Bobby Shmurda is still in prison, according to a Rikers Island representative.
The rapper (born Ackquille Jean Pollard), is currently being held in the NYC jail’s West Facility, which contains the department’s Contagious Disease Unit (CDU).
Despite multiple rumors alleging that the Brooklyn-bred rapper had been released, law enforcement sources tell HipHopDX that Pollard remains in Rikers’ West Facility in East Elmhurt, New York.
According to the source, Pollard was admitted into the West Facility December 19, two days after reports say he was apprehended by police at Quad Studios in midtown Manhattan.
Yesterday (January 5), an Instagram video shared by aspiring singer Yung Relle captured the “Hot Boy” rapper clutching his gold chain, saying “I’m back baby.”
The caption also claimed that Shmurda had been released. “My Bro Is Back,” he wrote, along with the hashtags “#DontTellNobody, #bobbyshmurda and #Yungrelle.”
Pollard was initially indicted on charges including reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon, conspiracy to commit murder in the second degree and criminally using drug paraphernalia.
The bail for Pollard was set at $2 million. If convicted, he will face up to 25 years in prison.
Pollard’s attorney, Howard Greenberg, could not be reached for comment.

West Facility – Contagious Disease Unit (WF)
Opened in the fall of 1991, it was designed to be an 940-bed facility constructed of Sprung Structures- rigid aluminum framed structures covered by a heavy-duty plastic fabric. Part of the West Facility was converted into the Department’s Contagious Disease Unit (CDU) center in which 140 specially air-controlled housing units are reserved for male and female inmates with contagious diseases such as tuberculosis. With the exception of the CDU, West Facility is operationally off-line and in reserve status at present.
so how did he perform on bet on new years eve? lol

real niggas mayne
This misguided young man played with fire and got burn ,that one song had a nice beat but the title and the lyrics was 100% GARBAGE! These labels need to be held accountable for promoting garbage and filth to the youth who ever sign him should be in jail and the label sued !
Is it the labels responsibility when we all know without a doubt that they (the record labels) are chasing a dollar? Or should we really be more angry at the artists who turn themselves into ammunition for the “war machine”? If I had 1 stone to throw and both the record labels and rappers who rap about the “dumb shit” were standing in front of me, who should get that stone?
I personally place more accountability and responsibility upon the shoulders of the rappers.
