In a whirlwind of rumors and speculation, Pooh Shiesty's record label has stepped forward to clarify that the rapper is not behind bars. Confusion erupted on Monday when DJ Akademiks reported that Pooh Shiesty appeared in the Federal Bureau of Prisons records, showing a release date of April 11, 2026. The rapper, who had previously been serving a five-year sentence related to a firearm charge, was released early back in October, raising questions about his current status.
DJ Akademiks took to X (formerly Twitter) to shed light on the situation, revealing that the facility listed is actually a halfway house meant for inmates nearing their release. He added, "Most halfway houses will house an inmate for 3-12 months before the end of their sentence," hinting that Shiesty still had some time left before fully re-entering society.
Akademiks speculated about the possibility of a violation, keeping fans in the dark. He stated, "It could be a HOLD stemming from possible violations, but he wouldn’t be housed in a halfway house." His comments raised eyebrows, especially since Pooh was seen freely shooting music videos and making appearances.
To clear the air, it was soon confirmed that Pooh Shiesty's label reached out to denounce the swirling rumors. Akademiks later shared, "Apparently his April date has existed since his 'release' and he’s on home confinement until April... Rumors started during a stream when fans mistakenly thought a friend’s conversation was about him being arrested."
