After voicing his frustrations on social media and claiming he doesn’t have control of his own music, Bobby Shmurda is finally a free man, artistically speaking. On Thursday (March 24), the Brooklyn rapper took to his Instagram Story to drop the bombshell news that he’s secured his release from Epic Records.
According to his post, Bobby was able to sign release papers with the label and can now drop music whenever he wants. He also made it known that he made $1 million the same day, giving him another excuse to celebrate.
“Attention to alll Shmurda fans aka The Shmurdas,” Bobby wrote alongside a picture of him on a boat. “I just sign my release papers also jus made ah milly today I can’t wait to drop s/o my n-gga @trulife ahh ahh ahh my n-gga I’m shooting my 1st independence video today called getting em back we celebrating all week in KODS pop out nd Monday Starlets.”
The “Shmoney” rapper exposed his label issues in December 2021 with a since-deleted Instagram post explaining the reason behind the slow process of him dropping new music. According to Bobby, he had zero control over his music.
“I ain’t been in charge of my music since I was 19 years old and I just turned 27 and honestly idk when shit dropping,” he wrote. “So don’t ask me shit go ask them mf’s since they wanna control everything!!!!!!!”
Bobby Shmurda returned two months later with another post-and-delete directly calling out Epic Records and its CEO, music industry legend Sylvia Rhone. The rapper said he had a great relationship with Rhone, but couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t let him out of his contract.

Just let me gooo.”
He continued in his caption, “This is not a cry for help this is a message and understanding for my fans that they stopping my music and prolonging my career I been holding shit down doing everything on my own since I been home,” Bobby wrote in the caption. “It’s been ah year now I still fee like I’m in prison and by the way the Album’s done ready to live pleaseeeeeeeee I need them to let me goooooooo!!! #FreeShmurda.”
Now that he’s free, fans will be looking to see how serious Bobby Shmurda is with his music after all that venting. He was working on his debut studio album throughout the commotion, but it’s unclear if the project is finished or when it’s set to come out.
Good. hopefully that’s the last we hear from Bobby. It’s a big world and lots of ways to be a success. If he truly has the heart and the will to be successful in rap as an emcee doors will open for him again
Epic probably get a piece of all his future records. Freedom aint free
Now he’s free to be Bobby Buttcheeks and be as gay as he wants to be cuz all that gay ass dancing shit he’s been doing ain’t what anyone wants to see. He’ll have no one to blame for his failures but himself from now on.
More rapping and less cheek clapping. He’s done more bitchin than anything else. Then again his rapping skills were not that good to begin with so maybe it just best if he pursues other endeavors outside of rap like being a male stripper since he likes dancing so much.
sound like a bitch yourself so happy to talk about what you think a next man might be doing in private. all these lurid descriptions of what you imagine a next man is up to. mad sus
Only SuS person is you. Why are you defending this fruity pebble and obviously sounding pretty offended? I’m sorry, Did I hurt your feelings? Takes some Preparation H and STFU. On here getting all emotional about somebody making fun of Bobby. Are you sleeping with him, is he paying you cuz no straight grown man would give a damn about another grown man’s business so go ahead and cry away, bitch.
you sound like some kind of aaron hernandez clown with these aggressive rants about your sex preferences
And you remind me of Lil Nas X. You were always lame AF but hid the fact that you’re gay until later and now are only using it for your benefit. You Pride Warrior take care of your own. I get it. I’ll stop picking on Bobby. I don’t need the Alphabet Mafia to try to cancel me too. They might start cancelling all my favorite shows if I don’t stop so you win. The victory is your ABC warrior.
Sounds like you’re taking this personal.lol Don’t get mad at me because I’m telling the truth. Or is it cuz Bobby Shmurda is a reflection of you. Since you seem to want to swoop in and be his knight in shining armor then why don’t you tell him that he doesn’t need to rap anymore and you just take care of him then since you want to support that no talent h0m0.
Is this guy really defending Bobby Shmurda? LMAO!!!! Now I’ve seen everything. Hilarious
