The DOJ said the group &#8220;executed an armed takeover,&#8221; where Pooh Shiesty pulled out an AK-style pistol and &#8220;forced one of the victims to sign a release from the recording contract at gunpoint.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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.
