Rapper Bobby Shmurda Spent Christmas in Prison
If you ever have made a ‘Shmoney Dance’ vine, you should probably know that rapper Bobby Shmurda spent Christmas at Rikers Island.
The 20-year-old artist was arrested by NYPD on December 17 and is being charged with conspiracy to commit murder, weapons possession, and reckless endangerment. The NYPD believes that Shmurda is the ringleader of the East Flatbush gang “G Stone Crips,” and that GS9 (the name of his crew) is an abbreviation of the gang name. According to his attorney, Shmurda’s lyrics – which include lines like “I’ve been selling crack since like the 5th grade” – will not be used as evidence against him.
While I write, listening to his music, Shmurda sits in prison with bail set to two million dollars.
