Pooh Shiesty has faced a rocky stretch since being released from federal prison. The rapper has been accused of allegedly kidnapping and robbing Gucci Mane over a contract dispute. On top of that, Big30, Pooh Shiesty’s father, and six others have been indicted and are set to stand trial.
Shiesty has asked the court to grant him bond, but the request has been denied for now, as he is considered a flight risk. His trial is currently scheduled to begin in February next year.
Amid the ongoing legal drama, Gucci Mane has continued releasing new music from Pooh Shiesty. On Friday, the rapper dropped All Eyes On Shiest, a project that has been widely praised by fans for its gritty and authentic sound.
The album’s strong reception has also translated into commercial success. It recently overtook Ariana Grande’s new album Petal to claim the No. 1 spot on the U.S. Apple Music albums chart, highlighting the continued demand for Pooh Shiesty’s music.
The financial outcome of the album remains unclear. Since it was released through 1017 Records, Gucci Mane is expected to receive a share of the earnings. Meanwhile, with Pooh Shiesty still behind bars, some believe the project was released to help cover his mounting legal expenses.
With the ongoing dispute involving Gucci Mane, questions remain about how the revenue from the album is being divided. It’s another intriguing twist in a case that continues to capture the attention of the hip-hop community.
Pooh Shiesty’s pre-trial hearings are still ongoing, so stay tuned for the latest developments as the case unfolds.
