Police arrested and sent 27-year-old rapper Bobby Shmurda to prison in 2016 for illegal firearms and conspiracy charges. However, the star was released exactly 10 months earlier than expected due to good conduct and cooperation while doing his prison time. He was in an interview with Variety recently, where he spilled some tea.
Shmurda Brief Historic & 2016 Arrestation
The rapper had quite a tough childhood. His father, Gervase Johnson, went to jail for a life sentence for attempted murder. Growing up, Bobby’s brother Jayese influenced him to start selling cracks. Moreover, both faced accusations of murder, attempted murder, drug trafficking, and holding weapons.
Already on a tough start, the songwriter later went under arrest at the studio Quad Recording. He then came under detention at the correctional facility. According to cops, Shmurda used to be the GS9 gang leader. Law enforcement held this circle accountable for several murders, gunfights, and drug trafficking.
Following this, Bobby Shmurda got a 7-year sentence in prison, later reduced to 5 years. The hip-hop star tried to draw back his plea after calling out his lawyer for having obliged him to take it. Finally, Bobby got out of prison on the 23rd of February 2021.
Shmurda’s Prison Adventures
Miami-born rapper killed time smoking weed and engaged in sexual activities during his time in lockup. He said he ain’t got nothing better to do.
“I got oral sex, didn’t get sex sex,” Shmurda said. “I’m too big to be doing all that other sh*t, ya understand?”
Furthermore, he said he had a lovely time compared to the psych ward, where he couldn’t enjoy all of that.
Fact: Shmurda was diagnosed with ADHD and ADD at 16 years old by his doctor, and only weed helped him deal with his mental disorder or at least cope.
Bobby even tried to set fire to the psych ward at 16 only because the security wouldn’t let him out. That’s quite some nerves. Alongside his little crack-up with guards, Shmurda also had lots of fun dancing with everyone. He played from Spanish to Jamaican music. He made sure not to lose his killing steps.
Arousal of Fame
Before he was locked up, Shmurda gained a lot of fame in the hip-hop realm and soon skyrocketed with his single “Hot N*gga.” After his release, the rapper video “Shmoney dance” gained lots of attention on YouTube and other social platforms. He returned to the studio without losing time and completed his deal with Epic Records.
Lucky enough, he got into contact with Quavo and dropped the “No Time to Sleep” single alongside many more albums. The rapper fought through some bad times, but now, better days seem to be coming ahead, unlocking many opportunities for his career.
