged Jan. 10 incident, the alleged perpetrators, including rappers Pooh Shiesty (real name Lontrell Williams Jr.) and Big30 (Rodney Wright Jr.), executed “a coordinated armed takeover” of a purported business meeting to discuss a recording contract, according to the Department of Justice. Shiesty then allegedly “forced one of the victims to sign a release from the recording contract at gunpoint,” per the DOJ.
