Gucci Mane was the target of a kidnapping plot by a fellow rapper, DOJ says

Rapper Gucci Mane was the victim of a kidnapping and robbery plot by a rapper signed to Mane's label earlier this year, the Department of Justice alleged in a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday.

NBC Universal

Lontrell Williams Jr., known by the stage name Pooh Shiesty, allegedly asked to meet with Mane, whose legal name is Radric Davis, in Dallas on Jan. 10 to discuss his contract with Mane's label 1017, according to the criminal complaint filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

Williams was "upset with the terms of his contract" and wanted to be released, the complaint said. They met that afternoon at a music studio inside an office building.

Williams was wearing an ankle monitor because he was on home confinement for a prior firearms conspiracy conviction out of Florida, the complaint said. While inside the studio, Williams allegedly learned on a phone call that his case manager had not given him permission to be out and had to return home immediately.

Mane offered to reschedule, but Williams allegedly asked to speak to him in an attached recording room. According to the complaint, Mane agreed and was inside the room with Williams, Williams' father and another artist.

An argument occurred inside the studio, and Williams told the other artist to bring him his bag, the complaint said.

He "pulled what appeared to be a black AK-style pistol from the bag" and pointed it at Mane, demanding that Mane sign the papers to release him from his contract, officials alleged. Mane signed the paperwork while Williams' father and the other artist stood by, according to the complaint.

Prosecutors allege that after they left, six others from their group armed themselves and demanded "property" from other individuals in the room, who were referred to by initials.

One individual, identified as "M.M.," had a Rolex watch, wallet, Apple Airpods and a Louis Vuitton bag with other watches stolen, the complaint said. He was "choked from behind to the point of nearly losing consciousness," according to the complaint.

The victims were barred from leaving as one of the men involved allegedly barricaded them, according to the DOJ. The victims believed "they were going to be executed," the complaint said.

Williams, his father and seven others left in vehicles that were later identified in surveillance videos from a neighboring building, according to the complaint. One of the vehicles was a 2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat registered to his father and two rental cars that were rented to Williams' father at the time.

Williams, his father and six others were arrested Wednesday in Dallas and Memphis, Tennessee, according to the U.S. Attorney's office for the Northern District of Texas. They are facing federal charges in relation to kidnapping and robbery at gunpoint.

They each face a potential sentence of life in prison if convicted.

Ryan Raybould, the U.S. Attorney for the district, described them as having "resorted to violence and intimidation to achieve their purported business objectives."

Neither representatives for Mane nor Williams immediately responded to a request for comment from NBC News on Thursday.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said that the electronic monitoring device worn by Williams at the time of the alleged kidnapping and robbery placed him at the incident's location at the time as well as surveillance footage. Social media posts from the suspects also showed the allegedly stolen items after the incident occurred, the prosecutor's office said.

  • "Oh, he kissed me right out of my shoes," the actress shared

Sharon Stoneis reminiscing on the best kisser in Hollywood.

In an April 1 appearance onSiriusXM'sAndy Cohen Live,Stone dished on the very best kiss from her acting career: a particular steamy scene with oneRobert De Niro. The duo played Ginger McKenna and Sam "Ace" Rothstein, respectively, in Martin Scorsese's 1995 crime classic,Casino.

"Oh my god. He's the best kisser in the business," Stone said, wistfully. As Cohen expressed his surprise, Stone doubled down: "Oh, he kissed me right out of my shoes."

In the scene leading up to the big lip-lock, Stone recalled her character had to go to the bathroom, and because her character is a "hustler," she gets De Niro's Ace to give her money to go. In turn, Ace pulled out 50 dollars. "And I look at him like, 'Really, I think a little more than 50 for the bathroom.'"

"And he looks at me, and he reaches in and he gives me like a hundred, and then I lean over and I kiss him. And he just really just knocked me out, right?" Stone recalled.

She continued, "And Marty [director Martin Scorsese] cut and he looks at us and he goes, 'I think we got it, but would you guys like another one?' And we were both looked at him and went, 'Yeah, I think I think maybe we need one more.'"

North West, 12, performs 2 songs with dad Ye at sold-out Los Angeles concert, including 'Piercing on My Hand'

North Westis ready for "all of the lights."

Entertainment Weekly Ye and daughter North WestCredit: Mark Sagliocco/WireImage; Kim and North/TikTok

The 12-year-old daughter ofYe(formerly known as Kanye West) andKim Kardashianjoined her father onstage at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, performing two songs for the sold-out crowd of 70,000 on Wednesday night.

The concert marked the first time the rapper has performed on U.S. soil since 2021.

North, dressed in all black and sunglasses with her long blue hair in pigtails, stepped onstage to her 2024 track "Miss Westie." She then performed two newer songs, "Talking" and "Piercing on My Wrist" — the latter possibly inspired by themultitude of microdermal piercingson both her hands.

The preteen's appearance came toward the end of her father's 33-song setlist, featuring hits like "Can't Tell Me Nothing," "Mercy," "Heartless," "Jesus Walks," "All of the Lights," and "Runaway."

Not only did North get up in front of an enormous crowd, but she also conquered any possible fear of heights, as the entire show took place atop a giant dome illuminated with a projection of the earth. For obvious safety reasons, it appears bothYe and North wore harnesses.

North wasn't the only special guest to join Ye onstage. Don Toliver also performed "Moon," his track with the rapper off 2021'sDonda.

Days before the L.A. show, Ye released his 12th studio album,Bully, which hasn't exactly received rave reviews from critics.Pitchforkdubbed it  "a cheap hit of retro-Kanye," whileRolling Stonegave it 2.5 stars for offering "plenty of fan service, but little substance."

Subsequently, one of the featured producers, James Blake, has publicly requested his name beremovedthe credits of "This One Here," a song he first worked on with Ye back in 2022.

"My original version is a completely different production in spirit" than the version on Bully, he told fan on his social media platform,Vault. "Happy for the fans but I've asked to be taken off the producer credits for now as I don't want to take credit for other people's work and this version isn't what I created with Ye."

Wednesday's concert was not the first time Ye's daughter nearly stole the show. At the age of 6, North made her musical debut at 2020 Paris Fashion Week during her dad's Yeezy show.

Back in January, the preteen traveled to Mexico City to surprise Ye's 40,000 fans at the Monumental Plaza de Toros with the first live performance of "Piercing on My Hand."

Ye's latest tour, in support ofBully, continues for a second night at SoFi Stadium on April 3, before heading to India, Turkey, Netherlands, France, Spain, and Portugal this summer.

Citing a car accident 25 years ago that caused damage to the frontal lobe of his brain, yet went "unnoticed" according to Ye. Over time, he added, "I lost touch with reality."

Ye continued, "I said and did things I deeply regret. Some of the people I love the most, I treated the worst. You endured fear, confusion, humiliation, and the exhaustion of trying to have someone who was, at times, unrecognizable. Looking back, I became detached from my true self."

The Unlikely Reason Kris Jenner Is Going Viral on Chinese Social Media Platforms

Kris Jenner has become an unexpected symbol of luck and success across Chinese social media

NEED TO KNOW

  • Users are editing her into different professions and using her image to "manifest" wealth and career wins

  • TikTok creator Marcelo Wang says the trend reflects admiration for her work ethic — and a sense of humor

Kris Jenneris having an unexpected cultural moment — this time as a symbol of luck, ambition and success on the other side of the world.

Across Chinese social media platforms like Xiaohongshu (also known asRedNote) and Douyin, users have been sharing images of the Kardashian matriarch as part of a playful trend centered on "manifesting" prosperity. Many are even swapping their profile photos for pictures of Jenner, hoping some of her famously sharp business instincts might rub off.

The posts range from simple tributes to elaborate edits, with Jenner reimagined in a variety of professions — from a high-powered attorney to a classroom teacher — all reflecting different paths to success.

So why Jenner?

According to TikTok creator Marcelo Wang, who helped explain the phenomenon to Western audiences, the answer lies in both admiration and irony.

"Because Kris Jenner is one of the hardest working businesswomen in the U.S., Chinese people really respect hard work," Wang said in arecent video, describing the trend as a lighthearted way for Gen Z users to "manifest success."

In China, Jenner's reputation as the ultimate "momager" — guiding the careers of daughtersKim,Khloé,Kourtney,KendallandKylie— has translated into something even bigger. Some users have nicknamed her "Tai Hou," or "Empress Dowager," a term historically used for powerful matriarchs.

On RedNote alone, over 99,000 Jenner-themed posts have surfaced, racking up nearly 52 million views, as perBusiness Insider. The trend has also spread quickly on Douyin, where users are sharing both memes and explainer videos breaking down the phenomenon.

For many participants, the appeal is equal parts aspiration and humor. Some have gone all-in, setting Jenner as their phone wallpaper or incorporating her image into daily routines, while others jokingly credit her with helping them pass exams or land opportunities.

Eventually, the trend reached Jenner herself — and she didn't miss a beat.

After seeing Wang's video, Jenner jumped into the comments with a line fans instantly recognized: "You're ALL doing amazing, sweetie!!!!" — a callback to her iconic moment onKeeping Up with the Kardashians.
