The streets are waiting for Pooh Shiesty to come home. In a short amount of time, he became one of the most promising figures in the South with the success of his single, “Back In Blood” ft. Lil Durk. Unfortunately, the rapper was derailed after he was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to a federal conspiracy charge. The conviction related to an incident in Miami in 2020 where he discharged a firearm. The incident was caught on camera and immediately spread across social media. Nonetheless, he hasn’t allowed his current situation to prevent him from releasing new music.
Despite his legal issues, the rapper appears to be in good spirits. Last week, the rapper issued a lengthy statement on social media where he reflected on the wealth he amassed at a young age while assuring his fans that jail hasn’t impacted him mentally. “King Shiesty tappin in from the middle of the pennititary aka Hell where they say i cant go, jailing no telling!!” Pooh wrote. “I still remain Untouched, Millions still in double digits! Tell google fix my net worth we can verify that shit right now. Yeah I’m locked up not fucked up. I was 21, up 8 figures; Jay-Z can’t even relate. My money triple my follwers.”
