Bobby Shmurda has to remain on the straight and narrow for quite some time per the terms of his parole conditions.
TMZ revealed in a report on Wednesday (March 23) the newly-released rap star will remain on parole for five years with an end date of February 23, 2026. In addition to an 8 p.m. curfew, Shmurda also has submit to substance abuse testing (so no weed or alcohol) and undergo counseling for aggression and anger. He’s also required to maintain a job – but he’s clearly got that part under control.
Since being released from his six-year bid in February, the Brooklyn native has been booked and busy. During All-Star Weekend in Atlanta earlier this month, Shmurda was tapped as host at multiple parties throughout the city and made sure to get in the studio with super-producers Zaytoven and Mike WiLL Made-It as well. And if proof was needed the public had been anticipating his arrival – his breakout 2014 hit “Hot N-gga” was certified 5x-platinum by the Recording Industry of America (RIAA) the day he walked out of prison.
Speaking to GQ for his first post-prison interview, Shmurda revealed it was his fans’ enthusiasm while behind bars that inspired him to continue his rap career.
“I didn’t really care too much for it until I went to jail and I seen how the fans were loyal,” he said. “I can’t name a week that I didn’t see at least 10 [pieces] of fan mail, throughout the whole bid.”

He about to be Poo Smoked
Lets be real here… glad hes not locked up anymore but that dude SUCKS as a rapper
Good thing he’s not a rap star then.
Good one.
So basically his whole comeback is screwed. He has to be home by 8 pm every night for 5 years. No live performances, no tours, just whatever streaming sales make. And whatever company signs him has to keep him hot for 5 years with just youtube videos. Good luck lol…
He has to be home by 8pm if he isn’t working aka not doing shows or being a host.
