Where Is Pooh Shiesty Now? Jail Release, Net Worth & Career Plans

Pooh Shiesty is the name of Lontrell Donell Williams Jr., born on November 8, 1999, in Memphis, Tennessee. He gained notoriety after the release of the single, "Back in Blood," featuring Lil Durk, in 2020. The song charted, and became his well known song. His first mixtape, Shiesty Season, was released in 2021. The mixtape solidified his place in the hip hop industry as a relevant artist in music. He signed to 1017 Records, a label run by Gucci Mane, and built a substantial fanbase and streaming numbers before legal issues hindered his progress.

Although he was locked up, his music catalog did in fact continue to collect streams, indicating his popularity remained, even in prison. Reports circulated in 2025, stating Pooh Shiesty continued to stream millions of songs, which indicates performing a complete net-worth analysis is well justified.

Why Pooh Shiesty Went to Jail & How Long He Served

Pooh Shiesty's legal situation began after being associated with an incident in Florida in the summer of 2020. He was arrested on charges in 2021, and pleaded guilty to a federal charge in regard to the possession of firearms, conspiracy, and charges related to gross abuse and injuries. He was sentenced to federal prison for 63 months (5 years and 3 months), on April 2022.

He completed approximately three years of his sentence, and was released early in October 2025. Multiple news sources verify his reports of early release. Now, he is living in a halfway house for the moment, as a part of his re-entry program, rather than being at home.

After his release, Pooh Shiesty remains limited in his freedom; he is currently in a federally supervised halfway house. It is standard for inmates about to end their sentence to adjust back into society.

He made a couple of rare public appearances and there are short video clips circulating online that show him in public spaces. Fans have suggested the video clips are from a “jail phone” which generated stories and rumors for fans.

Since he is in a halfway house, he is not allowed to return home yet, some restrictions are still in place. If at some time in the future he comes into compliance with their requirements, he may go back to regular freedom.

Pooh Shiesty Net Worth & Financials

Pooh Shiesty's net worth has been listed in court filings as roughly $3.45 million.This number is based on numbers before being incarcerated from streaming royalties, performances, music sales.

Since the data is from court filings, it is relatively accurate, but the filings may not capture everything -- future deals, all expenses, and so on. In the event that he resumes releasing music and tours, his net worth will likely increase.
