It looks like Pooh Shiesty (Lontrell Williams Jr.) is finally back in the mix, but as of February 5, 2026, his romantic life is shrouded in as much mystery as his recent âprison releaseâ rumors.
If youâre seeing posts about a ânew crush,â itâs likely part of the massive wave of social media attention heâs receiving now that heâs officially in the final stretch of his sentence.
The Current Status of Pooh Shiesty
To understand the ânew crushâ rumors, you have to look at where he is right now:
-
The âHome Confinementâ Phase: After being released early from federal prison in October 2025, Shiesty is currently serving the tail end of his sentence under home confinement in Dallas.
-
The April 2026 Date: Federal records still show an official release date of April 11, 2026, which has caused some confusion. Fans recently panicked thinking he was back in jail, but his label confirmed heâs just under strict supervision until that April date.
-
The âFDOâ Momentum: He released his comeback single âFDOâ (First Day Out) in late 2025, which became a massive hit. This has put him back in the crosshairs of every Instagram model and influencer looking for a â1017â connection.
Who is the âNew Crushâ?
While Shiesty hasnât gone âInstagram officialâ with anyone yet, there are two main theories floating around the blogs this week:
-
The âItsKiantiâ Residuals: For a long time, he was linked to influencer ItsKianti. However, since his release, fans have noted they havenât been seen together, leading to speculation that heâs moved on to someone new while building his 2026 comeback.
-
The âComment Sectionâ Speculation:Â Now that heâs active on social media again, fans are tracking every âlikeâ and âcommentâ he leaves on luxury influencersâ pages. Heâs been seen interacting with several high-profile women, but heâs keeping his âmainâ lady under wraps to avoid violating any terms of his supervised release.
Why the Fans are Hyped
Pooh Shiesty has always had a âladiesâ manâ reputation in Memphis. Now that heâs âhomeâ (even if heâs stuck in the house), the transition from âPrison Poohâ back to âPretty Boy Shiestyâ is in full effect.
A Quick Side Note:Â Be careful with those âBreaking Newsâ captions on TikTok. A lot of accounts are using old footage of him from 2021 and slapping âPooh Shiestyâs New Girlfriend 2026â on it just to farm views while his name is trending.
