It’s been reported that rapper Pooh Shiesty will be going to prison for over 5 years as a result of an October 2020 shootout.
“Back in Blood” Artist Pooh Shiesty Gets Over 5 Years for October 2020 Shootout
Initially, Pooh Shiesty was looking at 8 years for his involvement in the shootout. Shiesty’s legal team was aiming at no more than 63 months or 5 years and 3 months. A judge figured 63 months was a suitable enough sentence for the Memphis native.
The shooting took place on Saturday, October 9, 2020, when he and several others opened fire in a Miami parking lot. Apparently, the Shiesty Season rapper and his party were meeting another party for a drug deal which went left quickly. Two men were robbed by Pooh Shiesty’s crew before the meeting went sour.
Surveillance video of the incident showed Pooh Shiesty participating in the shooting while sitting in a sports car with an assault rifle. At the end of the bedlam, two men involved in the incident were injured with one man being shot in the rear by the rapper. Shiesty–born Lontrell Williams Jr–would plead to drug trafficking and “conspiring to possess firearms in furtherance of crimes.”
In a filing, Pooh’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen said:
“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.”
In a normal world, this makes sense. Shooting at a “known drug dealer” while renting their sports car, which happens to be the loudest, most identifiable color outside of hot pink and yellow, and you’re a popular musician. Getting into this situation smacks of someone who needs a sitter or some sort of supervision.
However, Pooh Shiesty is on some different kind of energy. As he said in “Back in Blood”:
They ain’t got nowhere to go, I shot up everywhere they was (Blrrrd)
Yeah, you know who took that shit from you (Blrrrd), come get it back in blood (Blrrrd, blrrrd)
“We are going to file a motion for any time he spent in state prison on the same crime to get him additional credit for time served,” Cohen said in speaking with TMZ. Speaking of music and this case, on Monday, April 25, recently released a video to the Shiesty Season track “Gone M.I.A” which references the 2020 shooting.
