A federal criminal case involving an alleged kidnapping and armed robbery linked to the music industry has intensified after nine men, including rapper Pooh Shiesty, were charged in the United States.
According to federal prosecutors, the case centres on an incident on 10 January in Dallas, Texas, where three individuals travelled for what they believed was a legitimate business meeting at a recording studio. Authorities allege the meeting was used as a setup for a coordinated armed confrontation tied to a dispute involving a record label associated with Gucci Mane.
