G-Unit head 50 Cent may have stirred up a big debate by questioning music label Epic Records for not posting up a $2 million bail to have their artist Bobby Shmurda released from jail.
Curtis Jackson singled out the label in a new interview over Shmurda’s jailed status.
“You know what I’d really like to see? That check from Epic. Why they didn’t get Bobby out? Why they didn’t bail Bobby out? They got money on the man why they didn’t bail him out?” (Shade 45)

After denying rumors about being stabbed and talking about fellow inmates showing support, Shmurda recently spoke on his bail woes.
“Uhhh… We’re trying, but right now I think the DA and the judge and everyone in the court is being biased. 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.” (Billboard)
Shmurda also talked about what music stars had kept in touch.
“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. That’s what I look at when I look at them. It looks like a bunch of haters. … I talked to Meek [Mill]. I talked to French [Montana]. I talked to Migos. I stay in contact with people. … [To my fans], keep your head up. 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.” (Billboard)
Recent reports revealed Shmurda would have to remain in jail until his next hearing in April.
A $2 million bail package application posted Friday on behalf of the 20-year-old Brooklyn rapper, who is facing an array of gang conspiracy charges, was pulled on Wednesday, the office of the special narcotics prosecutor for New York City said. “It’s our understanding that the suretor has withdrawn and that no hearing is currently scheduled,” said Kati Cornell, a spokeswoman for the office.

Free Shmuder!
hey probably figured they weren’t going to make the money back.
bobby aint even worth 200k to epic . . so that deal is a wrap.
Get a life loser

50 why don’t you bail him out since you so worried you got that 2 mill
He’s a felon he couldn’t if he wanted too.
Forgot he has a felony record
Still wouldn’t be hard to get that $ Bobby lawyer
Maybe but I thought and I could be wrong Bobby said that the state is shutting down all avenues regarding who’s front’n that bail money…in other words they background checking the lenders.
Well, if that’s the case …. then it sucks to be him right now ……
5 not the felon Young Buck and Yayo are
50 was convicted on felony cocaine and heroin charges at age 19 slim.
And he 38 now. Canada dnt allow felons in.. Buck & Yay couldn’t join Banks, Drake, Kidd etc.. At ovo in t.dot bc of it
exactly, 50 aint doing it for the same reason the label aint doing it? Smurda aint got the talent to make back that money and then some…
Lol..that lil nigga in a contract with epic that’s y 50 ain’t go get him
Exactly lol… That’s a shot at epic and at the shmoney team.. Nigga shoulda got down with fif… You fuckin with Mardi Gras tomorrow!?..
Nigga why u aint bail Bang Em Smurf out back when Get Rich sold like 8 mil??? After he handled niggas for you.
Yep.
cause Shmurda cant make hits consistently! the hype alone MIGHT cover 2 mil but thats it.most dopeboys aint got enough artistic material to get past 1 album.being PROLIFIC is what separates fakes from real Artists.
IF you do the crime, you have to do the Time… Sad, but true.. Go to school kids, and stay off them streets.
