Pooh Shiesty’s federal trial has once again been delayed, with the court officially pushing proceedings to February 2027. The decision means the rapper will remain in custody for an extended period as one of the most closely watched Hip-Hop legal cases continues to move through the system.
The trial was originally scheduled for July 2026, but was later rescheduled after the court agreed to classify the case as “complex.” As a result, the new timeline sets the final pretrial conference for February 17, 2027, with jury selection expected to begin shortly afterward.
The postponement significantly extends the waiting period for Pooh Shiesty, who has been in federal custody while facing multiple serious charges related to a kidnapping and robbery conspiracy case.
In the same case, rapper Big30 has been granted a $100,000 bond. He will not be released without restrictions, as the court ordered him to remain under home detention with electronic monitoring while the case proceeds.
Pooh Shiesty’s father, Lontrell Williams Sr., has also been granted bond, reportedly set at $250,000. His release will also come with court-imposed conditions while he awaits trial.
The federal case involves nine defendants who are accused of participating in a kidnapping and conspiracy scheme tied to an alleged incident at a Dallas recording studio. Authorities claim the incident involved coercion, threats, and the forced signing of documents during a confrontation.
Pooh Shiesty has pleaded not guilty to all charges. His legal team has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings, while prosecutors continue to build their case as the trial date approaches.
With the delay now confirmed, the case is expected to stretch well into 2027, leaving all defendants in a prolonged legal battle before any verdict is reached.
The situation has drawn widespread attention due to the number of individuals involved and the severity of the charges, making it one of the most significant ongoing federal Hip-Hop cases.
For now, Pooh Shiesty remains in federal custody as he awaits his day in court under the newly adjusted schedule.
