\n\tMemphis rapper Pooh Shiesty<\/a> is home after serving more than four years in federal prison. In April 2022 the artist, real name Lontrell Williams, was sentenced to 63 months in prison<\/a> after pleading guilty to a gun conspiracy charge<\/a> stemming from an October 2020 confrontation that left a man shot in the buttocks. His release date was originally April 11, 2026, but time served and good behavior spurred an early release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am elated that Pooh has been released after 3 years,\u201d Williams\u2019 lawyer, Bradford Cohen, said in a statement to XXL<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThe government fought hard to give him 10, but after listening to the case, the Judge agreed with us that it was not appropriate and gave him a sentence that resulted in him serving 3 years. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI know he will come back bigger than ever and definitely learned from this experience,\u201d Cohen continued. \u201cHe is excited to start the next chapter of his story. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I think that this is just the beginning of his second act.\u201d In 2022, Williams told reporters he was \u201chappy\u201d with the 63 months sentence issued by U.S. District Judge Kevin Michael Moore after reaching a plea deal<\/a> that had him facing a maximum of 97 months in prison.<\/p>\n

\n\tYesterday, images and clips<\/a> from the rapper\u2019s homecoming were shared on social media<\/a>, showing him celebrating with friends such as fellow Memphis rappers Big30 and K Carbon. At the time of his sentencing, Williams was a buzzing rapper, with his 2021 mixtape Shiesty Season<\/em>, his only full-length project, peaking at Number Three on the Billboard 200. His penchant for wearing balaclavas sparked a resurgence in the popularity of the stylish headwear (along with COVID mask requirements), with some people calling the accessory a \u201cshiesty\u201d to this day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
