While most were opening presents and spending time with their family on Christmas Day, New York rapper Bobby Shmurda was locked up at Rikers Island and presumably doing neither of the aforementioned.
Shmurda is awaiting trial after being arrested and charged with 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. It was originally reported that Epic Records, Bobby’s label, would pay the rapper’s $2 million bail, yet he still imprisoned after 10 days.
Howard Greenberg, Shmurda’s attorney, says he unsuccessfully attempted to visit Shmurda on Christmas Eve and that the government hates rappers.
“The government hates rap and the government hates rappers,” Greenberg told The FADER. “They construct a narrative and add rationalizations to make it seem true. They recruit guiltless and loveless people to whom truth is meaningless and convince them to say what they want to say. These people are jealous of a brother on the way up.”
According to the prosecution, Bobby Shmurda’s lyrics will not be used against him at trial.

Good for him, fucking idiot!
PUSSY. BET YOU WOULDN’T SAY THAT IN HIS FACE. E-THUGGIN AS HOMO.
What the fuck? You think people who are arrested get out for Christmas? Motherfucker, Gucci Mane is spending Christmas in prison too, wanna write an article about that? If you don’t have any news don’t just start writing up bullshit.
The government doesn’t hate rappers. They hate crack dealers and killers who shoot guns off in public places recklessly. Shit the indictment said Bobby shot a gun at his own brother when he was mad at him. If Bobby can’t get bail Rowdy Rebel don’t stand a chance.
….Nas never got this treatment….matter of fact alot of rappers haven’t got this treatment….Jay Z don’t get harassed by the police.
Jay z used to get harassed by NYPD in 1999 around the time of hard knock life was out. But his celebrity and political connection are too high for the crooked pigs to fool with him now in 2014. Google or look up the hip hop cops on youtube.
Not every rapper the same homie….its sad but i mean he’s up on serious charges. If you commit the crime you got to do the time. Bobby is so young man well he ain’t the first rapper to go thru this and probably won’t be the last!!! It’s interesting how people were okay with the lyrics he was spewing in videos but catch feelings when police got him in cuffs, false outrage!!!
HAHAHA HE GOT HIMSELF A MAX B LAWYER. YOUR LAWYER SHOULD NOT BE DOING INTERVIEWS WITH HIP-HOP MEDIA! EPIC DONT GOT 2 MILLION FOR THIS SOMEONE WHO SOLD 4K FIRST WEEK>

Bobby Shmurda’s prison name is Hot Bobby Bitch Nigga, and he’ll be sobbing while he’s performing his dance moves from his videos in front of the bigger prisoners.
fuck this queer i heard he snitch on errbody
Wait. didnt Obama say he like rap, and he got Luda playing on his ipod?. What government is this nigga talking bout.
The city of NYC dumb ass.
While I don’t know this dude personally, I have met a few of his crew, and have observed these dudes over the past year-or-so running around Brooklyn Mostly the ’90’s). While none of the them were likely to become Rhodes Scholars, they literally lost their minds with the success of his one hit song. These attention gathering lightweights have a very bleak future that was squandered on pretending to be gangsters. Real gangster’s don’t roll around with that many pistols. Real gangsters are not very visible, at least in Brooklyn. These lightweights were broadcasting each and every time they went outdoors.
Damn… The government always pick on the dudes that promote guns, drugs and violence towards other people. I think it’s a racial thing.
Bitch you a punk! Hating on the black folk with your sarcastic remarks!
So what if shmurda threatens homie he a killer GS 4 ever
Mr305… Thanks for exposing your own ignorance. I’m not “hating” on black folk, my grandfather is black. I’m “hating” on the idiots that glorify guns, violence, drugs and other criminal activity and then claim racism when they get arrested for possessing illegal guns and drugs. I’m also “hating” on idiots like Bobby Shmurda who are taking HipHop and out right destroying it with lazy, stereotypical lyrical content. Think Talib Kweli likes Bobby Shmurda?
I dont feel sorry for this ignorant lil nigga. He had the keys to the kingdom being signed to a major record label, but his dumb ass had to still be about that hood life. Well now his one hit wonder ass really bout to be about that Life in lockdown.
U right. Sad, Cuz even tho he was getting some shine, he did not break away from the hood. Seem like the money he got, was probably going back to the hood anyway, and if the young man wasnt trying to get his money to get out and better his life, then fuc it! got what he deserve. “NIGGAS”.. damn shame. Should of turn black and got his ass up out the hood.
All this social network and these computers, got these n***** walking round like they some sh*****!!
Who is the lightskin on the left
