One week after he was allegedly kidnapped<\/a>, held at gunpoint, and robbed by his 1017 label artist Pooh Shiesty<\/a>, Gucci Mane<\/a> has responded with \u201cCrash Dummy,\u201d a new diss track produced by Zaytoven. At least it certainly seems like a response: He never calls out Pooh by name on the song, which you can listen to below, but Gucci isn\u2019t exactly hiding who he\u2019s talking about:<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought it was a business meeting, but it was a set up,\u201d he raps. And, \u201cTell the truth, you went out like a real crash dummy \/ And after all that, boy, you still signed to me.\u201d And, \u201cThey smile in your face, then they stab you in your back \/ You learn from your daddy, so I guess that it’s hereditary\u201d\u2014 a reference to Pooh Shiesty\u2019s father, who was also allegedly involved in what the DOJ has called \u201can armed takeover\u201d at Gucci\u2019s Dallas studio.<\/p>\n

Pooh Shiesty and Big30 were later arrested alongside multiple other suspects on federal robbery and kidnapping charges. If convicted, they face life in prison.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Gucci Mane released a new memoir and accompanying album called Episodes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
