Bobby Shmurda Says The Judge And DA Are Trying To Take His Life Away

Bobby Shmurda got more bad news last week when it was announced that his $2 million bail application was withdrawn less than a week after his plea hearing in the Manhattan Supreme Court. Shmurda was hoping to be released late last week but remains in New York City's Rikers Island prison hoping to get out on bail soon. Billboard spoke with Shmurda yesterday about his stay in prison and the rapper spoke candidly about being known in jail for "Hot N*gga," and his plans for when he gets out.

Relating to his case, Shmurda revealed that he believes the court system is being biased by denying him his bail even though he can pay the 10% required to get out on bail. Here is an excerpt from the interview:

Your mother and your lawyer are working hard to get you out on bail. Are you hopeful about that?
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

Your last hearing was Jan. 29. What were you thinking in court?
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.

Billboard also asked who he is keeping in touch with on the outside world:

Besides your mother, who have you been in touch with?
I talked to Meek Mill. I talked to French Montana. I talked to Migos. I stay in contact with people.
