Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records rapper Pooh Shiesty has proven he is not afraid of the repercussions or attention that comes with sending shots on wax, or in real life.
The Memphis native blew up in 2020, leaving a trail of debris littering his come-up path with notable moments that centered him in the midst of controversy and also cemented his burgeoning star power and early legacy. From features with Lil Baby and Lil Durk to alleged shootouts, Pooh Shiesty’s reputation precedes him — and here’s why.
For starters, Pooh Shiesty’s profile got a major boost off the strength of news of his arrest in connection with a double shooting, as the result of a high-end drug and sneaker deal gone sour in Bay Harbor Island last year. Though the situation had lost some traction, Pooh’s name was brought back into the spotlight Tuesday (January 26), after footage of the shooting unfolding in broad daylight surfaced online.
