From NBC New York, where you can read the full story:

Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda, already in prison on a gang conspiracy conviction, has been sentenced in a contraband case in which he took a homemade knife from his girlfriend while she visited him at Rikers Island, prosecutors say.

The “Shmoney dance” rapper, whose birth name is Ackquille Pollard, was sentenced to one and a third to four years in prison Friday, to run concurrent with the seven years he’s currently serving in the gang war conviction.

As seen on HNHH:

Bobby Shmurda associate Santino Broderick isn’t happy with Justice Abraham Clott.

The prison industrial complex is alive and well this week, as Bobby Shmurda associate Santino Broderick received an astounding 117 1/2 to 130 years in prison yesterday. Based on the lengthy sentence, you’d assume Broderick AKA Cueno has been convicted of multiple grisly murder charges. That isn’t the case here, as the GS9 member was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and multiple additional felonies, crimes painted painted by the prosecution as gang-related violence.

Understandably, Broderick was distraught in court, cussing out Justice Abraham Clott, who reportedly remained calm throughout. Some of the phrases Broderick threw at the judge included “suck my dick” and “fuck yourself.”

In a statement released yesterday, Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget G. Brennan said the following:

“Santino Broderick was convicted of multiple incidents involving shocking violence, and which reflected utter disregard for human life … The sentence imposed on him today will protect the community, and appropriately punish behavior that terrorized countless innocent people.”

Spotted on The FADER:

Bobby Shmurda was denied bail today by New York City judge Abraham Clott. Judge Clott told the court that he sees “no substantive change” in Shmurda and is “satisfied that the case is extraordinarily serious.” Shmurda’s attorney Alex Spiro told The FADER that the rapper and his family are “frustrated” and have been raising questions regarding why he isn’t being helped.

Shmurda has now been denied bail seven times since his December 17 2014 arrest on drugs and weapons charges. It was reported before his last appearance in December that his family got together a new bail package, but that was turned down as well. Late last month, controversial pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli told HipHopDX that he planned to bail Shmurda out of jail.

Shmurda’s next court date is tentatively scheduled for February 22 which is when he will go to trial for several charges brought against him after a woman some reported was his girlfriend reportedly tried to sneak him a knife while behind bars. Last week in court, Shmurda’s lawyer raised questions about the involvement of some of the case’s arresting officers.

UPDATE: Denied again. Hopefully, he’ll catch a break next month.

From TMZ:

Bobby Shmurda finally has a slight glimmer of hope — his legal team has a plan to spring the rapper from jail as early as Thursday.

Sources close to the case tell TMZ … Shmurda’s family has stepped forward to offer up collateral for his $2 million bond. Most notably, Bobby’s aunt has put several properties on the line to help set the rapper free. We’re told the family has been working closely with NY bondsman Ira Judelson.

As for why Bobby’s team feels this bail package will be approved? We’re told they’ve put together a 200 page document that details the source of every single penny, and it’s essentially “bulletproof.” His camp is pushing to present its case to a judge ASAP.

Bobby Shmurda recently called Ebro and HOT 97 from prison (along with his mother) to address issues about his bail. He also speaks on why the youth shouldn’t look at his situation like it’s sweet.

From Page Six:

Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda lost yet another bid for bail Monday in advance of his upcoming drug-dealing and weapons-possession trial in Manhattan.

The 21-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Ackquille Pollard, has been incarcerated since his arrest in December, when the judge set bail of $2 million.

The rising Epic Records artist is being repped by a new lawyer, Alex Spiro of the high-powered law firm Brafman & Associates. Spiro appeared in court for the case Monday for the first time.

During the hearing, Judge James Burke set a new trial date of Feb. 22, but Spiro objected to the further delay and asked for his client to be released pending the trial.

But Special Narcotics Prosecutor Nigel Farinha argued that there had already been at least four bail applications that had been denied and that the case had only gotten stronger. He cited Shmurda’s ties to Florida and net worth of half a million dollars.

Burke denied the bail request.

Shmurda and 14 other alleged GS9 gangsters were arrested Dec. 17, 2014, in connection with a drug and firearm ring, several brazen public shootings and the murder of a 19-year-old rival, court records show.

Only months earlier, Shmurda’s 2014 single “Hot Boy” shot to No. 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 charts.

From NY Daily News:

Bobby Shmurda has “Shmoney Danced” himself into trouble once again.

The “Hot Boy” rapper — who is already in jail facing massive gun and drug trafficking charges — was arrested on Rikers Island after his girlfriend was seen slipping him a shank during a visit, officials said Saturday.

The 20-year-old Shmurda, whose real name is Ackquille Pollard, was busted June 21 after a guard allegedly saw Kimberly Rousseau, 18, pull a black latex glove balloon wrapped in black electrical tape out of her bra and hand it to him. The guard opened the balloon and found a “sharpened metal object” according to a criminal complaint.

Shmurda, whose “Shmoney Dance” went viral online, and his gal pal were charged with promoting prison contraband.

He is currently being held on $2 million bail for allegedly being the “driving force” behind a violent street crew responsible for a number of shootings and drug sales.

From BET:

Being walked out in handcuffs, Bobby Shmurda appeared emotionless entering the Manhattan Supreme Criminal Court in New York City on Thursday.

With a plethora of family, friends and GS9 affiliates all in attendance, the “Hot N***a” rapper moved swiftly to the stand awaiting the hearing’s word while his lawyer Kenneth Montgomery stood tall and seemingly confident beside him.

Prosecutors announced that they were offering him a plea deal of eight years in prison for second-degree possession of a weapon followed by five years of probation [In related news, Rowdy Rebel was offered seven]. As the announcement was made, the rapper’s family appeared to be distraught. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison.

Montgomery informed reporters that he has to talk to his client about whether he would accept the deal, but “maintained his innocence.” He added that the two still need to “sit down and have a meaningful conversation.”

Prosecutors backed up their seemingly harsh plea deal by informing the judge that Bobby had been re-arrested while in Rikers Island for possession of a sharpened metal object.

When he exclusively spoke to BET.com last week, Montgomery said that prosecutors are looking to make an example out of the rapper.

“Obviously him and Rowdy are two people who the government is going to take a hard position saying, ‘You know what? We’re not offering them anything or we’re going to offer them something extremely high to put them in a trial posture because of the publicity of the case.”

Shmurda’s trial date has been set for Oct. 5. The judge made it clear that this would be a long-winded trial, one expected to span over two months.
