Pooh Shiesty Has Returned And Is Collaborating With GloRilla Following His Release From Prison

Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty was released from federal prison in October 2025 after completing three years of a five-year sentence for a firearm conviction from 2022. Since his release, he has focused on reviving his rap career, which includes releasing new music and collaborating with GloRilla in the studio.

In December, Pooh reassured fans during an interview with Ebro Darden on Apple Music that a new album is forthcoming, although he did not provide a specific release date.

His last album, “Shiesty Season,” released in 2021, is a commercially successful mixtape that has since been certified double platinum. Recently, he released a single titled “FDO” (short for “First Day Out”), which peaked at No. 12 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in early January.

Lontrell Denell Williams, Jr. (Pooh Shiesty) discussed his hit single in a recent interview with Billboard, indicating it marks just the beginning of his career, which he feels is still developing. He mentioned, “You gotta think about it, I was in jail more time than I was rapping. The times I was rapping versus the time I got out is way different. I talk way different. I got more lingo and got way more experience. I’m five years older. Faster, smarter, sober [and] wiser.”

After the release of “FDO,” fans were enthusiastic when they saw Pooh and GloRilla together in the studio in early January, along with a substantial amount of cash. The two Memphis artists hinted at a new song that generated excitement on social media. There has been no announcement regarding the official release of the track, though GloRilla also has an album scheduled for release in 2026, suggesting there may be more collaborations to come.

Pooh commented on his relationship with GloRilla, stating, “That’s my dog. I’ve been f**king with Glo for a minute, so it was just like we can’t wait to see each other to get that chemistry up and build that bond. We have a lot of s**t in common. We moving like we’re relatable. S**t perfect. She’s like a little female version of me. She hard. I f**k with Glo tough.”
