In April, Pooh Shiesty was sentenced to five years in prison. He was indicted on four firearms charges after a shooting incident in October of 2020 at the Landon Hotel in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. Unfortunately, his time at the United States Penitentiary Pollock (USP Pollock) has been worse than he expected, according to Gucci Mane.

Gucci Mane made a post standing up for Pooh Shiesty yesterday, December 14, bringing awareness to the prison conditions. He posted a photo of text that read: “We do not pay attention to how inmates in the US are treated! @poohshiesty has been sent to a prison over 1500 miles from his home, 23 hr lock down and given empty food trays. USP Pollack should be investigated immediately.” In the caption he called for action: “This is unacceptable! #movepooh #prisonreform @potus @vp @kamalaharris.”

Shiesty seemed rather optimistic entering prison, making a post that read, “The biggest.. I just wanna thank all my love ones. Supporters. And fans for holding me down during these hard times. I wish I could be comingg home to yall today but this couldve been wayyyy worse, I will be back sooner than yall think ! But meantime new music dropping next week, blrrrd!!!” Hopefully Mane’s post will make some change.

Gucci Mane Advocates Against Pooh Shiesty’s “Unacceptable” Prison Conditions

by

Rapper and business mogul Gucci Mane used his Instagram for justice earlier this week while discussing Poosh Shiesty’s prison conditions. Tagging President Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris, the “Lemonade” artist called the situation “unacceptable.”

“We do not pay attention to how inmates in the US are treated. @poohshiesty has been sent to a prison over 1500 miles from his home, 23 hr lockdown and given empty food trays,” Gucci Mane shared on Instagram Wednesday.

He then added, “USP Pollack should be investigated immediately.”

No stranger to being behind bars, the 42-year-old was released in 2016 after being imprisoned for over two years. 

Shiesty, an artist under Gucci Mane’s 1017 label, was arrested last year in Florida. He was later hit with several federal charges for firearm possession, discharging a firearm, and robbery conspiracy.

The Memphis native was sentenced to 63 months in prison after allegedly opening fire on a security guard. Shiesty is also expected to be under three-year supervision following his future release.

Seemingly posting to his social media from the slammer, the “Back in Blood” rapper made a post on his Instagram in August. 

“The police don’t stop watchin just cus you in jail and you can go to jail inside of jail,” he wrote. “Just let that sink in y’all small a*s unconscious head.”

Prior to his arrest, Shiesty was a rising star under the new 1017 lineup with label mates Foogiano and Big Scarr. 

On how he and Gucci Mane crossed paths, he shared in early 2021 that it was a DM that sparked the relationship.

Sitting down with SiriusXM, he revealed at the time, “Yeah, he DM’ed me on Instagram. That’s how it all took off. He heard one song, “Main Slime,” and he DM’ed me. And now that’s what’s going on.”

Continuing to satisfy his fanbase, Shiesty released Shiesty Season: Certified earlier this year, a deluxe version of his previous mixtape. Gucci Mane was featured on the project along with Jack Harlow, Lil Uzi Vert, and Lil Durk.

Gucci Mane’s ‘So Icy Boyz: The Finale’ Album Is Over Three Hours Long And A Whopping Eighty Songs

Gucci Mane dropped a brand new compilation album, So Icy Boyz: The Finale, and it just might be a contender for the longest record this year. At a whopping 80 tracks, the four-disc project runs for over three hours. Produced by Zaytoven, the album features KATO2x, Li Rye, Mac Critter, Sett, and TLE Cinco. Lil Baby, Jeremih, Trey Songz, 2 Chainz, Offset, Quavo, and OJ Da Juiceman also contributed.

As many have pointed out, Gucci Mane’s album goes longer than any regular movie. Even the Marvel multiverse ones.

If you’re someone who prefers to stream a record in its entirety, turning your way through the tracks on this one feels like an impossible challenge in one go. The listeners who sit through it all should be subject to some sort of prize, like competing in a food-eating challenge. It gets even more difficult if you have a limited attention span.

While So Ice Boyz: The Finale doesn’t rival the longest movies ever made, there are quite a few it has beaten the record for: The Irishman, The Godfather: Part II, The Wolf Of Wall Street, Titanic, and the recent trending film Twitter discourse on Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. To be fair though, these are all great movies, so Gucci Mane’s record is in good company.

Gucci Mane’s So Icy Boyz: The Finale is out now. Buy/stream it here.

Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’Oir’s family is growing by one. In a post shared to their one-year-old son Ice‘s Instagram page, which is managed by Gucci and Ka’Oir, the two couple revealed the news this past Friday.

“I’m gonna be a big brother,” read Ice’s post. In the post is a video clip of Ice pushing a Little Tikes car, with Gucci’s song “Mrs. Davis” playing in the background, notably, the lyrics, “Changed your name to Mrs. Davis, and our bond is super sacred / Let’s have another baby / Ice needs somebody to play with.” Also in the post is an image of a sonogram.

In an interview with Billboard last year, Gucci opened up about fatherhood, revealing that he enjoys the day-to-day challenges that come with being a parent.

“I never knew how much attention you got to pay to a baby,” said Gucci. “It’s not easy. It’s a great thing and I love it, but it’s definitely challenging to be a parent.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Gucci said, “Having a baby definitely made me less critical of my parents. Now I see that we’re all humans and do the best we can.”
