Bobby Shmurda called into Hot 97 last week (Oct 23).
Joined by his mother Leslie, the rapper was asked the million dollar question – why has he not been bailed out. Bobby told Hot 97’s Ebro that the reason he’s not yet out on bail is that the courts want ten percent up front, plus collateral to reflect the full $2 million sum. Neither Bobby nor his label Epic Records have been able (or in the latter’s case, willing) to offer that level of collateral.
Nevertheless, he insisted that he’s doing OK at the George Motchan Detention Center (part of New York’s Riker’s Island compound), where he’s currently being detained. “I heard a bunch of rumors about stuff happening to me — ain’t nobody laid a finger on me yet,” he told Ebro.
He also gave a little to youg music loving kids listening. “It’s okay to be in the club and reenact when we’re dancing and having fun,” he concluded. “That’s about it, don’t take it farther than the club. These people not playing with us right now. Young black kids, young kids period. They not playing with nothing right now. They trying to take eight years out my life right now.”
