New York rapper Ackquille “Bobby Shmurda” Pollard has provided fans with an update on his current situation months after being locked up on a gun possession charge.
According to Shmurda, politics may be playing a large part in his current predicament.
“I’m innocent,” Ackquille Pollard says. His orange jumpsuit stands out from the gray walls of the Manhattan Detention Complex, his smile bright and white and flawless as ever. “I’ll explain it to all of them. I’m just a young black kid coming from a nasty neighborhood. I made it out, and a lot of people don’t want to see that.” (Vulture)
Last month, Shmurda’s defense attorney Kenneth Montgomery talked about his client heading to court over the case.
“I expect—like most of my cases, the thousands of cases that I've had—I expect the judge to have a decision based on a motion that I authored and gave the courts and the prosecutors to respond. And I expect the case to be put on some sort of track for discovery to make sure all the paperwork is turned over. I expect to give a hard drive [to obtain] outstanding videotapes and other discovery that the district attorney has and I expect to get locked in to try to fight this case.” (XXL Mag)
Montgomery also spoke on the possibility of Shmurda being released in the immediate future.
“People have to understand that his bail is $2 million. He’s not a multi-millionaire, so for his bail to be that, any potential suitors must be a good fit. Whoever comes in has to be the right fit. If we can get someone who’s the right fit, of course it could happen.” (XXL Mag)
