Pooh Shiesty has realized who has his back in the music industry while in prison.

Pooh Shiesty gave a shout-out to Lil Baby, Lil Durk, and Don Trip during his recent interview on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. While calling in to speak with Gillie and Wallo, he praised the group of rappers for holding him down while he's in prison.

“Rappers, for sure,” Shiesty began. “You got motherf*ckers really sitting down and taking their time out to write, you know? Good men like Lil Baby, Durk — he ain’t missing’ a beat. Y’all familiar with Don Trip? He just wrote me a letter the other day. Just got a letter from him. There’s a lot of artists that keep my name alive in many different ways.”
