Pooh Shiesty’s Incident

Shiesty was linked to a shooting in Orlando, Florida, after a guy was shot in the buttocks. In addition, the detail that ultimately led to his arrest was a bag of money out of a sports car he was driving days before the shooting. The bag that fell out of the vehicle was reportedly worth forty thousand dollars. The authorities traced the numbers from one of the bills to one of the ones he had on his social media. No deaths from the shooting occurred.

Big Brrrr

Gucci Mane recruited Pooh to his music group (1017) in 2020 from one of his mixtapes that caught his attention. Pooh’s style and catchphrase, similar to Gucci’s “Brrrr,” are highly noticed in the rap game of music. Furthermore, his voice also resembles the prowess and experience of a veteran rapper despite him only being in his early twenties. His most famous songs, such as Back in Blood, Neighbors, and Big Purr featuring Coi Leray, garnered a lot of attention in the communities of the south. Especially back in Memphis, Tennessee, where he is a native.

“Free Pooh Shiesty” is what will be said from the streets and his fans as he serves his time. The time and commitment that he puts into completing his time will be detailed throughout his journey in prison. Aside from the hopes and encouragement, he publicly announced that he would release music before and after his arrival in prison. Overall, he seemed very optimistic after his hearing and sentence were affirmed.

Lil Wop Slams Gucci Mane After Publicly Outing Himself As Bisexual

Since he joined Gucci Mane’s 1017 roster a few years ago, Atlanta rapper Lil Wop hasn’t found much success. Gucci signed Pooh Shiesty, Foogiano, Enchanting, Big Scarr, and others before taking the artist off its roster. Lil Wop is pushing back against such allegations by telling his fans that he chose to leave.

Two weeks after publicly announcing his bisexuality in a belly-baring crop top photo on Instagram, Lil Wop returns to the conversation, calling Gucci Mane a “weirdo” on Twitter.

His remarks regarding his former label boss are surprising. Particularly since Wop also has an ice cream cone tattooed on his face, just like Gucci. In addition to their arrival, Lil Wop announces to his fans that he is a member of the LGBTQIA2+ community.

“I’m Bisexual I Like Guys & Girls,” said Wop before telling fans he wasn’t hacked.

An Overview Of ‘1017’: Lil Wop Former Record Label

“1017” comes from Gucci’s grandfather’s home in Bessemer, AL — 1017 First Avenue, to be precise. Below is a quote from Gucci describing his home.

“Rotating cast of family characters who could be staying there at any time” from The Autobiography of Gucci Mane.

Similarly, in the memoir, Wop discusses how Young Thug, PeeWee Longway, and Young Scooter hang out there as well. “The Brick Factory was some hippie commune shit. Outlaws playing by our own set of rules,” he says. “A tale of true American counterculture.”

Gucci’s cease-and-desist letter transformed into an invitation to star in their 2020 Gucci Cruise campaign. Which certainly marked the end of the “outlaw” era.  As a result of his release from prison in 2016, the 1017 Empire underwent a few rebrandings. In partnership with Alamo/Empire Music, he started 1017 Eskimo. Which housed artists such as Hoodrich Pablo Juan, Asian Doll, and Lil Wop. Now he has rebranded as 1017 Global Music aka the New 1017. Through a newly forged partnership with Atlantic Music, the streets of the South can now access the radio airwaves.
