"Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty, real name Lontrell Williams, is breathing a sigh of relief after being released early from federal prison, his attorney confirms. Williams, 23, was sentenced to five years and three months in prison in April 2022 for conspiracy to possess firearms in furtherance of violent and drug-trafficking crimes.
The rapper's early release comes after serving roughly three years of his sentence, thanks to a combination of time served and good behavior. Williams' lawyer, Bradford Cohen, expressed his happiness at the news, saying, "I am elated that Pooh has been released after 3 years. 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."
Pooh Shiesty's release was met with excitement on social media, with fans eagerly awaiting his return to the music scene. The rapper's breakout hit "Back in Blood" featuring Lil Durk, helped propel him to fame, and his fans are no doubt eagerly anticipating new music. With his release, Shiesty is now residing in a halfway house, where he is being reintroduced to society. As he looks to rebuild his life, fans are holding onto hope that he'll soon be back in the studio, creating new tracks that will take the music world by storm.",
