Bobby Shmurda Released From Prison After Serving Six Years

Bobby Shmurda has officially been released from prison.

On Monday, Feb. 22, news broke that Shmurda, born Ackquille Jean Pollard, would be getting a conditional release date, according to TMZ. With his release date being ten months earlier than scheduled, the decision made by the Time Allowance Committee, which included prison staff and not the parole board, was made after reviewing Shmurda’s “behavior and participation in prison programs.”

When released, the “Hot N*gga” rapper will be on supervised parole. However, if the Brooklyn native gets in trouble, he is to serve is full sentence, ending Dec. 11, 2021.

Shmurda was previously denied parole back in September after having violations in prison, including being caught with a “sharp metal object” on Rikers Island, along with drug possession and fighting.

In 2016, Shmurda took a global plea deal alongside Chad “Rowdy Rebel” Marshall, where he pleaded guilty to 4th-degree conspiracy, which carried a sentence of 1-3 years, and 2nd-degree criminal weapons possession, which carried a sentence of 7 years. Shmurda has served six years behind bars and will be on parole until December 2026.

Rowdy Rebel was released on Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2020.

Shmurda took to Instagram Stories Monday to thank his fans “for remaining loyal” throughout his prison sentence.”I love you all and look forward to seeing you all soon,” he continued.

The rapper was picked up by Migos’ rapper, Quavo. He told Billboard, “I’m going to get my guy. I’m personally gonna go pick up Bobby Shmurda. I’m bout to go get him. I’m gonna let him show you how I’m gonna pick him up, yessir.”
