Rapper Gucci Mane appears to take shots at fellow rapper Pooh Shiesty in his newly released song “Crash Dummy,” referencing betrayal related to his alleged kidnapping and robbery in January.
Throughout the track, Gucci Mane suggests he was set up during what he believed was a business meeting.
“I thought it was a business meeting, but it was a set up,” he raps. “I walk in the room, you can feel the pressure building … the whole time they plotting against me.”
The lyrics repeatedly point to betrayal within his circle, with Gucci Mane adding, “They smile in your face, then they stab you in your back,” and, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.”
In another pointed line, he appears to reference his business relationship with Pooh Shiesty, who was previously signed to his 1017 label: “And after all that, boy, you still signed to me.”
Gucci Mane also frames the situation as strictly business, rapping, “I don’t take it personal, for me it’s only business,” while emphasizing his role as both an artist and executive: “The artist and the CEO, I wear a lot of hats … the head [person] in charge, it’s my name on the check.”
The song’s chorus underscores the emotional impact of the alleged betrayal: “I done been betrayed, now my heart turned cold.”
Prosecutors claim rapper Pooh Shiesty, who’s real name is Lontrell Williams Jr., and a crew from Memphis that included his father Lontrell Williams Sr., traveled to Dallas back in January to confront Radric Davis, aka Gucci Mane, to demand at gunpoint that Davis release Williams from his recording contract with 1017 Records. The DOJ said the group “executed an armed takeover,” where Pooh Shiesty pulled out an AK-style pistol and “forced one of the victims to sign a release from the recording contract at gunpoint.”
The rest of the group also allegedly pulled out guns and robbed the other victims of Rolex watches, jewelry, cash and other high-value items, according to the DOJ. One of the victims was choked during the robbery to the point of near unconsciousness, the DOJ said.
While Gucci Mane does not name Pooh Shiesty directly in the song, the references to a setup, business ties and loyalty have led to speculation the lyrics are aimed at his former signee.
The track closes with a message directed at those he calls “crash dummies,” signaling a warning about trust and consequences in both business and personal relationships.
Wednesday, a judge ruled Pooh Shiesty to remain in federal custody as investigation continues.
