Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty has been denied bail in a high-profile kidnapping case involving fellow rapper Gucci Mane, with a judge citing "credible evidence" presented by prosecutors.
Shiesty's defense attorney, Bradford Cohen, has challenged the case's foundation, calling it "very questionable" and arguing it relies on a "mystery contract" that prosecutors cannot produce. The defense maintains this alleged document—central to the prosecution's kidnapping allegations—simply doesn't exist.
Despite these arguments, the court ruled against granting Shiesty pretrial release, indicating the evidence presented was substantial enough to warrant his continued detention while the case proceeds. The decision marks another legal setback for the rapper, whose career has been interrupted by the serious charges.
