Why Was Pooh Shiesty In Prison? 

Shiesty, real name Lontrell Williams Jr., was imprisoned in a Pennsylvania facility until Monday (October 6). In 2022, a judge sentenced him to serve five years and three months in prison for a federal firearms charge. He had pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess guns to further crimes of violence and drug trafficking, per ABC24. A release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of Florida revealed that he had agreed to the conspiracy concerning three separate shooting incidents between July 2020 and May 2021.

At first, Pooh faced up to 20 years in prison. Ultimately, he got sentenced to 63 months with one year of time served. Rather than serving his entire sentence, Pooh walked months before the scheduled release date on April 11, 2026. His early release, per Complex, could be related to good behavior.

Rapper’s Lawyer Speaks Out As Release Footage Trends

As videos of Pooh Shiesty started trending, the rapper’s lawyer spoke to XXL about his release. Bradford Cohen told the outlet he’s “elated” about the early release. Additionally, the attorney said he believes Pooh Shiesty will thrive and rise following this time behind bars.

“The government fought hard to give him 10, but after listening to the case, the Judge agreed with us that it was not appropriate and gave him a sentence that resulted in him serving 3 years. I know he will come back bigger than ever and definitely learned from this experience. He is excited to start the next chapter of his story. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I think that this is just the beginning of his second act,” Cohen said.

As mentioned, Pooh Shiesty came home to what seems like plenty of love. While his fans celebrated online, his loved ones did their big one privately. One clip shows the rapper posing near an in-ground pool with silver balloons and the words “Welcome Home” in giant LED-lit letters behind him. The person recording and others cheered him on as he walked around the area!

Meanwhile, another video shows a custom-decorated hallway, from green wallpaper with his name to a floor decal that reads “Main Slime.” The family also had green balloons and a Shiesty background near a fully-decorated dinner table for more than 10 people. Pooh Shiesty appeared to be smiling as he walked through the spot.

More footage from the celebration shows Pooh Shiesty rocking layers of diamond chains while flexing several stacks of money. By then, he had seemingly changed into a Gucci tee and designer shorts. He appeared to be sitting on top of a luxury vehicle while poppin’ his wealth. One photo showed him posing with the stacks (fanned out this time) and rappers Big30 and K Carbon.
