Rapper Lontrell Donell Williams Jr., aka Pooh Shiesty, shared his first Instagram story after being released from prison on October 6. In the story, which comprised a video showing his cars, the rapper could be heard saying:
“She been collecting dust, man. We don’t ride with no tag, you know, I ain’t leaving out, n**ga, I am CEO.”
The camera then showed a person in the car, about whom Pooh Shiesty said that his little brother had been driving his car. He then took his car out for a ride and said:
“F*ck they talking about n*gga. We out here. That what me and my twin doing when I come home. What’s up? Stop playing with me, man. We the biggest, man. Don’t get no bigger, man. It’s time to show you n**ga.”
He added:
“First time, yeah, okay. You can bite me, you know. How can you just get to warmed up to seeing what we really got going on. This time, here though, man.”
Pooh Shiesty was sentenced to serve almost five years in prison, but he was released after completing three years. The news of his release was shared by his legal representative, Bradford Cohen, who shared an Instagram story, writing:
“@poohshiesty is ready....wait until you see hus comeback. He will be bigger than ever. I am always glad to see a client start the climb back up to elite status. Always kept it. The government wanted 10...he got 3. I always think there is a plan for people and his story isnt over its just starting.”
What did Cohen say after Pooh Shiesty’s sentencing in 2022?
Following the sentencing in 2022, Cohen said that Pooh Shiesty had admitted to his mistakes and accepted what had happened in his life. He was ready to make a change, return to his music, avoid drugs, keep supporting his family, and guide young people in his community. The note also said that the court should see that Williams’ life was worth giving another chance.
Shiesty’s charges go back to 2020 when he was involved in a confrontation outside a hotel in Florida. During that, a person got shot in his back. Speaking to Rolling Stone in 2022, Cohen said that even though no one liked going to jail, Shiesty was glad the judge listened carefully to their side and understood their points. He said they were pleased with how the court handled the case.
As per court records, Cohen claimed in court documents:
“The government wants this court to believe Mr. Williams, with a net worth of $3,449,446, planned a robbery, then committed a robbery, and then shot a known drug dealer who knew him well and could easily identify him. All over a few hundred-dollar drug deal for personal use, while he was driving a lime green McLaren that he rented from the alleged victim.”
The report said that Pooh Shiesty had more than $40,000 in cash and was driving a car worth over $200,000. It explained that it didn’t make sense for him to fake a robbery over a small item like a bottle of medicine worth only a few hundred dollars, especially since any damage to his expensive car would have cost thousands to fix.
