Bobby Shmurda and the GS9 crew, there in the studio, doing what they do right.
And thats when police officers rush the studio, they snatched up Bobby Shmurda.
Police arrested Rowdy Rebel, Bobby Shmurda and also 12 other GS9 members after what they're
calling a successful sting operation that removed a menacing gang from the streets.
Bobby Shmurda decided to cop a plea deal.
He will get 7 years in prison and 5 years probation.
That's why I...
I like to tell a lot of the young kids that's in the streets you know what I'm saying, can't
look bad and be bad.
Bobby Shmurda has been behind bars for almost 6 years now.
The now 26 year old rapper from East Flatbush, Brooklyn was taken into custody all the way
back in December 2014 and was held inside Rikers Island while awaiting his trial.
It wasn’t until September 2, 2016 when Bobby Shmurda eventually accepted a plea deal that
gave him a 7 year sentence with two years of credit given to Bobby for the time he already
served.
Once his sentence is completed, Bobby Shmurda is required to be on probation for 5 whole
years.
When the sentence was first given to Bobby, his lawyers thought for sure that he would
be out in 3 and a half years, which later led to the entire internet thinking Bobby
Shmurda would be released in December of 2020.
But unfortunately, Bobby Shmurda’s release was denied on September 21, 2020 for multiple
reasons.
Curious on what Bobby Shmurda could have possibly done to prevent him from getting parole?
Well then we’ve got you covered.
Here is an exclusive inside look at Bobby Shmurda’s Life Behind Bars.
On December 17, 2014, Bobby Shmurda along with 14 other GS9 members were arrested outside
of the Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan.
For the past two years, Bobby Shmurda and the entire GS9 were under heavy investigation
by the NYPD for various gang related crimes that were committed throughout New York City.
At the time of his arrest, Bobby Shmurda was at the peak of his career, with his music
amassing millions of views online per month as well as receiving co-signs from hip hop
icons such as Drake and Chris Brown.
The charges against Bobby were conspiracy to commit murder, reckless endangerment, drug
possesion, and weapons possesion which are pretty serious.
The 14 others arrested with him all had similar charges with multiple having even worse charges
against them.
Bobby Shmurda was incarcerated for almost two years while awaiting trial which eventually
happened on September 2, 2016 which resulted in Bobby accepting a plea deal that granted
him a 7 year prison sentence with 2 years time served.

So when Bobby Shmurda first got arrested, he was held at Rikers Island in New York.
Rikers Island for those who don’t know, is one big jail compound on top of an island
between the Bronx and Queens, New York.
This jail is one of the most well known jails in all of America with some of its previous
inmates being Tupac who served a 4 and a half year sentence, as well as Lil Wayne and DMX.
During Bobby’s stay in Rikers, he unfortunately got into quite a bit of trouble.
On May 15, 2015, Bobby Shmurda got into an altercation with 5 other inmates which resulted
in multiple guards having to rush in and spray them with pepper spray just to break the group
up.
It is unknown exactly what caused this incident but jail officials believe that it was some
type of Crips vs. Bloods situation which is possible since Bobby Shmurda is affiliated
with the Crips.
There didn’t seem to be any direct punishments at the time for this altercation but it definitely
didn’t help Bobby’s case at all.
A month later, Bobby Shmurda found himself in another sticky situation after his girlfriend,
Kimberly Rousseau, attempted to give Bobby a knife on June 21, 2015.
According to multiple news outlets, jail guards spotted Bobby Shmurda’s girlfriend putting
a sharp object inside a white latex balloon wrapped in electrical tape from her shirt
to give to Bobby during a visitation session.
This situation added 3 more charges to Bobby Shmurda’s case with the charges being - weapons
possession, promoting prison contraband, and perjury.
The perjury charge allegedly stems from Bobby lying about the incident to a grand jury.
Bobby was eventually sentenced to 4 years for these charges but luckily was able to
have the sentence run concurrently with his 7 year sentence so he wouldn’t have to face
any additional time.
Bobby stayed out of trouble for the most part after that incident… that was until November
of 2016, just a month after he was officially sentenced to 7 years, Bobby got into another
prison brawl.
The details of this are mostly unknown but it was confirmed that Bobby Shmurda unfortunately
got punished for the brawl this time around.
According to the media, the brawl led to Bobby Shmurda being sent to solitary confinement
for about a month.
It was also revealed that he had his phone and commissary privileges taken away for an
unknown amount of time.
After Bobby got out of solitary confinement, the courts decided to move him to the Clinton
Correctional Facility in upstate New York where he would finish off the rest of his
sentence in protective custody.
From what I gathered during my research, Bobby seems to spend a lot of his time reading,
writing music, and working out.
It is also well known that he spends a lot of time on the phone talking with family and
friends.
He even recorded a verse for 6ix9ine’s song “Stoopid” which unfortunately aged terribly
due to 6ix9ine’s antics.
In 2017, TMZ revealed that Bobby Shmurda spends a large majority of his time working in the
prison commissary, where he helps receive and process commissary items, as well as prepare
them for delivery to the other inmates.
Bobby apparently makes around 10 - 25 cents a day doing this which is definitely far less
than what he’s used to, but I’m pretty sure he’s not doing it for the money since
I guarantee that Bobby Shmurda has a lot of money on his books.
Overall, the move from Rikers Island to the Clinton Correctional Facility seems to be
for the best since Bobby hasn’t been in any trouble as of lately.
Bobby Shmurda is set to be released on December 11, 2021, despite the rumors that he is getting
out this year.
Just a few weeks ago the internet went wild after false reports were made that claimed
Bobby was going to be released soon due to his parole hearing on August 18, 2020.
This parole hearing ended up getting delayed for an unknown reason but eventually happened
on September 21, 2020.
During the hearing, Bobby Shmurda was denied parole, despite the fact that he has been
staying out of trouble for several years now.
The reason for denial wasn’t published as far as I can tell, but I am almost certain
that it had something to do with the 11 violations Bobby has racked up since his incarceration.
And even if he was granted parole, he still wouldn’t have been released until December
11, 2020, not the same day as the hearing like other hip hop fans thought.
But with it being denied, Bobby is now required to be held until the expiration date on his
sentence, which is December 11, 2021…
Over 1 year away from now.
Bobby Shmurda is still in good spirits and plans to take over the hip hop game once released.
That is all I have for today, I’m out!
