In January 2022, the rapper's sentencing was set for April 7, where he will face Judge K. Michael Moore. This was after the incarcerated rapper pleaded guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to poses a firearm in furtherance to violent and drug-trafficking charges. As a result of the guilty plea, prosecutors dropped the charge of using a firearm “in furtherance of another federal crime of violence” which could have seen him spending the rest of his life in prison.
Also in that month, prosecutors along with Magistrate Judge Lauren Fleischer Louis recommended a 97-months sentence. Shiesty's lawyers appealed for a bond but Louis rejected it in 24 hours.
