50 Cent says that Epic Records mishandled the Bobby Shmurda criminal situation.
“You know what I would really like to see, though?” 50 Cent asks during an interview with DJ Whookid on Shade 45. “I’d like to see that check from Epic. How they didn’t get Bobby out? Why didn’t they bail Bobby out?”
Bobby Shmurda reportedly posted the $2 million bail in late January after spending six weeks in jail for weapons, conspiracy and drug paraphernalia charges. Shmurda could face 25 years if convicted. His GS9 crew faces more than 100 charges.
50 Cent said that he bailed fellow G-Unit members Young Buck and Lloyd Banks out of jail. Young Buck recalls the time when he was in prison after an incident at Madison Square Garden.
“I went to jail,” Young Buck says in the interview. “Me, Banks all us went to jail, right. I’m a tell you man, we was in [Madison Square Garden, just to do the paperwork roughly an hour and half. In that hour and a half, I caught a charge in jail. Within an hour and a half in jail I catch a fucking charge in jail. Who does that? On some real live shit. An attempted murder charge in jail. Shoutout to the mutherfuckers who got that check out of me in jail…you got your ass wooped for that check.”
Bobby Shmurda signed to Epic Records in July 2014, after his single “Hot Nigga” went viral.
Former G-Unit executive Sha Money XL signed up to Epic Records in Spring 2013.
In a jailhouse interview with Billboard released Friday (February 13), Bobby Shmurda says he aspires to be like 50 Cent.
“I just want to be like 50 Cent. Or Jay Z. It’s fabric,” Bobby says. “I just want to be like 50 Cent. [Laughs.] I want to be like Biggie, Tupac. Fabric rap. Fiction rap.”
Shmurda says the streets are sticking by him while Epic has not.
“No, no. They’re not bailing me out,” Shmurda says. “They’re [Epic] not standing by me that much. Every time I call them, there’s excuses about [parent company] Sony, this and that. So, nah. It’s more people on the streets that’s standing by me more than them. I haven’t gotten a visit from one of them yet. Nah.”

Buck is about that life
How is this blasting? He simply questioned why the label hasn’t bailed him out yet.
Shamelessly dishonest journalism designed to get more traffic
How you call yourself Sha Money but you cant put up the money to bail your artist out?
You could tell by the way they held that audition / Dance / Slave auction meeting.. when Smurda performed in conference room they weren’t the types to stand by him if something like this happened. They didn’t give 2 shits about him. All they cared about was extracting money off a few hit records.. and that dance.
That goes for 99% of the industry u late
People are surprised Epic didn’t step up? Seriously? 2Pac sat in prison with the #1 album in the country and Interscope didn’t flinch. One hot song and Epic should have dropped $2 million to get him out…right….
MITCHELL DUMBFELD PLEASE JUST DIE ALREADY. THANKS
Fif’ always saying out loud what people been thinking on the low, putting major labels in ridicule. My man ahahhaha
why would epic bail him out? he hasn’t made them any money yet. even the so-called streets that he says are standing by him, if he blows trial and goes away for a couple of years, they ain’t gonna remember him. real spit. you don’t know until you been through it.
his single went plat
And he won’t make them any money as long as he’s in jail
Kidd Kidd looking forward to shooting someone cause he knows 50s team of lawy3rs also known as the J33W UNIT handle their business.
Its sad how every hip-hop website is just gonna follow each other and report this story… the interview was an hour and 20 minutes long, they talked about a whole lotta shit. Stop copying other sites and make your own news.
is this site thisis50 in disguise? every word that comes out of this pos mouth gets published on here.
He committed the crime before he signed with Epic. It’s like having AIDS the signing up with a health insurance company.
FREEGS9 NIGGA FUCK THE FEDS FUCK EPIC RECORD MITCH GOT THEM DIME BAGS FOR SALE ON THE BLOCK NIGGA !!! BAIL POSTED IN 2 WEEKS!!
same thing 50 did to bangem smurf after 50 was caught slippin outside his grandma house lmao
he bailed bang em out countless times but he had enough. grown man cant keep his ass outta jail fucking up 50s money.
Hate him or love, Bobby a real nigga. This nigga reps his set right, and does what he says he does. However, it aint Epic responsibility to handle his legal issues. I wouldn’t expect my boss to give a shit if I get arrested.
your boss makes money off of you by making you do simple shit and he can fire you and get a new person, especially if ur from ny. but bobby shmurda had a momentum and he had a hottest single out, just touring from that single alone they could have got that money back. epic is so white that they are bitches and dont want to hurt their name by getting a thug out of jail. get it? if they let a thug out of jail they will make their brand look bad. this kid got a chance of life time. and guess what he do? instagram more cash and more guns.
why the hell would epic bail him out? they’re a major corporation who need to keep their investors and customers happy. bailing out someone who’s facing over 100 charges is a bad look for a big business. they’re not the mafia.
