Convicted American rapper Bobby Shmurda is gearing up for his release from prison. In an interview with Billboard published Monday 22nd February, Migos rapper Quavo revealed he’ll be picking up Shmurda from prison, following his release on Tuesday 23rd February.
“Am going to get my guy,” said Quavo. “I’m personally gonna go pick up Bobby Shmurda. I’m bout to go get him. Gonna let him show you how I’m gonna pick him up, yessir.”
And according to Quavo, the viral hip-hop sensation is already looking forward to his return to music.” It’s gonna be big,” he said.
In 2016, Shmurda, a rapper once on the rise thanks to a viral 2014 music video that popularised the “Shmoney dance,” was sentenced to seven years in prison after a guilty plea on charges he conspired with a violent drug gang (a plea he claimed he was railroaded into taking). According to New York’s Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, he is set for a conditional release from prison on Tuesday 23rd February.
