Pooh Shiesty’s Lawyer Bradford Cohen Steps Down

In the fast-paced world of hip-hop and legal battles, there’s a significant update in the case of rapper Pooh Shiesty. Bradford Cohen, a well-known attorney who has represented many artists in the music industry, has announced he’s stepping away from Pooh Shiesty’s defense team. This news comes as the rapper faces serious charges stemming from an alleged incident involving Gucci Mane.

Cohen’s Departure and Confidence in the Case

Cohen shared the news via a social media video, assuring fans that his withdrawal doesn’t signal any weakness in Pooh Shiesty’s defense. He expressed that he still believes the rapper has a strong case and pointed out what he sees as significant flaws in the prosecution’s arguments. Cohen emphasized that the government has ‘a lot of explaining to do.’

He also introduced two new lawyers who will be taking over, describing them as ‘fantastic’ and confident they will do an excellent job. Cohen anticipates that a deeper dive into the facts will uncover information beneficial to the defense, and he’s eager to see the case’s outcome.

The Allegations Against Pooh Shiesty

The charges against Pooh Shiesty, whose real name is Lontrell Williams Jr., emerged earlier this year. Authorities arrested him and several alleged co-conspirators in connection with a robbery and kidnapping incident. The alleged crime took place on January 10, 2026, at a music studio in Dallas, Texas.

The prosecution claims the group orchestrated a ‘coordinated takeover’ of the studio, with the intent of forcing Gucci Mane to release Pooh Shiesty from his contract with 1017 Records. Pooh Shiesty has been held without bond since his arrest, as a judge denied his request for release. A trial date has not yet been set, but another court hearing is scheduled for May.

Reactions and Speculation

Meanwhile, Gucci Mane has made his first public appearance since the arrest, performing at a UFL game. During his performance, some fans were heard yelling ‘rat,’ a moment captured in viral social media videos. Adding to the buzz, commentator Wack 100 recently speculated in an interview with VladTV that Pooh Shiesty’s father, Lontrell Williams Sr., might cooperate with authorities. This speculation adds another layer to the ongoing narrative surrounding the case.
