Lontrell Donell Williams, Jr. (born November 8, 1999), better known by his stage name Pooh Shiesty, is an American rapper from Memphis, Tennessee.[5] He signed with Gucci Mane's 1017 Records, an imprint of Atlantic Records in 2020,[6] he rose to prominence following his collaborations with the label's founder and cohorts. That same year, his single "Back in Blood" (featuring Lil Durk) peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.[7] It preceded the release of his debut commercial mixtape Shiesty Season (2021), which peaked at number three on the Billboard 200. His stage name was given by his late brother, who adapted his childhood nickname "Mr. Pooh" with the vernacular slang term "shiesty"—referential of his lifestyle.[8][9]
