FBI agents walked out with several computer monitors and brown paper bags on Thursday after raiding the family home of 26-year-old rapper Pooh Shiesty. According to Fox 13, the owner of the home is listed as Lontrell Williams, the name of the Memphis rapper and his father. However, it’s still not clear who was the person of interest as the FBI searched the home. Authorities didn’t provide any additional details about the reason for the investigation.
Pooh Shiesty has faced several legal problems in recent years
Back in October, Pooh Shiesty was released from a Pennsylvania federal prison after he was ordered to serve a 63-month sentence in 2023. He was serving time for shooting a man at a hotel in Florida in 2020—pleading guilty to a firearms conspiracy charge.
Earlier this year, rumors circulated that Pooh Shiesty is back in jail. Artist BenDaDonnn sparked the rumors at that time when he revealed that his home may have been raided. DJ Akademiks also told fans the rapper’s release date is listed as April 11, 2026.
However, DJ Akademiks later debunked the rumors, as Blavity reported: “So slight update, the facility they claim he’s located at is a Halfway house for inmates who are about to be released. Also his release date seems to 3 months from yesterday. Most half way houses will house an inmate for 3-12 months of the ending of their bid.”
