Bobby Shmurda Says Jail Is “Survival Of The Fittest”

    As he approaches the two-month mark since he was originally arrested in December, Bobby Shmurda recently spoke with Billboard from behind bars to update fans on his status and rumors about the possibility of his securing a bail package.

    Together with a handful of his fellow GS9 members, Shmurda currently faces more than 100 charges including multiple counts of conspiracy, weapons possession, and reckless endangerment stemming from a December 17 arrest.

    Speaking with Billboard, Shmurda quickly dispelled rumors that he was stabbed or critically injured in a jail brawl.

    “It’s nothing but rumors, man,” he said. “I’m good. Everybody knows I’m good. I’m chilling. We over here — we over here thugging it out, man.”

    Still, Shmurda described life in jail as “survival of the fittest” before commenting on his behind-bars celebrity.

    “I get a lot of love in here,” he said. “Every time I walk the halls, I see people and they yell out, ‘Ah Ah!’ or something.”

    Shmurda also said that during his court appearances he looks at the judge and District Attorney as though they’re targeting him for his success.

    “When I see the judge and the DA, I just see a bunch of people [who are] trying to take my life away for being blessed,” he said. “That’s what I look at when I look at them. It looks like a bunch of haters.”

    As for his bail package, Shmurda alluded to the state’s $2 million requirement as biased.

    “We’re trying, but right now I think the DA and the judge and everyone in the court is being biased,” he said when asked about his possibility of making bail. “It’s so crazy. The favoritism, yeah. They don’t have no evidence, no nothing on me for the bill to be so high. I haven’t been out for a year, I haven’t been around for a year. So I didn’t make two million dollars! [Laughs] They gave me a bill they know I can’t pay. We can pay the 10 percent. And we tried to pay the 10 percent and they told us collateral. And every time we go for bail, it’s something new.”

    Still, Shmurda said that he’s remained in contact with artists like Meek Mill, French Montana, and Migos before offering a positive message for his fans.

    “Keep your head up,” he said. “Everybody goes through tough times and good times. You know what, tough times don’t last forever. I say, God makes his toughest battles for his strongest soldiers.”

      1. Yeah, but P is still around spitting his flows. And a few years from now, Shmurda will be a memory no one knows.

    1. “I just see a bunch of people [who are] trying to take my life away for being blessed,” he said. “That’s what I look at when I look at them. It looks like a bunch of haters.”…. No Robert they’re going after you because of that long list of serious charges against you, same with the bail amount. Don’t do the crimes if you can’t do the time…

    2. Strongest soldiers? Bruh (using the term lightly now), you were shaking your ass like a female stripper in a room full of Caucasians just to get a deal. Did we miss something here?

    3. I like how he made a comment about finishing up that deal he signed with Epic. I guess he knows he signed a bogus deal with a label that doesn’t care about him and won’t even bail him out.

    4. “trying to take my life away for being blessed,”.. No bobby, the police was watching your ass for 2 years, long before your lil dance blew up and you became “blessed”

    5. Love him or hate him, at least Shmurda and his crew are real niggas. None of that fake shit. A lot of times people mistake industry speak with hood certification. This nigga do what he raps about.

      1. yeah he raps about what he was doing and basically snitched on his whole team in songs now wants to cry about the system hating on him for being blessed LOL

      2. Then his dumb-ass deserves to be behind bars where he belongs, and actual bars because he sure as hell can’t kick any nice ones in rap.

    6. I respect rappers who serve time and understand the street codes. Prison is where ever black man should spend time at before locking down these streets. I did a dime and then just finishing doing another 3yr. I had to ride for my homie on the outside who facing an L. It built my cred in the streets up and in that pen. I hope he gets out. I’d trade places to see my homies again. Also my seed is locked down learning how to be a man. One love. Evil God

      1. Prison is where Ricky Rozay the biggust bawse spent his time at before locking down the streets and the rap game.

    7. His crew shot an innocent woman in the neck and back. In the same shootout one of the niglets shot his homie in the shoulder by accident so they missed all their targets and hit an innocent and 1 of their own. Bobby also shot a gun in public at his own flesh and blood brother.

      1. you trying a court case on an internet forum with no evidence, no jury, and you ain’t a cop nor a lawyer. that’s how sad you look yapping right now, LOL………let the system do their job and shut up

      2. The Nigga is a Dumb ass and is a perfect fit to where he is at, Straight stupid, how much time you going to hear and tell these niggas america dont like young rich black male, so watch how you move, ass holes

    8. What

      The Nigga is a Dumb ass and is a perfect fit to where he is at, Straight stupid, how much time you going to hear and tell these niggas america dont like young rich black male, so watch how you move, ass holes
