In this heartfelt video from a hospital room that’s been making the rounds, Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty surprised his dad with a sick custom diamond chain for his 49th birthday. The clip, dropped by No Jumper on New Year’s Eve 2025, captures Shiesty slipping the bling worth way over 100 grand around his old man’s neck while he’s chilling in the bed, and you can see the dude getting all choked up. It blew up quick on social media, with folks loving the real family vibe it showed.
The timing couldn’t have been better, honestly. Shiesty just got out of federal prison early back on October 7, 2025, and this was like his way of shouting out loyalty during his big comeback. People on IG and X were all over it, calling it a raw look at life after lockup, and that No Jumper post alone snagged over 45K views.
A tweet from X.
Shiesty, real name Lontrell Donell Williams Jr., was born November 8, 1999, right in the heart of Memphis, Tennessee specifically that rough South Memphis spot. His pops, Lontrell “Mob Boss” Williams Sr., was an underground rapper who started Mob Ties Records, and that influence got Shiesty spitting bars at 18. He linked up with Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records in 2020, blew up with tracks like “Back in Blood” ft. Lil Durk, and his first mixtape Shiesty Season rose to No. 3 on Billboard 200.
Things hit a snag in 2022 when he caught a federal case for firearm conspiracy from a 2020 shooting beef. Got 63 months but bounced after about three years thanks to time served and staying on his best behavior. Since freedom, he’s back in the game dropped “FDO,” which hit No. 22 on the Hot 100, keeping his eyes on music and fam.
In the vid, Shiesty’s basically bigging up his dad as the real MVP.
“Only mf gave me anything on my release,”
He posted, giving props to his father and the guy filming as the only ones who really showed love post-prison. He threw shade at everybody else friends, family, even his label—for ghosting him, straight up saying they didn’t step up or hook him up with zilch.
That’s Shiesty’s take, though, straight from the horse’s mouth not like it’s all fact-checked or anything. Outlets like My Mixtapez and Daily Loud ran with it, and the comments sections lit up with talks about fake friends in the industry sucking the life out of artists.
Yeah, the video’s legit it’s everywhere on IG and X from No Jumper, and the gift, the b-day, and the hype all check out with no one calling BS. Stuff from REVOLT and even The Economic Times backs up his release and backstory.
We don’t know the deets on the hospital or why his dad was there privacy stuff, I guess. There’s a bit of mix-up in some reports thinking Shiesty was the patient, but nah, it’s mostly pointing to his pops. And that claim about only his dad and the cameraman riding for him? Unverified, no official word from hospitals or reps.
