Layoffs have impacted every industry, but the entertainment sector has been hit extremely hard. Gucci Mane admits to to monitoring these shakeups.

Now, the “TakeDat” rapper announced upcoming updates to his 1017 Records roster. On October 18, Gucci Mane took to his official Instagram to outline his pending decision.

“I just seen my P&L (profits and losses) with all my artists,” he said. “You know it’s a whole sh*t show in the industry right now, but when I’m looking at my P&L, and me being a businessman, I think that I’m going to have to release almost all my artists, except for Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano.”

Prior to Gucci Mane’s video, 1017 Records lineup reportedly consisted of Bigwalkdog, Brezden, Foofiano, Hotboy Wes, Kato2x, Li Rye, Lil Zay, and Mac Critter. Sadly, several acts including Enchanting and Big Scarr tragically died from drug overdoses. Currently, Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano are serving time behind bars for separate legal cases.

Gucci Mane went on to say: “This is a decision I didn’t want to make. I thought about it. I could keep all of them under the contract. But I said hey, fuck it. Let’s just make the unselfish decision, and let them take their talents elsewhere.”

Before you find yourself upset at the news, Gucci claimed to have “already reached out” to those he intend to drop. However, Gucci remains steadfast that he is still “looking for new talent” to join both Pooh Shiesty and Foogiano, and that remains where he plans to focus his efforts.

Still users online took to his comment section to urge aspiring acts to stay away claiming his record label is “cursed.” This is a claim Gucci Mane’s wife Keyshia Ka’Oir previously slammed.

Offset Appears To React To Pooh Shiesty Making His Move On Cardi B

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty was not going to let anything stop him from shooting his shot with Cardi B. Currently, the “Back in Blood” creator is behind bars, doing time for federal conspiracy charge from January 2022. He is now almost two years into the sentence, with just about three years and two months to go. At various points, the former 1017 signee has popped onto social media, and it almost always causes a stir amongst fans. However, Pooh Shiesty attempting to woo the ex-wife of Offset definitely takes the cake over everything else he’s done online while behind bars.

Cardi B went on Instagram Live the other day and the Southern hip-hop star was ready to risk it all. “I’m 5 mins away baby open the door”. Obviously, she is going through quite a bit right now. Cardi is currently pregnant with her and Offset’s third child, and they are also going through their second divorce. It’s still pretty unclear as to what led to her coming to this decision. However, there are a couple of factors that fans are mulling over.

Since that bombshell dropped, the former Migo has been acting out by going on head-scratching rants, for example. Now, according to HipHopDX, he appears to be reacting to Pooh Shiesty’s advances. Overall, he didn’t have much to say other than a few laughing emojis, “”. Fans have all sorts of reactions, with some claiming that Cardi is nowhere near being truly single. “She’ll probably let him hit tho ”, one user jokes. Others are hilariously warning Offset that his contemporary might actually weasel his way in. “Be careful offset, Pooh really Shiesty”. Additionally, fans were dishing out some helpful dating/marriage advice. “Moral of the story… Treat yo person right cuz it’s 10000000000000 other people waiting ”.

Pooh Shiesty Issues Brief Message From Prison

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A new post on social media has fans buzzing about Pooh Shiesty prison status. Prior to his arrest, Shiesty, real name Lontrell Williams, Jr. was a rising star out of Memphis. He frequently collaborated with Gucci Mane, signing to Gucci’s 1017 Records in 2020. The rapper was found guilty of federal conspiracy in January 2022, following two arrests the year prior in connection to a pair of shootings in Southern Florida. Florida judge Michael K. Moore sentenced him to five years and two months in prison in April of that year.

Rumors briefly went around that Pooh Shiesty was released earlier than expected. The rumors followed a recent Instagram story from his official page. The post in question appeared on the incarcerated rapper’s page on July 30. It simply read, “It ain’t shit to do a hit Im back B*tch!!” with no added context. This caused fans to briefly speculate on the meaning of the post. Some thought that the rapper’s release date from prison had been moved up since he was posting on social media again.

Pooh Shiesty Has Words On Instagram, From Prison

That post was followed by another one, which read, “B*tch ain’t out yet,” contradicting the first one. Fans joked that Pooh Shiesty could be referring to anything when using the word “hit,” from crime to another big song. The post was ambiguous enough to be left up to interpretation. When Shiesty was first charged in 2022, a prison sentence of up to eight years was presented. However, he received less time than receiving additional credit for the time he’d already spent in jail.

Pooh Shiesty is nearly two and a half years into that sentence. If he were to serve the full term, he would not be eligible for release until July 2027 at the latest. The Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast interviewed Shiesty from jail in November 2023. They mentioned hearing that he may “be coming out sooner than later.” Shiesty was hopeful. He could potentially receive credit for good behavior, which means that he could be released as early as Fall 2025. During that interview, he also said that he wrote six albums worth of material. Based on his latest posts, he could get the opportunity to share that music soon.

Gucci Mane is looking for artists. Yesterday (July 5), the “There I Go” rapper posted an open call to his official Instagram page.

In the clip, Gucci expressed his desire to sign two new acts (one woman and one man) to his record label. “Who wanna be tha next millionaire,” he wrote. “I got $2 million ready! 1milli for tha next male SUPERSTAR & $1 million for tha next female SUPERSTAR! I gotta a brand new record label, SO ICY MILLIONAIRE! Tag the hottest unsigned artists now & DM ME! #SoIcyMillionaire,”

Typically, artists would jump at the opportunity to gain the backing of a hip-hop heavyweight like, Gucci. However, many users online have begun to urge independent acts to stay far away from the dotted line.

“I would if it wasn’t cursed,” wrote one user.

I would if it wasn’t cursed.

Pooh Shiesty’s “Federal Contraband 2” Follows His Iconic 2021 Single

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s Shiesty season! Even as he celebrates another Christmas behind bars, 24-year-old Pooh Shiesty is making his presence felt. Following his 2021 single, “Federal Contraband,” the lyricist returned last week with the song’s sequel. It consists of over seven minutes of bars from the Memphis-born performer as he reflects on life in prison, among other things over production from TP808.

“Yeah, man, you know I do too motherf**kin’ much, I’m Mr. Go Too Far / They might try to come and supersede me after all this shit I’m talkin’, you know I’m federal property now,” Shiesty tells listeners on the intro. As his first verse begins, the “Shoud’ve Ducked” artist gets candid about strained relationships with loved ones. “Losin’ relations with my family, it’s been six months since I called / It’s part of what I signed up for, I’m mentally built for it all,” he spits, taking pride in his strength.

“Physically, I’m standin’ tall, was taught don’t let ’em see you sweat / S**t goin’ all bad, but I’m patient, know somethin’ good gotta come next,” Pooh continues, remaining optimistic despite his circumstances. “Old celly just got killed, his killer gone to ADX / Went from Audemar to G-Shock, these the jailhouse Rolex,” he adds, making it known he’s still staying fresh, even as an inmate.

Check out Pooh Sheisty’s memorable bars on his seven-minute freestyle, Federal Contraband 2 above.

Quotable Lyrics:

Went from Audemar to G-Shock, these the jailhouse Rolex
Be cautious who you buy a phone from, they might work with SIS
Had me stuck in the SHU, four months straight with one hour of rec
My transfer still ’round, Grant Parish ain’t designated me yet

Pooh Shiesty won’t let the fans forget about him. In the middle of his bid, Shiesty dropped off the “Federal Contraband 2” freestyle. In the introduction, Shiesty revealed that a third edition will be coming.

Earlier this year, Pooh Shiesty called into Million Dollaz Worth of Game and revealed that he is ready to let music free when he gets out. In the conversation, he said he was “coming back for revenge.”

“I at least gotta get me in a song a day,” Shiesty said. “That’s the minimum. I stamp that. I ain’t gon’ lie. I got me like five to six albums loaded up. Them just albums.”

He added, “It ain’t no chip on my shoulder thing but I’m back for revenge for sure. Get out the way or get ran over.”

Pooh Shiesty Reveals How Many Songs He Writes In Prison: “I Got 5-6 Albums”

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty was on the rise a couple of years ago. However, he has slowed down his own progress in the industry with his actions. Pooh is now serving his time for his mistakes and it could be quite a bit of time before we see him as a contributing citizen. Throughout his time behind bars, the hitmaker has provided his fans and social media followers with some periodic updates. He has done this by posting some pictures with what seems to be some friends the rapper has been making.

It is great to see that Pooh is making the most of his time and finding as many positives as possible. His most recent post was a major flex. It seems he is still making big moves no matter what. “Just orderd 2 ferrari’s off a jail call I’m real rich, make sure you make ha cover my name up before you keep the b****
#TheWaitIsOver #TheKingIsBack! #FreeTheBiggest.” Now, it appears he is making other things happen. He has tons of music in the vault.

Gillie Da Kid Gives Pooh Shiesty His Flowers For Refusing To Snitch

October 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Gillie and Wallo care a lot about Pooh Shiesty’s criminal case, his well-being in prison, and what he represents for prison reform. Moreover, the two podcasters have voiced their support for him for a long time now, and continue to make strides to improve his conditions and others’. However, Gillie Da Kid in particular recently caught some up-to-debate flack for praising the rapper for not snitching in his ordeal. While this is a pivotal street code with a lot of influence and weight in hip-hop, some felt that this was giving him too much credit. After all, Pooh’s protecting other criminals, some expressed in the replies of the tweet below.

“You took your time,” Gillie remarked on his and Wallo’s podcast Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, for which Pooh Shiesty called in to speak with them from jail. “You didn’t do no finger-pointing, you stood up like a man, you in the slammer right now, and you smiling. And you in good spirits. So I just appreciate you for being a stand-up, you know, for standing up for some s**t you did wrong. ‘Cause a lot of motherf***ers out here is pointing fingers right now, so I salute you for that, man. For being a man’s man.

“You know, a lot of motherf***ers don’t want to take their responsibilities, man,” Gillie continued. “They wanna be like, ‘Nah, Ronny, Mike, Ricky, Bobby.’ Nah, you ain’t do no pointing. You said, ‘Listen, it is what it is. What y’all give me, I’ma do that, and if I gotta do that, I’ma do it.‘ And you doin’ it and you got a smile on your face, man. So it let me know the system didn’t beat you down. The system ain’t kill you, it ain’t drain you, it ain’t take your energy, you feel what I’m saying? So I appreciate you for that, man.”

“Real s**t, bro,” Pooh Shiesty replied. “Real. I’ve been saying this part, you know what I’m saying? Once again, not to brag or boast, but more of this has got to come back. This is what I’ve talked up, this is what I’ve taught and been taught, this is what I grew up with and this is what I looked up to. You know what I’m saying?” For more news and the latest updates on Gillie, Wallo, and Pooh Shiesty, keep checking in with HNHH.

Pooh Shiesty’s New Prison Picture Continues His Dramatic Transformation

October 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Pooh Shiesty may be incarcerated right now, but that doesn’t mean fans haven’t been able to get updates on his well-being. Sure, many of those were purely visual, but it’s at least heartening to see that he seems to be doing well. Moreover, a new picture of the rapper in prison emerged this week, showing him posing with two fellow inmates in front of the same wall he usually posts from. At first glance, it’s nothing remarkable: Pooh stands nonchalantly holding his wrists, and his colleagues look similarly calm and casual in their grey sweatpants and shirt. Of course, it’s not much, but at this point, any sight of him might bring up a smile.

Furthermore, it’s been a long time since authorities arrested Pooh Shiesty back in June of 2021, holding him without bond. Following a five-year and three-month jail sentence in 2022, there’s hope that the Memphis MC will be able to reduce this sentence somehow. Still, it’s tough to say whether that will be anytime soon, so many hope these social media updates will become much more informative in the future. After all, it’s our only way of knowing whether he’s okay or what’s going on with his legal situation.

That being said, plenty of other sources, outlets, and figures provided a check-in for fans concerning the 23-year-old. For example, Wallo267 met with his father to discuss prison reform, and Gucci Mane advocated for improving the conditions of his stay. Along with these conversations surrounding the prison system, Pooh Shiesty made sure to do what he could to give back. He and fellow Memphis spitter K Carbon financed a back-to-school giveaway for the less privileged members of his community.

As such, there’s at least been a lot of ways in which the 1017 Records signee kept busy in his career and personal life. While there’s nothing like a personal update to quell fans’ worries, at least others haven’t forgotten to shed a light on these issues. His supporters will always be there, and he still has many people in the industry in his corner. For more news and the latest updates on Pooh Shiesty, come back to HNHH.
