Pooh Shiesty has been arrested again, pushing back his anticipated return home.
According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records, the Memphis rapper — born Lontrell Williams — now has a projected release date of April 11, 2026. The update comes after reports confirmed Shiesty was taken into custody following a violation connected to the terms of his incarceration.
Pooh Shiesty has been serving a federal sentence stemming from a 2021 firearms conspiracy case, for which he was sentenced to more than five years in prison. While fans had been hopeful for an earlier release due to time served and potential credits, the recent arrest appears to have delayed that timeline.
Details surrounding the latest arrest remain limited, but any additional violations while in federal custody can result in extended time behind bars, affecting eligibility for early release or halfway house placement.
Despite his incarceration, Pooh Shiesty has maintained a strong presence in hip-hop. His music continues to circulate heavily online, and his name remains relevant in Memphis rap conversations. Supporters have flooded social media reacting to the setback, expressing frustration while still holding out hope for his eventual return.
As of now, April 11, 2026 stands as the official release date — though, as with many federal cases, that timeline could still change depending on future developments.
