Bobby Shmurda, legally Ackquille Pollard.After spending nearly seven years in prison, Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda is heading home. Legal name Ackquille Pollard, the viral artist was freed on February 23, 2021, after prison officials determined that he was eligible for a conditional release. Pollard will still serve out the rest of his term under parole supervision. His release reunites him with his collaborator Rowdy Rebel (Chad Marshall), who was freed from state prison two months ago. The two men, along with Nicholas “Flea Montana” McCoy pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and fourth-degree conspiracy. Prosecutors argued that the group of burgeoning hip-hop musicians, who called themselves GS9, were engaged in gang violence with several other crews in Brooklyn. Bobby Shmurda has already met up with Quavo of the Migos, who took a private jet to pick him up, and made sure to FaceTime his family. “I am so overwhelmed,” his mom, Leslie Pollard, wrote on Instagram. “And in 6 years 2 months and 5 days and 5.5hrs, I finally feel like myself again” Here’s what Bobby Shmurda has been up to since his release him from prison.
