Gucci Mane is calling out the poor conditions his artist Pooh Shiesty is reportedly being subjected to behind bars.
“We do not pay attention to how inmates in the US are treated. @poohshiesty has been sent to a prison over 1500 miles from his home, 23 hr lockdown and given empty food trays,” Gucci Mane wrote on Instagram. “USP Pollack should be investigated immediately.”
Shiesty pleaded guilty to one federal charge of conspiracy to possess a firearm in furtherance of violent and drug-trafficking crimes in January. The charges stem from an October 2020 robbery where two men were shot and injured. One of the victims stated they had met Shiesty at the location to sell the rapper a pair of Air Jordan 4 shoes. The second victim said he met with the rapper to sell him some weed and receive a payment for a lime green McClaren they had rented to him. Shiesty is believed to have been involved in the armed robbery.
