Pooh Shiesty has experienced a difficult period following his release from federal prison. The rapper has allegedly been accused of kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane because of a contract disagreement. Big30, Pooh Shiesty’s father, and six additional people have also been indicted and are expected to face trial.
Shiesty has asked the judge to approve his release on bond, but authorities currently consider him a flight risk. He must now remain in custody until his trial begins next February.
Even with his legal troubles continuing, Gucci Mane has continued approving the release of new music from Shiesty. His latest album, All Eyes On Shiest, arrived on Friday and has earned strong reactions, with listeners praising its honest and unfiltered sound.
The album has performed well enough to replace Ariana Grande’s latest release, Petal, at the top of the US Apple Music albums chart. Its current number one position proves that listeners are still eager to hear new material from Pooh Shiesty.
The money surrounding the new record remains unclear. Since 1017 Records released the album, Gucci Mane will likely receive a portion of its earnings. Pooh Shiesty remains incarcerated, while some people believe the project arrived partly to support the cost of his legal defense.
With Gucci Mane connected to the dispute, questions remain about how the album revenue is being divided. That uncertainty adds another interesting layer to a situation that has already captured the attention of the hip hop community.
