NeNe Leakes’ boyfriend representing Pooh Shiesty’s Accomplice, Big30

Memphis Rappers Arrested in Armed Robbery Case

Rodney Wright Jr., also known as Big30, faces charges in a high-profile armed robbery case. His lawyer, Arthur Horne III—who is sometimes linked to NeNe Leakes—represents him. Big30 is among nine people accused in the robbery and kidnapping case involving rapper Gucci Mane.

Federal authorities arrested Pooh Shiesty, his father Lontrell Williams Sr., and six others, including Big30, on Wednesday. A ninth suspect, Terrence Rodgers, has not yet been found. At the time, Shiesty was under federal home confinement in Dallas, which complicated the arrest process.

Lawyer Requests Public Patience

Arthur Horne III asked people not to rush to judgment. He emphasized that Big30 has no criminal record and has been focused on music for years. According to Horne, Big30 and Shiesty came up in the music scene together and created popular songs.

Horne also highlighted that the public should wait for facts before forming opinions. In his words, “I hope everyone waits to hear the full story before passing judgment on Rodney and others involved.”

Social Media Rumors

Earlier this year, a video surfaced showing NeNe Leakes sharing a brief kiss with Arthur Horne at a Memphis Grizzlies game. Leakes clarified it was only a friendly peck and not a romantic moment. She criticized bloggers for exaggerating the video to attract clicks and attention.

What Happened During the Robbery

According to the Department of Justice, Shiesty and Big30 reportedly robbed Gucci Mane and two others outside a Dallas recording studio on January 10, 2026. They allegedly blocked the studio door to stop the victims from leaving.

The victims lost Rolex watches, jewelry, cash, and even Gucci Mane’s wedding ring. In addition, one person was choked nearly to the point of losing consciousness. Authorities called the crime dangerous and highly stressful for those involved.

Moving Forward

The case has drawn intense media attention. Investigators continue gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing security footage. Meanwhile, legal experts stress that the accused are entitled to a fair trial.

In the coming weeks, courts will examine all details, and the public will watch closely. Meanwhile, Horne’s request for patience reminds everyone that legal outcomes must rely on facts, not speculation. This case shows how high-profile events require careful coverage to avoid misinformation.
