- 0:04Speaker 1: and everybody. You don't know if you don't lie about that. Right, Hey, y'all,
- 0:09Speaker 1: what's up. It's Laura L. Rosa and this is the
- 0:12Speaker 1: latest with Laura L. Roza. This is your Deli dig
- 0:14Speaker 1: on all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of
- 0:18Speaker 1: the conversations that shake the room. Baby. All right, So
- 0:21Speaker 1: we are not going to check in behind the scenes
- 0:23Speaker 1: of the grind today because there is big breaking news
- 0:27Speaker 1: that I want to I really want to get to
- 0:29Speaker 1: with you guys. I really want to discuss with you guys.
- 0:33Speaker 1: So news broke yesterday that rapper Poohsheisty, rapper Big thirty
- 0:39Speaker 1: and the father of Pooshaisty, Lntrelle Williams Seniors Senior, were
- 0:44Speaker 1: arrested by the FBI and we're taken into custody. Now
- 0:48Speaker 1: to back up a little bit, several days ago, there
- 0:51Speaker 1: was a report that was released via a Memphis, Tennessee
- 0:54Speaker 1: local station. That report mentioned that a family home that
- 0:59Speaker 1: was owned by Poohsheisty Rabert Pooh Shisty and his dad,
- 1:03Speaker 1: Lon Tre william Senior, had been raided by the FBI. Now,
- 1:07Speaker 1: at the time everything was sealed. There was no mention
- 1:10Speaker 1: of what the warrant for the actual raid, like what's for,
- 1:16Speaker 1: like what it was you positioned on, how they were
- 1:18Speaker 1: able to obtain it, what the case was tied to.
- 1:21Speaker 1: At the same time, there was an arrest warrant that
- 1:24Speaker 1: was served to with no information of who might have
- 1:27Speaker 1: been arrested, why they were looking for this person, nothing
- 1:31Speaker 1: at all. Right, So at the time, and seeing that
- 1:34Speaker 1: I'm reaching out to police in Memphis, I'm reaching out
- 1:38Speaker 1: to the District Attorney's office in Memphis to novel. No
- 1:42Speaker 1: one could tell me anything. I was also searching on pacer,
- 1:45Speaker 1: which is an online website where documents are fouled. And
- 1:48Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, if there's an arrest warrant and there's
- 1:51Speaker 1: a warrant for a search and seizure of any sort
- 1:55Speaker 1: by federal agents, I mean by police in general, but
- 1:58Speaker 1: especially once it gets to the federal level, right, Like
- 2:00Speaker 1: if the local police are working with the Feds, there's
- 2:03Speaker 1: been a lot of paperwork here, there should be a
- 2:05Speaker 1: a trail. Couldn't find anything. Everything was sealed until literally
- 2:10Speaker 1: twenty four hours ago. So now we have an update
- 2:13Speaker 1: because Pouschaisky and his dad had been arrested, and they
- 2:16Speaker 1: were arrested on and booked into a federal institution and
- 2:21Speaker 1: connection with a criminal case. Now, they have not been
- 2:23Speaker 1: officially charged with anything, but following the raid of the home,
- 2:28Speaker 1: the Feds have issued a statement. They issued a written
- 2:32Speaker 1: statement with some background details, and then they went on
- 2:35Speaker 1: and did a press conference. So we're going to hear
- 2:37Speaker 1: from the fedes right now on the eight out of
- 2:40Speaker 1: nine people that were arrested in connection with this case,
- 2:44Speaker 1: including Rappert Puschisy. Let's take a listen.
- 2:48Speaker 2: This week, nine individuals, including well known musical artists, kidnapped
- 2:53Speaker 2: and robbed at gunpoint numerous victims at a music studio
- 2:56Speaker 2: in Dallas, Texas. Eight of the nine were arrested yesterday
- 3:00Speaker 2: and Dallas, Memphis, and Nashville. These individuals who are charged
- 3:05Speaker 2: and arrested include Lntrell Williams Junior, also known as Pooh Shisty,
- 3:11Speaker 2: Lntrell Williams Senior, Rodney Wright Junior, also known as Big Thirty,
- 3:17Speaker 2: Kadarius Waters, Damaron Gibson, DeMarcus Glover, Cordet Johnson, Darien McDaniel,
- 3:26Speaker 2: and Terrence Rodgers has not been arrested yet, but will
- 3:30Speaker 2: be soon. The complaint alleges that on January tenth of
- 3:35Speaker 2: this year, three music industry professionals traveled to Dallas for
- 3:39Speaker 2: a scheduled business meeting. Lawn Trell Williams Junior arranged this
- 3:43Speaker 2: meeting purportedly to discuss the terms of his recording contract
- 3:48Speaker 2: with one of the victims. As alleged, Once these three
- 3:54Speaker 2: men were inside the recording studio, Williams Junior and eight
- 3:58Speaker 2: co conspirators, several of whom traveled from Memphis, Tennessee, executed
- 4:03Speaker 2: a coordinated arm takeover. As alleged, Williams Junior produced an
- 4:08Speaker 2: ak style pistol and forced one of the victims to
- 4:11Speaker 2: sign a release from the recording contract. At gunpoint, the
- 4:16Speaker 2: remaining conspirators displayed firearms and robbed the other victims of
- 4:21Speaker 2: Rolex watches, jewelry, cash, and other high value items. One
- 4:26Speaker 2: of the victims was actually choked by one of the
- 4:28Speaker 2: defendants to the point of near unconsciousness. Defendant right barricaded
- 4:36Speaker 2: the studio door with his body to prevent the victims
- 4:39Speaker 2: from escaping. The ringleader of the conspiracy, Lntrelle Williams Junior,
- 4:45Speaker 2: was on home confinement at the time of the offense
- 4:48Speaker 2: as alleged for a prior firearms conspiracy charge in conviction
- 4:52Speaker 2: out of the Southern District of Florida. Towards the end
- 4:55Speaker 2: of his prison sentence, he had been granted home detention.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Part of the terms of his home detention were that
- 5:03Speaker 2: he would not commit another federal offense or possess a firearm.
- 5:07Speaker 2: His father, Lntrelle Williams, Sr. Is alleged to help plan
- 5:11Speaker 2: and execute the federal kidnapping as charged.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. The conversation around this, right, this
- 5:21Speaker 1: whole music studio, you know, potential like kidnapping, robbery allegations
- 5:30Speaker 1: like all of that. Right, There's been conversation around this
- 5:34Speaker 1: for some time, both in the industry, like on the
- 5:38Speaker 1: back end, right, like if you're talking to like any
- 5:40Speaker 1: execs and industry music people in hip hop rap, like,
- 5:44Speaker 1: there's been a conversation around this. But to be honest
- 5:47Speaker 1: with y'all, I didn't think it was gonna make it
- 5:49Speaker 1: all over to the other side where there are official,
- 5:52Speaker 1: you know, police investigations into it. I just didn't know
- 5:55Speaker 1: how sound what we were hearing was. But it was
- 5:59Speaker 1: pretty sound. Now, the allegations are pretty interesting because you know,
- 6:06Speaker 1: some of the questions that this leaves is Number one,
- 6:08Speaker 1: who are the music executives, because people suspect that the
- 6:11Speaker 1: music executive, or one of them at least in question,
- 6:15Speaker 1: is Gucci Minh. Gucci Minh signed Push Heisty to ten
- 6:18Speaker 1: seventeen back in early twenty twenty, and it was a
- 6:21Speaker 1: big hit for the label, and the label had had some,
- 6:24Speaker 1: you know, various conversations going on about, you know, how
- 6:27Speaker 1: the artists under the label things just don't work out,
- 6:30Speaker 1: or either they don't work out, or you know, things
- 6:32Speaker 1: happen where they end up you know, locked up or
- 6:35Speaker 1: no longer here on earth, or just business doesn't go well. So,
- 6:38Speaker 1: you know, when this was being rumored some time ago,
- 6:42Speaker 1: people were trying to attach this to Gucci Man. Now,
- 6:45Speaker 1: I don't have anything official yet that names Gucci Minh
- 6:50Speaker 1: directly by name as the executive, but that is what
- 6:54Speaker 1: has been reported by some hip hop outlets as far
- 6:57Speaker 1: back as January and even now there are outlets that
- 6:59Speaker 1: are reporting that the executive was Gucci Man. But I
- 7:02Speaker 1: want to be responsible in that, Like when I say
- 7:05Speaker 1: that for certain, I want to have confirmed that, So
- 7:09Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not saying that to confirming, I'm
- 7:11Speaker 1: letting you guys know that you know that was what
- 7:13Speaker 1: was reported. I've not been able to confirm, but pretty interesting.
- 7:18Speaker 1: You know that this all centers around that executive that
- 7:20Speaker 1: people have been you know, trying to place a name to.
- 7:24Speaker 2: No.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I told you guys that this was unsealed almost like
- 7:27Speaker 1: twenty four to forty eight hours ago, And normally with
- 7:30Speaker 1: something like this, they keep things sealed because either you know,
- 7:34Speaker 1: they don't want an investigation tampered with, and for several reasons.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Normally it's like, okay, either it's something pretty gruesome or
- 7:41Speaker 1: you know there's high profile people involved. You know, it's
- 7:44Speaker 1: there as several different reasons, so it's normally they want
- 7:47Speaker 1: to make sure that like the investigation isn't tampered with.
- 7:49Speaker 1: So they don't want anyone who may suspect that you know,
- 7:53Speaker 1: they're investigating them, to know what's going on. And whenever
- 7:56Speaker 1: it's something is file, I went right on over to
- 7:58Speaker 1: online records trying to find anything I could in court
- 8:02Speaker 1: paper work that was filed and couldn't find anything. So
- 8:05Speaker 1: if the media gets a hold of that, you know,
- 8:07Speaker 1: the media comes in and they report every detail that
- 8:09Speaker 1: they can because that is their story, and then that
- 8:11Speaker 1: messes up an investigation because you know, a potential suspect
- 8:13Speaker 1: is reading things in the news. And then another reason
- 8:17Speaker 1: why they want to do it is because witness protection.
- 8:20Speaker 1: So like you know, in this case, there's someone who
- 8:24Speaker 1: is you know, there's witnesses, right, Like if this took
- 8:28Speaker 1: place in a studio, you have the people who work
- 8:29Speaker 1: in the studio, the people who book the studio. There's
- 8:32Speaker 1: so many people that could have been involved in this.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Somebody had to let the Feds know that there was
- 8:37Speaker 1: something to look at. Whenever, you know, the Feds come knocking,
- 8:42Speaker 1: they come very for sure. For the most part. Anyway,
- 8:45Speaker 1: their conviction rates are pretty high. They come very for sure,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and typically they're very for sure because they have people
- 8:49Speaker 1: that they're talking to and you know, and ceiling things.
- 8:54Speaker 1: They want to protect the people that are involved. Now,
- 8:59Speaker 1: another thing is there may be some sensitive information, personal information,
- 9:03Speaker 1: or confidential information involved in any documents. And again, especially
- 9:08Speaker 1: in high profile situations, they're trying to keep certain things
- 9:11Speaker 1: very close to the chest, not only because they don't
- 9:13Speaker 1: want to mess up their investigation, but because you know,
- 9:15Speaker 1: just what high profile people involved who may have just
- 9:18Speaker 1: been kind of like, you know, involved in a way
- 9:20Speaker 1: where it's almost unfair for it to be detrimental to
- 9:24Speaker 1: their name or to their business or to what they
- 9:26Speaker 1: have going on because they were either victims of a
- 9:29Speaker 1: crime or just kind of you know, wrong place, wrong
- 9:31Speaker 1: time type of thing. So but then now that's all
- 9:33Speaker 1: out the way, everything is unsealed, so there will be
- 9:36Speaker 1: more here that I'll be you know, discussing and developing.
- 9:40Speaker 1: We'll be talking about this, you know, on the Breakfast Club.
- 9:42Speaker 1: If you guys are listening here, make sure you go
- 9:44Speaker 1: check me out over there as well too. Now here's
- 9:46Speaker 1: you know what it's really gonna set everything off because
- 9:50Speaker 1: if poos Shisty is guilty of what police are going
- 9:54Speaker 1: to you know, charges are going to come down. If
- 9:57Speaker 1: pous Shisty is guilty of what they're going to eventually
- 9:59Speaker 1: charge him with and what they're claiming. He was on
- 10:02Speaker 1: home confinement at the time of this situation. Some of
- 10:06Speaker 1: the like release that I received to the press from
- 10:10Speaker 1: the DA's office in Texas, which is where this went
- 10:12Speaker 1: down at say that Pouschaiste was literally on the phone
- 10:18Speaker 1: arguing or having a conversation with someone in relation to
- 10:22Speaker 1: his probation because he thought that he was able to
- 10:24Speaker 1: be out just you know, on like wreck time, and
- 10:28Speaker 1: found out that that was not the case. The meeting
- 10:31Speaker 1: that he had scheduled, this this meeting in the studio
- 10:33Speaker 1: that he had scheduled. The music the music executive in
- 10:37Speaker 1: question offered to reschedule it because he overheard the phone
- 10:40Speaker 1: call and was like, hey, you know you on you
- 10:42Speaker 1: know your monitor, you got to make it home to
- 10:45Speaker 1: your officer or whatever. Let's just reschedule it. And from
- 10:48Speaker 1: what police are saying, they're alleging that Pouschaiste then said, no,
- 10:52Speaker 1: it's cool, We're gonn We're gonna get this done. They're
- 10:56Speaker 1: positioning him and his father and Big Third as like
- 11:00Speaker 1: the orchestrators of all of this. If true, Oh, they
- 11:05Speaker 1: gonna put him behind bars and throw away the key.
- 11:08Speaker 1: He like, he just ruined his career if true. Another
- 11:14Speaker 1: point here that is so dumb. Within hours, police alleged,
- 11:17Speaker 1: right within hours of leaving the Dallas studio, some of
- 11:21Speaker 1: the defendants so not Poosh Shisty, not big, not Big thirty,
- 11:26Speaker 1: but the other people they had there with them begin
- 11:29Speaker 1: posting some of the jewelry that was recovered or that
- 11:33Speaker 1: was robbed from the victims on social media. So there
- 11:37Speaker 1: is a Rolex watch that was posted to a social
- 11:41Speaker 1: media account. There's and then there's a second watch in
- 11:45Speaker 1: a ten seventeen chain. Now police are the Feds that
- 11:50Speaker 1: they're pretty sure about the information that they have, and
- 11:53Speaker 1: they've outlined some of the evidence that that establishes Pooshheisty,
- 11:58Speaker 1: Big thirty, Pushisty's father and the rest of these you
- 12:01Speaker 1: know young men as being connected to the crime. I
- 12:04Speaker 1: haven't heard documents, but the the federal agents also talked
- 12:08Speaker 1: about that in a press conference, let's say a listen.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Within hours of leaving the Dallas studio, a number of
- 12:15Speaker 2: the defendants were on social media displaying some of the
- 12:18Speaker 2: items of that appeared to be the Julie that had
- 12:22Speaker 2: been robbed from the victims. The charging document outlined some
- 12:26Speaker 2: of the evidence, just some establishing the defendants' roles in
- 12:31Speaker 2: the federal offense. During data placing Williams Junior at the
- 12:36Speaker 2: offense location, which would put him in violation of his
- 12:40Speaker 2: home detention conditions, cell phone records, and license plate reader
- 12:45Speaker 2: data corroborating the coordinated travel of multiple defendants from Memphis, Tennessee,
- 12:51Speaker 2: to Dallas. Rental car records confirming Williams Senior rented a
- 12:56Speaker 2: vehicle that was used by the group. Surveillance footage from
- 13:01Speaker 2: the offense location a nearby office supply store in a
- 13:04Speaker 2: hotel where several of the defendants stayed following the offense.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Fingerprint evidence as well that was recovered from the crime
- 13:13Speaker 2: scene matching at least two of the defendants. Social media
- 13:17Speaker 2: posts by defendants displaying what appears to be stolen property
- 13:22Speaker 2: just in the days following the offense, Greyhound bus records
- 13:26Speaker 2: confirming the travel of multiple defendants from Dallas to Memphis
- 13:30Speaker 2: the day after the offense.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Y'ah not they on cell phone records. There's photos in
- 13:36Speaker 1: this complaint of them entering leaving studios, rental car records
- 13:41Speaker 1: confirming posh Icey's dad returning a car social media Like,
- 13:45Speaker 1: I to be honest with you guys, and again, I
- 13:48Speaker 1: am waiting for some more information right now so I
- 13:50Speaker 1: can kind of fill in some blinks because there are
- 13:53Speaker 1: so many questions. This is like, this is one of
- 13:56Speaker 1: the dumbest things I've ever heard. Like, literally, regardless of
- 14:00Speaker 1: who the music executive is and or is not, pooh
- 14:04Speaker 1: Shisty is a big enough name to know Dan well,
- 14:08Speaker 1: he shouldn't be moving like this contract dispute or not,
- 14:14Speaker 1: because that's the conversation what was being reported and what
- 14:19Speaker 1: you know the federal agents are saying in this press
- 14:20Speaker 1: conference is that all of this was because Pool Shisty
- 14:23Speaker 1: went it out of a deal or something contractual. Baby,
- 14:27Speaker 1: it's not that get you an attorney. All that money, yo,
- 14:31Speaker 1: all the money that be spread across pool shisty Instagram
- 14:34Speaker 1: and he can't just go get an attorney and fight
- 14:36Speaker 1: it out and do get out. And I know, you know,
- 14:38Speaker 1: like that's a lengthy process, but sitting in jail for
- 14:41Speaker 1: the rest of your life is too. There will be
- 14:44Speaker 1: more here, y'all. This is breaking news. Literally, there will
- 14:48Speaker 1: be more here. I'll be updating here on the podcast
