The FBI has reportedly conducted a raid of Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty’s family home in Tennessee, five months after his release from federal prison.
A team of agents was seen Wednesday morning in and around the property in Cordova, conducting what they described to local news outlet Fox 13 Memphis as “a search and arrest warrant.”
Records on the Shelby County Assessor’s website list the homeowner as Lontrell Williams, the name of both Shiesty and his father.
It is currently unknown who the target of the operation was, and the FBI did not share any further details on their investigation.
The Independent has contacted Shiesty’s representative for comment.
The raid comes months after the 26-year-old rapper was released from prison in October 2025 after serving three years. Shiesty had originally been sentenced to 63 months after pleading guilty to firearms and drug charges in April 2022, but was released early on good behavior.
Shiesty was arrested in June 2021 for his involvement in three firearm and drug conspiracies, including an incident in May 2021 when he allegedly assaulted a victim with a firearm at a Miami strip club.
As part of his plea deal, three other charges were dropped, and he was given a lesser prison sentence.
Upon his release, he was moved to a residential reentry facility in Dallas, where he is expected to remain until April 11, a spokesperson from the Federal Bureau of Prisons told MassLive in January.
Generally, residents at reentry facilities are not permitted to leave the state without explicit, advance permission from a parole officer. It is unknown whether Shiesty was at the Memphis home during the raid.
Born and raised in Memphis, Shiesty first rose to fame in 2020 when he was signed to fellow rapper Gucci Mane’s record label, 1017 Records, an imprint of Atlantic Records. That same year, he released “Back in Blood,” his first major single, which reached No. 13 on the Billboard charts.
Following his release, Shiesty dropped several new songs, including “FDO” — an acronym for “first day out” in reference to his return home.
He has since continued promoting the track, with his most recent Instagram post from March 11 featuring a series of photos and a video clip from a recent visit to a Mercedes-Benz dealership to purchase a new car in celebration of the song’s success.
“FDO Went #1 So It’s Only Right I Pop It @mrbenzness showed real love,” he wrote in the caption. “I appreciate it x10 tap in with em asap if you tryna get right.”
