Nine people have been arrested in connection with an alleged armed robbery and kidnapping at a Dallas music studio involving rapper Gucci Mane and others during what was supposed to be a contract meeting.

Prosecutors say the group, which includes rappers Big30 and Big30, held victims at gunpoint, forced one to sign a contract release, and stole valuables.

Authorities allege the suspects coordinated the takeover after arranging the meeting, with some blocking exits and brandishing weapons.

Evidence reportedly includes surveillance footage, phone records, and social media posts showing stolen items, the U.S. Sun has reported.

If convicted, the defendants could face life in prison for charges tied to kidnapping, robbery, and firearms offenses.
