Pooh Shiesty wasted no time getting back in the headlines after his early prison release — and this time, it’s not for legal trouble. The Memphis rapper made waves online after publicly shooting his shot at Cardi B in a viral Instagram comment.
Pooh’s bold move
Just a day after being freed, Shiesty dropped a simple but loaded comment — “I love you” — under a clip of Cardi B performing her track “Check Please” from her new album Am I The Drama?
The flirtatious comment immediately set social media ablaze, with fans joking that Shiesty came home bold and fearless.
However, there’s one major catch — Cardi B is off the market. The Bronx superstar recently confirmed that she’s expecting a baby with her boyfriend, NFL player Stefon Diggs of the New England Patriots.
“I can confirm that yes, I am pregnant,” Cardi revealed during a CBS Mornings interview.
“It’s been amazing juggling my career while nurturing this new life, and we are each other’s biggest supporters.”
Fans react
The internet instantly had jokes.
- “Pooh Shiesty came home and immediately risked it all.”
- “If Cardi wasn’t with Stefon, maybe he’d have a shot — but that’s top-tier competition.”
- “He been out 24 hours and already tryna fumble his freedom 😭.”
From prison to headlines
Shiesty, born Lontrell Donell Williams Jr., was released early this week after serving three years of a five-year federal sentence tied to a 2021 shooting in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. Originally set to be released in April 2026, he’s now living in a halfway house as part of his reintegration process.
Following his release, Shiesty posted a heartfelt message on Instagram:
“Aye mane, that’s how you walk that lil t down… Shoutout to all those who counted me down and not out. I’m back, richer and more alive than ever! #TheBiggestGetBack.”
Now, with his freedom restored and fans watching closely, it seems Pooh Shiesty is ready to make noise again — both in music and on the timeline.
