The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents on Wednesday (local time) carried out a search warrant at a home linked to Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty, Wreg reported, citing sources.
According to the FBI's public affairs officer, a federal court authorised a search, and an arrest warrant was executed at a home linked to the rapper. Citing the house deed, the report noted that Lontrell D. Williams, also known as Pooh Shiesty, is listed as the owner.
There have been no details as to why his home was searched.
A report, citing the FBI, said the agents served "court-authorized warrants" at 9190 Beaver Valley Ln. on the morning of 1 April. That property, according to records, was purchased by Pooh Shiesty in April 2023.
The FBI would not confirm the names of those it was serving warrants for, saying the US Attorney's office had discretion over naming those targeted in the investigation. "This office generally will not confirm the existence of or otherwise comment about ongoing investigations, until and unless formal charges are publicly filed," said US Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee Mike Dunavant.
Earlier in October last year, Shiesty was released from a federal prison in Pennsylvania, where he had been serving a 63-month sentence. He was sentenced in 2023 after pleading guilty to a firearms conspiracy charge related to a 2020 shooting at a Florida hotel. The plea deal helped him avoid a longer sentence.
