# Gucci Mane kidnapping case – trial delay, new evidence > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/gucci-mane-robberykidnapping-case > Updated: 2026-08-07T22:59:10.000Z. Sources: 33. Developments: 14. After the July 21 denial of a second pre‑trial release request, the case has continued to evolve. In early May both Memphis rapper Big30 (Rodney Wright Jr.) and Pooh Shiesty’s father, Lontrell Williams Sr., entered not‑guilty pleas to the kidnapping and robbery charges. A federal trial was initially set for July 6, 2026, but a judge later postponed it, first to January 11, 2027 and then to February 22, 2027, citing the case’s complexity. The defense has sought bond modifications for Williams Sr., who wishes to travel to manage Memphis properties, and filed a bail‑motion after the delay. Prosecutors have repeatedly presented new evidence. In late June they submitted surveillance stills and photographs from the January 10 incident, and added a 25‑page filing alleging that Shiesty instructed Big30 to record the robbery. On July 1 video footage surfaced showing Shiesty pointing an AK‑style pistol at Gucci Mane and forcing him to sign a contract release, with the robbery valued at roughly $450,000. The same month court documents reiterated allegations that Shiesty paid $5,000 to co‑defendant Terrance Rodgers and two others. Big30 publicly denied snitching rumors, and Shiesty’s father’s request to manage his properties while on home confinement was denied. Despite the legal battles, Shiesty released a new album, “All Eyes On Shiest,” in August while remaining in federal custody awaiting the February 2027 trial. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-07: Pooh Shiesty Releases New Album “All Eyes On Shiest” Pooh Shiesty drops his new album All Eyes On Shiest while jailed over a kidnapping‑robbery case involving Gucci Mane;
