AceShowbiz - Rick Ross recently addressed the controversy surrounding Pooh Shiesty and his contract with Gucci Mane, offering a business lesson on how the situation should have been handled.

Following a serious incident on January 10, 2026, where Pooh Shiesty and Big30 allegedly led an armed takeover at a Dallas studio, the situation escalated to dangerous levels. Prosecutors report that nine individuals were involved in the coordinated event, during which Pooh Shiesty reportedly brandished an AK-style pistol and forced a victim to sign a release from their recording contract. Meanwhile, Big30 blocked the exit by physically barricading the door.

The incident reportedly included robbery of expensive items such as Rolex watches, jewelry, and cash, with one victim nearly choked unconscious. The severity of these actions has led to all nine suspects being arrested, facing potential life sentences if convicted.

Rick Ross weighed in on the matter, emphasizing that violence is never the answer in business disputes. "I don't like it for either side," Ross stated. He acknowledged that Gucci Mane did not deserve such treatment, and expressed concern for the future of Pooh Shiesty.

Ross highlighted the importance of negotiation over force, explaining that if an artist initially signs a contract for $100,000 but later has $10 million on the table, the correct path is to negotiate rather than resort to intimidation. "In business, you got to negotiate. Everybody wins, let's go. You can't muscle your way out of no s*** in no business," he said, offering a clear message on professional conduct.

At the time of the incident, Pooh Shiesty was reportedly on home confinement due to a prior firearms conspiracy conviction, adding complexity to his legal situation. The case continues to develop as authorities pursue charges against all involved.
