Why Was Pooh Shiesty In Jail?

Pooh Shiesty pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess firearms in furtherance of crimes of violence and drug trafficking back in 2022. In turn, he spent three years in prison. The charge stemmed from a shooting incident that occurred the year before in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. He originally faced up to 20 years in federal prison, but the plea deal helped him land a sentence that expected him to be released in April 2026.

On Monday, he secured an early release and was transferred to a halfway house. He's already been making tons of headlines since getting out. For starters, he went viral online for commenting "I love you" on one of Cardi B's Instagram posts. In the post, Cardi shared a video of herself rapping along to her song, "Check Please," off of her new album, Am I The Drama? Cardi and her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, are currently expecting their first child together.
