Bobby Shmurda is ready to get right to work and hit the studio. According to a TMZ report the rapper plans to start recording new music following his prison release this coming Tuesday.
The New York Department of Corrections updated the Miami rapper’s conditional release date to February 23, 2021 from December 10, 2021 … which is about 10 months earlier than when his sentence was expected to end.
Bobby’s mom, Leslie Pollard, tells TMZ … once Bobby’s released from prison he’ll enjoy an intimate dinner with his family. Leslie says she’s counting down the hours until her son’s release.
She also stated, “Bobby wants to keep it chill. Nothing crazy. He wants to get back to his passion, which of course is music. He’ll devote most, if not all, of his time to creating music again.”
Rowdy Rebel spoke on Bobby Shmurda’s behalf during an interview with Hot 97’s TT Torrez on Shmurda’s release and asked if Shmurda would be joining Rowdy Rebel on the Summer Jam 2021 stage. The rapper replied by sharing, “We definitely gon’ show up to Summer Jam. I normally wouldn’t speak on my brother’s behalf, but I know my brother ain’t gonna miss Summer Jam … Some things are just mandatory, and Summer Jam is mandatory.”
“We have the same relationship that every family has … We argue … but the love overpowers everything, right?” Rowdy shared during the interview. “We’ve been through some things … and we’ve survived those things, so we appreciate it for each other—we’re thankful for each other.”
New York City Police arrested Bobby Shmurda, and he was charged with conspiracy to murder, weapons possession, and reckless endangerment in 2014. In 2016, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to seven years in prison, which was reduced to five years after receiving credit for the two years he already served awaiting trial.
