- [Narrator] Pooh Shiesty is a rookie
when it comes to the rap game,
only being in the game for about a year now,
but his numbers say something different.
With most of his videos on YouTube
pulling over 10 million views, Pooh Shiesty proves
he's in it to stay.
But, Pooh Shiesty could have lost it all
with petty crime
throughout his childhood plus serious robberies
and shootings that could have costed him his life in prison.
This is Top Trend TV, and this is the criminal history
of Pooh Shiesty.
(bright upbeat music)
- Florida rapper is facing a judge after police say
that he was involved in an armed robbery.
NBC 6 reporter, Claudia DoCampo
has more on the charges he's facing.
- [Narrator] Poo Shiesty
was born on November 8th, 2000 in Cane Creek Apartments
in South Memphis, Tennessee.
With his mother and father, growing up, Pooh Shiesty
had a pretty good upbringing and started rapping in 2017.
He says he never really thought the music would take off,
but he did it to make it out of the hood,
putting out his first song in 2018, named "Weak Azz Bitch".
Not only was it his first song,
it was a collab he did with a female artists from his hood.
And seeing the buzz
that came from that song, Pooh Shiesty dropped
another collab with some different females
from his hood named "Breaking News."
And this song took off, gaining a lot of buzz
from his home town.
Then he dropped "Hell Night" featuring Big30,
his right-hand man.
And they dropped this in 2019.
Big30 is Pooh Shiesty's right-hand man
and they grew up together since they was 12 years old.
Pooh Shiesty says they've been through a lot together
and pretty much seen it all.
Big30 though, was the first one to get signed by Bread Gang,
which is Moneybagg Yo's label.
And then the two upcoming Memphis rappers dropped a collab
with BlocBoy JB named "OOH OOH."
This is the record that got 'em attention
from all over early on
and got Big30 signed by Moneybagg Yo.
Still putting in work, Pooh Shiesty continued to work
with only dropping singles,
not dropping any mixed tapes of today.
Then dropping "Shiesty Summer," which was his first single.
And this song has about 6.3 billion views of today.
This was another first big hit for him and gained
him a lot of fans.
Then dropping "Choppa Talk 2" with Big30
and "At It Again" this year.
These songs gained Pooh Shiesty attention
from all over.
Plus, at this time, his right-hand man, Big30
was signed by Moneybagg Yo
from Moneybagg Yo's cousin, Big Homie G.
All this attention gained Pooh Shiesty
the chance to sign to Gucci Mane's label, 1017.
And this deal turned Pooh Shiesty up to the max,
doing it features with Gucci Mane himself, Moneybagg Yo
and Lil Baby.
All of these features have over 10 million views.
Plus, he has out he dropped a month ago,
which has 7.7 million views,
and the name of that song is "Twerksum."
But, with all of this music buzz, Pooh Shiesty
got himself into some trouble with the law
in the past
before the fame and a little bit after the fame
and could have ended up losing it all.
Pooh Shiesty says the first time he was arrested
was when he was about 12 years old in middle school.
He doesn't give too much information on this arrest,
but he says she got expelled from his middle school
and had to go to alternative school,
which caught him some time in juvenile hall.
But recently, on October 13, 2020, this year, Pooh Shiesty
was allegedly involved in a shooting,
which was supposedly an intended robbery
that left two men hospitalized.
Lontrell Williams, aka Pooh Shiesty is facing charges,
including armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated battery
with a deadly weapon, doing great bodily harm,
aggravated assault with a firearm, and theft.
Bay Harbor Island Police said Pooh Shiesty
was booked into jail Tuesday evening
after agreeing to surrender to police.
Arrest warrants were issued for Pooh Shiesty
and two other suspects, following
the Friday afternoon shooting at a condo parking lot
in Bay Harbor, Miami, Florida.
According to an arrest report,
one of the victims said they had met Williams
at the location to sell the rapper a pair of Air Jordans.
The other victims said they were meeting with the rapper
to sell him marijuana and received a payment
from a lime green McLaren they had rented from him.
The report said one of the victims said he was speaking
to Williams in Williams' car when two other men
got out another car and approached him with guns.
The victim said Williams, aka Pooh Shiesty told
him to get out the car.
And as he was getting out, he was shot in the buttocks.
The second victim said he was walking back to his car
when he heard two gunshots and fell to the ground.
Plus, victim two stated
that he turned and looked at Pooh Shiesty,
who was in the driver's side of the McLaren
and Pooh Shiesty pointed an assault rifle
at him and said, "Don't try it.
"Don't try it."
Before driving away.
One of the victims was able to drive them both
to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The report said Pooh Shiesty fled the scene in a McLaren,
but left the Louis bag filled with cash.
Detectives searched Shiesty's Instagram account
and found photos of him posted with the McLaren,
another with the Louis bag and another of him showing cash,
including a $100 bill,
who's serial number matched up with one of the bills found
in the bag at the scene.
Pooh Shiesty appeared to court
that following Wednesday, when his bond was set at $30,000
and bonded out that day.
Pooh Shiesty's defense attorney says
he's kind of a well-known guy.
He's number one Spotify right now.
So to believe that he'd show up to allegedly rob
the person with his own $30,000 in cash
with someone that he rented the car
from doesn't really add up.
And that's why his bond was set pretty low
and he ended up bonding out the same day his bond was set.
- [Pooh's Attorney] Something happened outside
of the vehicle, which has nothing to do with my client.
- [Reporter] Could face life in prison
if convicted of armed robbery with a firearm,
a charge that usually has no bond.
- [Pooh's Attorney] (indistinct) warrant,
makes absolutely no sense in regards to my client.
- I am okay setting a bond.
I think this is missing a lot.
And I don't generally set a bond for the armed robbery,
but (indistinct).
- [Narrator] Plus, the was locked up, Gucci Mane
was saying free his artist
and Gucci Mane doesn't usually do that for his artists.
But since he's been out, he's been on Instagram consistently
and hasn't really spoken about the situation.
He's also been in some beef in the past
with another rapper named Big Boogie.
I'm not sure of the details of the beef,
but some heated words were said in Instagram Live
and Facebook Live.
