Gucci Mane has released a Pooh Shiesty diss track titled "CRASH DUMMY" after the Memphis rapper allegedly robbed his label CEO at gunpoint back in January. "I don't take it personal, for me it's only business," Gucci drawls over a Zaytoven instrumental. Later in the song's lone verse he raps, "You play stupid games then you win stupid prizes." Listen to the full song above.
Last week, the Department of Justice announced they had arrested Pooh Shiesty, Big30, and six accomplices for allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane and two associates in Dallas. One of the co-conspirators named was Shiesty's father, Lontrell Williams, Sr. The DOJ says Shiesty held the 1017 CEO at gunpoint with an AK-style pistol and forced Gucci to sign paperwork releasing Shiesty from his record contract with the label.
As you might expect, Shiesty is the diss track's titular "CRASH DUMMY," while Gucci calls Big30 a "fat ass flunky" and "stone cold junkie (Junkie!)." Gucci also compares himself to Birdman, saying, "after all that, boy you still signed to me (Wow)."
Gucci also offers an abridged version of the alleged stickup on "CRASH DUMMY," saying in part, "I thought it was a business meeting, but it was a set up / I walk in the room, you can feel the pressure building / N***a dapped me up, the whole time they plotting against me."
Later on the song, Gucci raps:
"You learned from your daddy so I guess that it's hereditary /
I'm that same n***a that put money on your commissary.
A n***a set up the play, like Suge Knight did with Dre,
But I ain't Eazy-E, n***a, and this ain't back in the day.
This 1017 the label, I built this shit from the ground,
And I'll be damned if I let a n***a take my shit down (Nah) /
Pressure on my chest, but I still ain't pressed (Pressed) /
Pen to the paper, but it's under duress (Wow)."
The reaction to "CRASH DUMMY" has been mixed, mainly over online arguments about whether Gucci Mane "snitched" on Pooh Shiesty. "This the hardest witness statement out right now 🔥" reads the top YouTube comment under the "CRASH DUMMY" video. According to Dallas local news station WFAA, the initial DOJ complaint cited multiple forms of evidence but made no mention of witness statements.
Per WFAA, that initial evidence included location data from Shiesty's electronic probation monitor, cell phone and rental car records, latent fingerprints, surveillance footage, and social media posts with the allegedly stolen property.
On Wednesday afternoon, a judge ruled that Shiesty would remain in custody while under investigation. Shiesty's lawyers called it a, "he said, he said type of case," while prosecutors claimed Shiesty was a "flight risk" who "didn't even have permission to be in Dallas," WFAA reports.
If convicted, Shiesty and co. each face a potential life sentence.
