POOH SHIESTY FACING LIFE IN PRISON OVER ARMED ROBBERY

Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty is facing life in prison. Battling a slew of felony charges, he will go to trial on October 25th.

This, following an armed robbery in which he reportedly shot a man in the buttocks. The rapper will be held behind bars until his trial date.

HOT 97 reports Pooh Shiesty is facing a maximum of 20 years each for “Conspiracy to Possess Firearms in Furtherance of Violent Crime and Hobbs Act Robbery Conspiracy.” The “Should’ve Ducked” author is also facing a maximum life sentence for “Discharging a Firearm in Furtherance of a Crime of Violence.”

Some of his legal troubles also stem from a Miami, Florida shooting in which he reportedly fired and struck a bodyguard with his weapon. There’s no telling what will actually go down in the trial, but things currently look grim for the rising artist.

Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill is one of many artists who have come forward to support ‘Pooh.’ He went onto his Instagram account to call for his freeing.

In the meantime, Pooh went on his social media to plug the 2021 BET Hip Hop Awards, where he received several nominations. He wrote, “live from the cell, mane. Go tune into the mothaf*ckin’ BET Awards. We got big nominations.”

He was referring to his nomination for Song Of The Year, Best New Hip-Hop Artist, Best Collaboration, and Best Featured Verse for Lil Durk’s verse on “Back In Blood.”
