After denying rumors about being stabbed and talking about fellow inmates showing support, Shmurda 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 have 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)

Reports this week 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 “It’s our understanding that the suretor has withdrawn and that no hearing is currently scheduled,” said Kati Cornell, a spokeswoman for the office.

Recent reports claimed Shmurda’s bail would be reviewed by the city.

Bobby Shmurda, the spark-plug Brooklyn rapper, has posted $2 million bail after spending more than six weeks in jail on gun and drug charges related to allegations of a gang conspiracy, his attorney said on Friday. The city will now have up to 72 hours to review the bail package, which was arranged with the help of Ira Judelson, a bail bondsman known for his high-profile clients, including the rappers Ja Rule and DMX.

  1. Don’t get it twisted. They tryna take your life away cuz you did a bunch of illegal shit then rapped about it in a song

  2. Wait…. what he get in trouble for??? Excuse me, nigga don’t confuse me! He indicted himself! #DUMMY

  3. Hate to see equals in the beast, but wasn’t he trying to take others lives away by way of violent means? Ijs, hope he gets out and change some things up yell

  4. this nigga was dancing like a coon for the record label. now they aint even gonna bail his ass out

  5. All ya some haters. Glad to see a brother and jail and talking shit. If you not gonna show support or wish the best why comment?

    • A brother that put himself in jail for doing dumb shit garners no sympathy from me, and apparently I’m not alone.

      • My thing is why do you care though? The reason you come off as a hater is because you can easily bypass this page altogether but instead it seems you’re happy he’s in jail.

        As for whether or not he’s guilty of his crimes none of us know that at all. Him saying some dude he roles with hold guns and get busy with glocks isn’t an admission to any one specific crime that they can prosecute him for so we don’t know if he’s guilty of what he was accused of or not. I rather pray the brother gets some knowledge and good guidance, but that’s just me.

    • So basically you cosign the shit HE got himself into? Not a hater at all! Just not supporting the stupid shit niggas get themselves in! But you can call what you want, I JUST CALL IT LIKE I SEE IT! I TELL IT LIKE IS AND YOU TELL IT HOW IT MIGHT BE! #MOTEAPLEASE

      • Yawn. Sohh is not the sight for logical or intellectual reasoning. Please quote where I said or implied that I co-sign what he got himself into.

        We don’t know the facts, and even if he is guilty, I prefer to wish guidance and knowledge for the brother rather than hopping online just to laugh at someone while they are down. Ya’lll are corny as shit for that. Remember Malcolm X was once Detroit Red. Carrying guns, robbing people, selling weed, and burglarizing.

  6. its true,,he might come off as a knucklehead,,and the song had lyics bout crime,,but nobody on here knows what he is guilty of,,theres hardly ever a reason for celebrating a brother gettn locked down,,yall know bout da hiphop cops etc etc,,but hating is the thing now,,,dudes luv suge tho,,,krazy
