Plus, Shmurda wrote a message to his followers that was posted on the @realbobbyshmurdags9’s Instagram Story. The 26-year-old GS9 collective member wrote:
My team created this Instagram page after my original page was hacked but thanks to my dedicated fans I manage to get my page verified and also 1 [million] followers without ever being active on this page. Thank you for remaining loyal and for riding this six year sentence out with me. I love you all and look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely, Bod boy Bobby [shushing face emoji] ah ahh ahhh.
In 2016, Bobby Shmurda (born Ackquille Jean Pollard) pled guilty to conspiracy and weapons charges. He was originally sentenced to seven years. Pollard reportedly agreed to more time in state prison in exchange for his longtime friend/co-defendant, Rowdy “Chad Marshall” Rebel, receiving a reduced sentence in his own plea deal.
