Context

Pooh Shiesty

Lontrell Denell Williams Jr., better known by his stage name Pooh Shiesty, is an American rapper from Memphis, Tennessee. 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 was signed to fellow rapper Gucci Mane's 1017 Records, an imprint of Atlantic Records, where he rose to prominence following his collaborations with the label's founder and fellow signees. That same year, he released the single "Back in Blood", which reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. Shortly after, he was featured on the second version of the single "Beat Box" by SpotemGottem, which peaked at number 12 on the Hot 100 and became his highest-charting song. In early 2021, Shiesty released his debut mixtape, Shiesty Season, which peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. He was sentenced to five years in prison on firearms conspiracy charges in mid-2021 but was released early in late 2025. Following Shiesty's release, he released his comeback single, "FDO", which reached number 12 on the Hot 100 and became his highest-charting song as a lead artist, tying "Beat Box 2" as his highest in general.
