Pooh Shiesty surprised his mom with a $1 million home, and the emotional moment is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about viral stories in hip-hop.
The Memphis rapper, born Lontrell D. Williams Jr., gifted his mother, Gladys Baines, affectionately known as “Mama Shiesty,” a brand-new luxury property reportedly worth around $1.1 million. The reveal, shared on Pooh Shiesty’s Instagram Stories, captured a raw and heartfelt reaction.
When Mama Shiesty stepped inside the spacious home for the first time, she was visibly overwhelmed. Tears came almost instantly. Balloon letters spelling “HOME” were arranged inside as she slowly walked through the property, taking it all in.
Fans across social media praised the 1017 Global Music artist for honoring the woman who stood by him long before the music, the fame, and the headlines.
Luxury real estate agent Missy Perrin, who helped secure the property, also shared photos and videos from the closing celebration. In her caption, she thanked the Memphis native for trusting her with such a significant purchase and referenced a lyric from his recent single “FDO.”
The milestone comes during a transitional chapter in Pooh Shiesty’s life. After serving more than three years on a federal gun case, he was released early in October 2025 and is currently on home confinement. Since returning home, he has been active on social media, reconnecting with fans and addressing speculation surrounding his release. He has firmly denied rumors that he cooperated with authorities, pushing back against online narratives while refocusing on his music and personal growth.
