Epic Records artist Bobby Shmurda was arrested along with members of his GS9 crew in New York’s Quad City Studios early Wednesday morning (December 17), Wondering Sound reports.
Though specific charges were not disclosed, in a phone conversation with Wondering Sound, Katie Cornell—the New York Police Department’s Director Of Public Information—says “these arrests were the result of a long-term investigation” that uncovered “a number of violent incidents as well as narcotics trafficking.” She also says that her office “has a sealed indictment against a number of individuals” that will be revealed early on December 18.
REVOLT reports that the arraignments will take place in the Manhattan Supreme Court.
Representatives from Epic Records were not available for comment as of press time.
This is the third time this year Bobby Shmurda has been arrested. In June, the artist born Ackquille Pollard was arrested for felony gun possession. He was arrested again in October for marijuana possession.
In November, the “Bobby Bitch” rapper’s debut EP, Shmurda She Wrote debuted at #77 selling 5,000 copies.

UPDATE: The perp walk video of Bobby Shmurda has been released. It is below.
Sha Money XL also says he was not arrested with his protege.
“They held me until they searched the studio then let me go,” Sha Money said in a statement to Karen Civil. “I signed these kids to give them a better way in life not to be dragged down by the media and gunned down by the 40 cops that raided the studio and pointed guns at me for working my job. You have no idea how this makes me feel or look when I’m one of the only few Black men signing black artist from the streets and giving them a chance to do better in life.”

UPDATE #2: Bobby Shmurda’s bail has been set at $2 million, according to Complex.
The rapper is facing charges of conspiracy to commit murder, assault in the first degree, possession of weapons, intent to sell and possession of narcotics, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree on two counts.
He faces up to 25 years on the conspiracy charges and up to 15 years on each of the weapons charges.
Shmurda’s attorney says Epic Records will be paying his bail.
A series of tweets about the case are as follows:
WHAT do you expect from these imbeciles? HOT NIGGA in jail
lol for real tho. picture his flagrino ass walking the yard with that moist shmurda dance shit smh niggas will eat his frail ass alive
Looks like it’s curtains for these clowns.
WHEN KEEPING IT REAL GOES WRONG. On the bright side he might finally be able to spend some quality time with his incarcerated father.
Nicca sold 4k first week so I can’t see his label putting up the money to get him out of this jam. All that Hot Nigga money is now going to his lawyer.
Reggie Jackson, stop doing this “Bobby Shmurda” shtick before coach Scott kicks you off the team.
This lil nignog had a rare chance to really make something of himself and provide a better life for his family and friends. Now he can’t even afford to bail himself or his team out.
grand opening, grand closing
His pic reminds me of a young neighbor that’s constantly asking an adult to buy candy everytime you exit the residence.
he tried to tell yall he just caught a body like a week ago.
R.I.P. Bobby Shmurda’s career July 2014 – December 2014
everyone gets 15 minutes? this nigga didn’t even make it to 5 them lifers gon have this nigga doin his dance all day long
Well, Well, Well…..After a Gold single and disappointing sales on the album some artist think they can rap about that crazy shit and live it. We knew Snoop smoked weed, but they didn’t showcase that in videos they displayed current style of the day and the flava of the music. This social media/internet age getting cats fucked up. I bet when they wildn out they recording it or someone get the action on the phone. Epic records ain’t bailing his ass out cause he ain’t selling some tight ass like LA Reid just gone find another lil nigga. They don’t understand the music or these kids and cats got to do better. Someone with skill and desire could have that shot and be doing shit. Instead he blew a good opportunity.
cold part about it is he is facing time in a cage when them people are still gone be making money off his ass.
I bet his momma is so bummed out right now. He was their whole fams meal ticket out the hood. Now he’s spending years in a box like his daddy and momma gonna have to get a real job.
how sad how all these niggas is tryn to care of they mommy. jail full of niggas like that. my moms married a corny nigga(my dad)they married 50yrs now and I never was told to be the man of the house. thank you mom!
i guess GS really was for his GUUUUN SQUAAAAADDDD
The streets is saying Slowbucks and them snitched on him out of jealousy. Sha Money XL signed SBOE to Epic and then dropped them before putting out anything when he signed Shmurda later in the year.
Geeks rule the world, stay in school!
never heard of him…lol..must be a bumm
This is why you sign new artist without videos and they rap about other shit besides catching bodies stupid…get a artist who won’t get locked UP!!!
They found the drugs and guns about a week ago.
Hot Nigga about to go Soap Nigga real quick
EPIC will cut him loose 5 thousand sold, man nobody is buying cd’s anymore, anybody want in on this sinking ship hot ni%%A that’s why you in the belly of the beast , see kids do something good with your life if you get to a level of a recording deal don’t let them devils pimp you like they did this child his record didn’t sell he had to deal drugs and guns he was getting ripped off for shows he was doing ,EPIC don’t care another fool is just around the corner sad situation
the weak are hypnotized by shiny things and bright colors. young boys had an informant in their midst and couldn’t even smell it, too busy being savages for a dollar.
Snitchbucks aka Carl WinSlowbucks told on them.
His prison sentence gonna be longer than his music career. Nigga was hot from July – December… thats gotta be one of the shortest runs in rap ever!
His broke ass has a song called “Let My Lawyer Wipe The Case Away”… I seriously doubt it lil bro.
RAP SNITCHES TELL ALL THEY BUSINESS, SIT IN THE COURT AND BE THEY OWN STAR WITNESS
A lot of idiots here. You shouldn’t be able to convict someone off of something they say they did on a song. Rappers everyday claim things. Rick Ross claims all sorts of shyt he never did. Buck was just talking about how about 5 cops got dropped last week for killing his homie? This is RECENT and is in direct violation of the 1st amendment. No different than the BS going on with Eric Garner. White folks in power can simply care less about a black individual.
Robert, it depends on your character though. Nobody is gonna try to indict for saying he shot his wife and her undercover friend on “Undying Love” because Nas’s music is based on creative stories, imagery, and substance. But if your name is Bobby Shmurda, you have no artistic integrity or respect, you’re bragging about people you shot and robbed, and throwing up gang signs in videos basically daring the feds to come after you, then everything you say is fair game. Maybe this will put more of an onus on rappers being honest and humble instead of hubris. Look, I don’t ever root for anyone’s downfall, but there’s plenty of GOOD people who get fucked in life that you should feel bad for, not this fool. He got caught up in all the bullshit that I’m sure plenty of people told him not to get involved in. Fuck the cops, but fuck dudes like Bobby Schmurda too. I’m not on either of their side. I’m on the side of the average decent motherfuckers trying to carry his own weight without hurting anyone. Nobody speaks for the regular people anymore.
investigation has been going on since like he 5th grade
if weezy, prodigy and plaxico all got sent upstate Shmurda doesn’t stand a chance
LOL you speaking some real shit, this nigga is DONE!
Just a $5 dolla nigga got a body on mah gun – Slaughter Rico
That’s my banga…kinda reminds me of this situation.
NICE
I told that boy to make up shit in his rhymes.
his first single was basically him dry snitching on his entire crew name by name
said the same thing
I swear they can’t prison under 18s?
Well that is to bad because the boy is 20
seal indictment? huh huh that’s not good. a lotta y’all got jokes but at the end of the day, i’m never happy 2 see a black man go to jail. no matter what you think of his music. we’ll see what comes out of this
he had an opportunity to get him and his people out the hood and make legit money so i dont feel sorry for him.
This nigga snitched on his whole crew…Breakdown..Hot Nigga/Snitch Nigga Bars
“In CHEWY, I’m some hot nigga, like I talk to “SHAYSE” when I shot niggas, Like you seen’em twirl then he drop nigga. And Monte weep it on him, he done dropped niggas, we keep them 9 millis on my block nigga.”
“TONES” known to get busy with them glocks nigga. I been selling crack since the 5th grade “Ja-Ja” taught me how to flip them packs and maintain. Shots popping out the AR I’m with “TRIGGER”,I’m with “RASHA”. I’m with “A-RAW” broad daylight you should seen how those things barked..
“MITCH” caught a body bout a week ago, run up on that nigga get to squeezing, hoe
Facts epic fail on their part. Too much sign throwing too, they set themselves up.
I just heard he got caught with 50 G’s of crack
50 G’s worth*
This nigga fell off so quick
Salute to the Law Enforcment and HipHop police who use rap lyrics and rap videos to solve crimes and identify criminal acts.
I also want to salute the criminals who dry-snitch on themselves in their lyrics.
Lastly I’d like to salute the suburbanites who encourage gullible Black males to incriminate themselves in songs so that the suburbs can call them “Real Ni99ers” who live their lyrics.
sadly you had some valid points bruh. thought the same thing – CAUGHT A BODY BOUT A WEEK AGO… yeah, dry snitching is what puts niggas in jail these days, fucked up
bobby shmurda shoulda been listening more to old jay-z and his advice on coming of age, “you let them other niggas get the name, skip the fame”. keeping it real + dry snitching = another black kid in jail.
I don’t understand racist white people who listen to hip-hop. You would never say the N word to a black mans face.
It’s easy to understand why white suburbanites listen to rap. For the same reason people watch horror movies. The average person would never put a hatchet in someone’s back, but they watch it because it’s thrilling. These suburban white dudes are so far removed from life in the hood that they look at these rappers like wrestlers. They’re just entertained by the antics while being moved by the music. It gives them a strange comfort and satisfaction to hear about these lives in the hood that they’ll never have to experience. It makes perfect sense. I live in the hood and lived a lot of shit that these niggas rap about and I DON’T like hearing it, because it’s not exciting to me because it’s not foreign to me. That’s why it’s usually the fake rappers rapping about it in the first place. Rappers who have actually lived it are not comfortable bragging about it or talking about it. You gotta be a fuckin’ idiot to catch a body then mention it in a song. That’s a whole ‘nother level of stupid.
🙁
CANT BELIEVE EPIC IS GONNA BAIL HIM OUT AFTER HE SOLD 4K FIRST WEEK! HAHAH HES NOW A SLAVE FOR LIFE. WATCH HIM LET HIS TEAM ROT IN THERE.
GS9 dont stand a chance. Weezy, Ja Rule, Prodigy and Plaxico all had way longer money and still went away. Watch Epic records try to cash in on this.
Hope it was worth it, Bobby
Mitch bout to rot in jail for them bodies he caught a week ago.
hopefully! locking him up wouldl be doing society & the state of music a favor
Only the cops bought that murda she wrote album so they can play it front to back for the jury as evidence
Just another statistic. Next. Proof that intelligence and living right means something still.
This kid is fucked. You reap what you sew and all that but I can’t sit here and be happy at somebody this young who’s likely to get sent up the road till he’s in his 40’s or longer.
lol what a fucking idiot, at least there’s one less nignog on the streets
You’re pasty and frail
pasty frail and FREE unlike these dry snitching morons, RIP SHMURDA GANG JULY 2014 – DEC 2014
gettimg that real nigga street cred i see you bro
lil slime making big gucci sosa proud
#niggas Am I right?
ignorant lowlifes everywhere are already glorifying these parasites and screaming free GS9 and probably pressing up some free bobby shmurda t-shirts. you know clowns like migos, lil durk, and meek mill.
Just about everyone picked up was mentioned doing something illegal in the lyrics to Hot Nigga.
Apparently Mitch ain’t really catch that body, just attempted to. LOL
“I signed these kids to give them a better way in life not to be dragged down by the media and gunned down by the 40 cops that raided the studio and pointed guns at me for working my job. You have no idea how this makes me feel or look when I’m one of the only few Black men signing black artist from the streets and giving them a chance to do better in life.”
Yo, how about signing some motherfuckers that might actually have something positive or creative to say. This is the problem, black people put negative black people on a pedestal and worship them, and they scoff at positive black people trying to do something decent or creative. There has to be a way out of this self-defeating cycle. Rappers don’t do enough, athletes don’t do enough, the average motherfucker doesn’t do enough. I understand that in the hood there is a self-loathing psychology that has to be contended with. I’ve lived in the hood my whole life, and I still do. But there is a point in your life when a light goes on and you realize that everyone outside of the hood is moving forward while the people around you are dropping like flies. That hood fame you get from being a crack dealer, or a shooter, or a thug, is just admiration you’re getting from people who are comforted by the fact that you’re doing wrong like them. People get uncomfortable with you when you start thinking for yourself and showing leadership qualities. That’s how you know you’re on the right track. I don’t know this dude, but I would bet that he had SOMEONE in his ear sayin’ “Look son, you have a chance with this rap contract to move your life in a positive direction and change things for your family forever”, and his response was “fuck that shit, what you tryin’ to drop knowledge on me nigga? I’m gonna flip this rap money into drug money and be a fuckin’ kingpin”.
You can be a good person while still getting pussy, smokin’, having fun, and living an active life. It’s not like there’s no neutral ground between a scholar and a goon. There’s just something about being a thug and gaining the admiration of their lowlife cronies that is too alluring for these motherfuckers. They always secretly wanted to be gangsters. Posing with gats in the mirror and shit, fanning money with a blunt in their mouth while their on camera type shit.
niggas is selling crack and catching bodies and Sha Money is talking like they’re these innocent kids being oppressed by the corrupt police trying to hold the black man down LMFAO
…@ Sensaye Sixkiller, Great Speak!!!…One!!!…
real rap my dude
TRUTH ALERT
Another stupid little negro, what a fucking little idiot. Black people are garbage.
cant decide whats funnier. that rowdy did a shooting then wore the same clothes to a show or that bobby snitched on his entire crew in his only hit record that put the team on.
speak on it..
the nigga look like he was crying son, ready to call mom
nigga you would cry too, shit anybody would
Honestly, this isn’t funny anymore.
I used to clown on this dude but him and his friends are looking at some serious charges.
Naw its funny because he snitched on his whole team in that song, that aint gangsta.
i’m happy that EPIC RECORDS,will pay Shmurda Multi-Million Dollar Bail.As LYFE will say it #MustBeNice to have access to cash like that
or a person to pay for you if your in trouble like this.I pray he is a innocent youngin,so he can move forward in life,a great life.i pray his lawyer i see is as good as i hear.
–
Good he will NOT be in there long.Out on bail rather quick i hear.
I am sure prosecutor mad over it.But this IS america,and each “alleged” defendant,has a legal constitutional right to bail within reason.so i am happy he is out on bail or just about by friday GREAT news on that.Now let his incredible lawyer with a GREAT rep,and astute prowess,get him a great deal or no time at all. -When your bless in this short life we all have to live,CUT off the knucklehead crowd. RIP to the 19 y.o.victim,but this do not mean HE directly did anything i.e. “conspiracy to commit a killing,i don’t buy it at all.
–
Shrmurda just was on a LIVE BROADCAST OF JIMMY KIMMEL and i am not even fan of his,but clearly he “was” and or still is on her way to be big time,THIS IS A DAMN SHAME. I pray it is not true ..
#InnocentUNTILPROVENGuilty and by the looks of it,they have nothing “directly on Ackquille aka Shrmurda.”But the other people are dumb,to even be involve with all this,again IF true.
Time will tell,i go by EVIDENCE not social media saying a guy guilty.
.
You go buddy….you ride for a guy without knowing any of the facts…..one thing to reserve judgement, another to pronounce a guy innocent…..regardless how shitty the system is and how much we hate cops you cant dispute the fact that some morons desrve to be locked up to prevent them from f-in up the world for the rest of us…..i bet he was just collecting all those guns for charity rigth? Oh ya #freeshmurda……not
“and by the looks of it,they have nothing “directly on Ackquille aka Shrmurda”…. Niggas don’t get indicted if they have nothing on them. Niggas don’t get 2 million bail if they don’t have anything on them.
LOL @ all these little pink nazi’s spending all their time on hip-hop websites. You spin-off’s don’t know the ‘facts’ yet either! so what the fuck are u boys dribbling on yourselves about now? eh?.
facts are theres a 63 page indicment with informants, wiretaps, and all kinds of hard evidence. one of the niglets even left a gun in a motel when they checked out!
Wheres the dude that always posts about Gucci being the realest….wellll looks liek the got some competition….and company…..in jail…..sad thing is some of these internet thugs will actually think that this makes this dude legit and “real”
no lie, I feel bad for that nigga mane, the look on his face just says “my life is over”, when he just now got fame & money
the only hope now is other young niggaz take heed and stop doing dumb illegal shit
Wow, the look on his face, I felt for him, at the same time, do young black men really have nothing better to do with their time than try and become rappers or deal in drugs and illegal guns? Like really?
lol, he going away a long time. too bad he didnt use his bit of fame to actually better himself and those around him. Epic better spend that 2million to something more worthwhile. bye bobby
Shit if T.I. can get caught with 12 machine guns and enough ammunition to take down a 3-story building. There is some hope for Bobby.
Agree T.I. DID IT TOO!!!!….as long theres some money Bobby will be out again….but only with MONEY!!!!…
And off course a good fucking Lawyer!!!…
2 million bail,…record company will only pay if he can make it back later in his career,..
Bobby has no where close to the money and resources T.I. had. It also happened in a different state with different laws regarding his their respective charges.
True!!!…
But then again who wants to defend a SHMURDERER??Killed some ones child,making records about it???
Hes gone like Max B!!!!…
This doesn’t look like its going to end well, especially since he already has a gun charge. This is what happens when you have the wrong people around you and no guidance…… smh
he been sellin crack since the 5th grade ryt?
shmurdas face = dat look of guilt. game over.
Epic bailing this lil shit stain out of prison is an offense against hip-hop and humanity in general.
Epic & all major labels, capitalism, materialism & of course your ill (literally) perception are offences to hip hop & humanity. go back & learn how hip hop started, what it represents & how the government has strategically infiltrated & used it to gain what they want from it & further their agenda. slide your head out of your tight ass, take a deep breath, learn something besides what mommy, daddy or the news told you & get educated. for your own good. peace.
Bobby is gonna be gone for a good while. He cant pay that 2 mill. His career gonna be over real quick.
another example of this government tactics to infiltrate hip hop & fill their prisons. if you ain’t talking about the prison industrial complex or the face that black folks barely had any guns or knew what a drug was & were terrified of white people & that somehow just “magically” turned around in favor of “white america” then you support this evil & you are absurdly ignorant. i never heard one song from this dude but maybe a snippet of hot nigga but free bobby & mumia & free em all.
LOL can you say delusional. i guess anytime a black man breaks the law its whiteys fault. even if that black man is a rich and famous entertainer who doesn’t need to be breaking the law any more.
de-lu-sion-al, yep I can say it. & I blatently said the government, as in the group in which governs the mentality of a population, not this whitey character you speak of. black & white actually do not exist beyond a socially constructed idea. as humans we seem to only differ in out body structures & levels of melanin. this is why i put white america in quotations because I’m using these terms as reference words to reach to those who don’t yet understand the inter connectivity of all organisms.
OMG The evil government locked up some crack dealing killers to make the streets safer for everyone! What the hell is wrong with them! Lets all go protest and loot! I need a new flat screen, anyone need anything? I wish this evil government would stop oppressing these young black entrepreneurs and just let them sell crack to their own communities and kill each other with illegal guns. It’s just not fair.
yawn try again
[i] i aint know we could do this shit on here [/i]
lol bruh i didn’t either all i did is place an asterisk before & after yawn & it came out like that.
that shits *cray lets be friends
Rap snitches, telling all their business / Sit in the court and be their own star witness / Do you see the perpetrator? – Yeah, I’m right here / Fuck around, get the whole label sent up for years
Hell, yeah exactly what I was thinking. Shout out to the I.C
That song by MF Doom is too funny, I forget who was the guy who had the 2nd verse tho
funny how “fans” don’t wanna listen to or support that “struggle rap” because it don’t pop in the clubs or is popular but when dudes get bagged you all about righteous ways & actions. Lot of you are a bunch of hypocrites and VERY MUCH at fault for guys like this, because they’re trying to please YOU CLOWNS.
amen
This Bobby The Clown was a horrible rapper anyway, one of the worst rappers to ever step foot in the game. The so called rappers coming into the game now just keep getting worse and worse, no talent whatsoever. Back in the days we grew up with legends like Bid Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, Rakim, Kool G Rap etc. Nowadays kids are growing up with dudes like “Bobby Shmurda”, what a joke hip-hop music/culture has become!
these kids dont look at it as an art form anymore. now rap is just another hustle to them and a way to get money and fame. hhdx put up an interview with asap rocky recently where he spoke on it.
Juicy j said in his hot n* freestyle “watch that shit you write”
phone taps, informants, guns and drug possession, guns jamming, shooting at opp on the block, bobby shooting into crowd, bobby, shooting at the bros, shooting at rival gangs… sounds like some shit from the wire
nigga dumb af. thats wtut happens when u confess to killing ppl and selling crack in ur own fuckin song.
fuck this stupid uncle tom nigga
Hes stupid for doin shit like this and possibly getting life behind bars. But at least he is real. He doin the shit he’s spittin, cant say that for 90% of these rappers.
Well, I guess he has something to hang his hat on for the rest of his life. When he’s tea bagging some 450 pound skinhead in the prison soup kitchen he can say “At least I’m real”. Fuck outta here with that ‘real’ shit. Snitching on yourself and your crew is not ‘real’, it’s just real fuckin’ stupid.
What I find embarrassing are the black ppl saying free Bobby shmurda and Rebel, As a black man Myself I’m glad these guys are off the streets someone will probably not get killed now or lose a family member. These guys are the reason why us Black Ppl are constantly killed or stereo typed. I’m happy he’s gone and the rest of them too. Anybody who supports ppl like these are idiots. White ir black or whatever ethnicity they should be thrown in jail for shit like this. You have a chance to turn your life around and this is what you do?? Good karma cya think about what your life could of been when your missing out rotting in jail.
hahaha those that are saying that is either a NIGGA or someone that follow. you, like myself are black men. These were some niggas.. two different ethnicity!
MC EIHT – TAKE 2 WITH ME = CLASSIC SONG ABOUT THE NEW YORK POLICE MADE IN 1994 OFF THE ALBUM WE COMES TRAPPED .
COMPTONS MOST WANTED – ONE TIME GAFFLED EM UP = CLASSIC SONG OFF THE ALBUM IT’S A COMPTON THANG ABOUT THE POLICE .
MC EIHT AND CMW = TRUE ARTIST RESPECT
Glad they got these goons off the streets.
