Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda was transferred to a new prison after an attempt on his life last month, reports Bossip.
Allen DeWane, a spokesman for the rapper’s family, said someone attempted to stab Shmurda in prison about a month ago, but that Shmurda felt them coming up on him and got out of the way of the attack.
“These are lowlives,” DeWane said. “They think they can score brownie points if they get a star.”
Shmurda will serve the rest of his sentence in protective custody at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York. The prison, dubbed “Little Siberia” because of its remote location and low temperatures, is in the north of New York state, about 20 miles from the Canadian border. It has previously housed rappers 2Pac, Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Maino, as well as famed mobster Charles “Lucky” Luciano.
It’s also being reported that Shmurda will serve two sentences simultaneously, following a failed attempt to smuggle a shank into New York’s Rikers Island.
Shmurda reportedly appeared in court this week for one count of attempted promoting prison contraband, and was hit with 1.3 to four years that will be served at the same time as his current sentence.
HipHopDX has also confirmed independently through Shmurda’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, that the New York MC is now serving “concurrent time.”
The added sentence comes after Shmurda accepted a plea deal in the shank case, which was first presented to him last December.
If Shmurda hadn’t taken the plea deal, he could have seen seven years for perjury alone.
According to Bossip, Shmurda appeared somber in the courtroom: “His hands were cuffed behind his back, and he was flanked by two armed court officers. The troubled rapper was immediately remanded and put his head down as he was led back to the cells.”
The shank incident took place in 2015 when Kimberly Rousseau, a friend of Shmurda’s, handed him a “sharpened metal object” during a visit to Rikers Island. Rousseau faces legal trouble of her own given that she also pleaded guilty to promoting prison contraband.
The musician, who has been behind bars since 2014, is already serving at least six years due to criminal possession of a weapon and conspiracy charges.
Bobby Shmurda will receive his official sentencing during a court appearance next month.
Word is he snitch like T.I.
yeah ok troll
Funny that you use the word “snitch” when you grew up using the word “tattle-tailing” at your elementary school in Nebraska.
I bet he set that shit up himself so he can get the fuck up outta there.
Bloods are the dominant gang in the NY penal system. I hope one of them, hell anyone for that matter, stabs the fuck outta Sissy Shmurda lol.
Why?
Free Shmurda!!
Stop that Free shit, Idiot.
Pussy.
They tried to stab him….with a DICK!
You would assume he would have protection from gang he repped and went down with?? Not to mention he’s a whole lot richer than most of the population… why can’t he buy protection?? Oh well
His gang was kiddy ass shit with too much money a posse more than a gang they dispersed the second shit got real the fuck you expect from most these pussies nowadays
Damn Shmurda keep your head up bro
I wonder if he is stil proud to be an street nigga
When he gets out he’ll have more street rank and credibility for doing time. He’ll be celebrated. Not saying it’s right, but that’s how it is in the streets.
Isn’t his dad in there? He should be properly training his sprog to adjust to his new natural life.
Shmurda the type of nigga who drop the soap on purpose
GS9 go hard in NYC and in the joint. He’ll be alright, it’s just that there are gonna be times where your niggas can’t be there so you still gotta be hard on your own.
This is what happen when you glamourize the thug life and being a gangsta, lets hope he wake up b4 he get out of prison
I pray life is taken more serious by everyone. We are all born into sin. This young man never had a chance. People say they carry guns for protection. Why not move to a better City. All that money he made come on. Mom’s/dad’s with section 8 can relocate anywhere, but they chose to stay. My heart truly breaks 4 these young people who seem to just not give a darn. We write our own story of life. He is talented of course, but it’s wasted. No 1 returns home from jail/prison the same or the army etc….Please let’s all send a prayer up to our Father 4 everyone that is away from society, the family, kids, friends. Life is hard, but I promise u, you can make it. I’m a witness. Hug your love one’s. Older men teach our youths older women teach our youths. It really does take a village. Sorry 4 the long message, I just want if anything 4 one person to understand YOU CAN MAKE IT..don’t give up. Bobby Shmurda my prayers has your name written on it. Stay strong. Let this be a lesson to all reading this. There is a better way. Find out your direction. Love you all, love your self allllll others. God bless
One wish – Peace on Earth
