Bobby’s home.
Over six years later, Bobby Shmurda celebrated his homecoming on Tuesday (Feb. 23). The “Hot Ni**a” rapper was released from prison just before 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning (Feb. 23), according to TMZ.
Shmurda, whose real name is Ackquille Pollard, walked out of New York’s infamous Clinton Correctional Facility 10 months early after the prison’s Time Allowance Committee decided to grant a conditional release for good behavior.
The 26-year-old was initially sentenced to six to seven years in prison after copping a plea deal for conspiracy to possess weapons and possession of a weapon. He received credit for around two years of time served before the sentence. Back in September, he was denied parole for 11 violations, including allegedly having a shank, drug possession, and fighting.
Shmurda’s mother, Leslie Pollard, was overcome with joy while speaking with her son on a FaceTime call after his release. “There are no words to explain the JOY in my [heart] God knows the way I Love my boys and I Thank him for bringing them both back to me in one piece the same way they left,” she wrote. “I am so overwhelmed and in 6 years 2 months and 5 days and 5.5hrs I finally feel like myself again. God is so good and we are truly BLESSED!!!!”
Quavo was one of the first to welcome him home and flew to the prison to pick him up. In a photo following his release, Bobby held up a “Shmurda Kit” in a Louis Vuitton briefcase while surrounded by three women.
