Pooh Shiesty said brands should be cutting him a deal for the ski mask, arguing that his influence helped turn the balaclava into one of the most recognizable accessories in modern hip-hop and streetwear.
Throughout his breakout run in the early 2020s, Shiesty frequently wore a tight black ski mask in videos and appearances, a look that quickly became tied to his image.
As the style spread across rap and internet culture, fans began referring to balaclavas simply as “Shiestys.” The nickname became so common that even A$AP Rocky once referred to a balaclava as a “Pooh Shiesty” during an interview, showing just how closely the accessory had become associated with the Memphis rapper’s influence.
Y’all think he should be on the cover of Nike’s ⁉️
