After more than two years of sensation, anticipation and uncertainty, the Bobby Shmurda lawsuit saga has met an unceremonial end.
Bobby Shmurda pleaded guilty today (September 9) in his murder conspiracy case, according to TMZ and Billboard.
The “Hot Nigga” rapper — born Ackquille Pollard — struck a deal that will give him seven years in prison with five years probation following his release.
The celebrity website says its reporter was in the courtroom and heard Shmurda’s team discussing the deal, saying that it was better than facing a jury in a trial where the stakes were as high as life in prison.
Billboard adds that Chad “Rowdy Rebel” Marshall and Nicholas McCoy also pleaded guilty to the same deal. The publication breaks down the charges, saying that Shmurda pleaded guilty to 4th-degree conspiracy and 2nd-degree criminal weapons possession. He agreed to have no appeal but gets credit for time served, which is two years since he was taken into custody.
Shmurda was arrested in December 2014 with members of his GS9 crew on weapons and murder charges. He has been denied a bail of $2 million multiple times and didn’t get any financial help with the bail money from his label, Epic Records.
Watch the video below to check out the events leading up to Bobby Shmurda’s eventual road to prison life.
God Bless That Young Brother Bobby Shmurda Epic Records Should Be Ashamed Of Themselves Just A Sad Situation All the Way Around
I hope people will be more sympathetic to this situation and go easy on the negative comments
Nah. You don’t get to self snitch on wax with “Mitch caught a body bout a week ago” and get sympathy. He’s lucky as fuck tough. He’ll be 27 when he gets out. 1 year older than Jay Z was when he dropped his debut album.
Shmurda better come out with the best jail bars ever because Shyne couldn’t do so.
Shyne coulda did better when he got out but he wasn’t as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I was just listen to his diss track bout rapper Game called “Bury Judas” he actually was spitting dope sh!t
good
Uh, “lawsuit saga”? This was a criminal prosecution, to my understanding.
The exact origins of the charges remain rather unclear. Who is Shmurda and his friends accused of murdering or attempting to murder? What were the exact weapons charges? Exactly how many other co-defendants are there?
Just a very bizarre saga overall.
Seven years incarceration plus five years probation? That’s effectively 12 years under supervision of the state.
I’m not a fan of contemporary “trap rap” trends, but I don’t wish for anyone to have their life derailed.
Who was mentoring Bobby Shmurda, if anyone? What was his management bringing to the table? What did people at the label have to bring in terms of artist development? It’s just– sad.
Sha Money XL, Bobby’s uncle and others kept telling Bobby to stay away from the hood and live out in Florida like they planned for him to to get away from there but he wanted to be with his friends after the fame and the rest is history so that’s on him.
anyone who thinks epic should help bobby is naïve. selling records is a business. record companies don’t care about recording artists unless the artists are making the company big money. even then the “care” they show to the artist is apocryphal and specious. records companies exploit artists for profit – nothing more
Get Off the Narcotics Clown Nobody Said Helping Bobby Shmurda Out As Far As Finance is Concerned You See This Type Of Situation All The Time These Record Companies Compete /Shuck & Jive For The Next BIG Artist & Once The Artist Needs A Helping Hand These Same Record Companies Pretend They Don’t Exist. It’s Not like He Was Washed Up He Just Wanted To Make Bail Do A Few Shows To Keep Making Money For Himself,His Family & The Record Company You Say Is Just Using Him
That’s it? Seven years?
Sucks for the kid. Hope he comes out and is able to hop back on his grind. As long as he don’t turn out acting crazy like Shyne he’ll be ok.
with time served he should be out in 3-4
Iv got no sympathy for him whatsoever. If you live a certain life you always get caught out. If you trying to make it as an artist you need to cut out the street shut. I’m fed up hearing about rappers who put themselves in situations they shouldn’t be in.
He’s boys get 50+ years tho?
All you ppl screaming SYMPATHY or “Lets be sympathetic to bobby’s situation” yall need to drink a nice glass of bleach next time you get thirsty. Bobby chose to live the street lifestyle so why feel sorry for him. just cause he didnt do shit after he got signed doesn’t mean NYPD was watching him and his GS9 crew prior to that . Life is what you make it. He chose street life he got street life and everything that comes along with it including jail and death. He lucky he not dead. Nothing positive comes from doing bad shit. Its like these new wanna be super human goon rappers look at 50 cent and go if he can do it I can do it too.
The kid with no bars will be living behind them.. Boohoo….
That’s want happens when you try to live a certain lifestyle which don’t fit you which will humiliate you and he is lucky to be sentenced for 7 years and to even be alive as matter of fact even though that’s 7 years of his life gone to waste even though most people don’t even live for 7 years because of death rates and life expectancy and death is around the corner weather you all like it or not and most people would make the most of their 7 years but this immature guy wouldn’t because the fantasy and façade lifestyle that he aspires to live or temporary used to live in which will parish away from him even when he comes out from the prison after 7 years later and the fake fantasy lifestyle will disappear and vanish away from him when he is done with his 7 years sentence and would probably be bankrupt with $ -0.00 in his bank account and no more record label deals for him now he is in prison and those who try to aspire to live a certain lifestyle like this will be sent to prison and they will not be respected like a celebrity and will be rapped in prison until they bleed from the ahole and spill diahorrea cowards later

Thank FUCKING God. 7 years this clown won’t be able to make shitty rap and degrade the genre. Hallelujah!
Go to hell. Shouldn’t wish jail on no one no matter how shitty their music is. Hate the fucking online clowns that don’t know shit about real life.
Why? He’s a crack baby who snitches on himself and got locked up. And him being in jail means he can’t pollute the earth with more of his audio abortions. Don’t be sad he’s gone. Be glad he was never here.
Only 7 years?! He conspired to kill someone, killed someone (or multiple people) and makes a song bragging. Our justice system is broken. This scum should’ve received at least a life sentence or more. Not too mention his music is hot gahbage. Hope someone does away with him in prison. Scum bag.
Thats weird I thought this only happens to white people
He got 7 years because the court had no way of proving he did this, he may have done it but they have no evidence to support it…..
Black man goes to prison – since when was this news?
Since the media needed something else to talk about after regurgitating election coverage for the past nine months.
Who gives a fuck!
2 years in and 5 years out with no appeal but he gets credit for time already served… This means he will be out in a few months because he has already done over a year in a half…
Must never did time. He will do 85% of the 7-2=3yrs & 5yrs parole. I’m from NYC and that’s how it goes. 5yrs post release supervision.
Glad for you bro hope you learn from this and come out and do something good for your family and the community.make that money .never a hater.
Well it looks like Bobby Shmurda is about to be a hot nigga in prison. Wrong place to be a hot nigga. That nigga bootyhole is about to get LIT up.. #hopehehasvaseline

Damn 2 years in jail + 7 years in prison maybe early release for good behavior, and 5 years probation. It’s going to be hard coming back to the hip hop world with that type of long period of time.
Why they wanna pin a felly on me?
I ain’t did nothin’
They acting like they got the dime on me
Muthafuckas bluffin’
I let my lawyer wipe that case away
