Pooh Shiesty
Lontrell Denell Williams Jr. (born November 8, 1999), known by his stage name Pooh Shiesty, is an American rapper. His stage name was given to him by his late brother, who adapted his childhood nickname "Mr. Pooh" with the vernacular slang term "shiesty", which he felt was referential of his lifestyle.
In 2020, he signed with fellow Southern rapper Gucci Mane's 1017 Records, an imprint of Atlantic Records, for a reported US$10 million. His 2020 single, "Back in Blood" (featuring Lil Durk), peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. That same year, he guest appeared on the remix of SpotemGottem's single "Beat Box", which peaked at number 12 on the Hot 100 and remains his joint-highest entry on the chart.
His debut mixtape, Shiesty Season (2021), peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. He was then sentenced to five years in prison on firearms conspiracy charges in June 2021, but was released early in late 2025. His 2025 comeback single, "FDO", peaked at number 12 on the Hot 100 and became his other highest-charting song as a lead artist, tying "Beat Box 2". Following an April 2026 break-in at label boss Gucci Mane's residence, Shiesty was arrested and charged with federal conspiracy to commit kidnapping and robbery. While incarcerated, his debut studio album, All Eyes on Shiest (2026), peaked at number seven on the Billboard 200.
