Williams Jr.—best known for his hit single “Back in Blood” featuring Lil Durk—is currently serving five years after pleading guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to possess a firearm in furtherance of violent and drug-trafficking crimes. The charge stemmed from an October 2020 shooting in Florida, during which Shiesty allegedly shot a man in the buttocks. The rapper’s plea deal allowed him to avoid a potential life sentence upon conviction.
Gucci’s concern with Shiesty’s well-being may be partly due to his own past as an inmate. Having served multiple prison stints, the Alabama native most recently returned home in 2016 after serving two years. The East Atlanta Santa pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon stemming from a prior arrest in September 2013.
That whole culture is such a waste of humanity.
