Things aren’t getting any better for rapper Bobby Shmurda. Even though he’s been in jail at Riker’s Island for a pretty long time, Shmurda is still finding ways to get himself in trouble. The latest involves him pleading guilty to charges are trying to smuggle contraband into prison according to Bossip.
The plea deal will now have Shmurda serving a 1.3 to 4 year sentence concurrently with his other sentence for conspiracy and weapons.
The “Hot N***a” rapper Thursday pled guilty to one count of attempted promoting prison contraband – a nonviolent felony – telling Bronx Supreme Court Judge Marc Whitten that he did indeed try to bring a “sharp metal object” into New York’s Rikers Island jail in 2015 before cops caught him.
“Is it true that on that date…that you did, in fact, possess a white latex glove balloon wrapped in tape with a sharp metal object?” Judge Whitten asked.
“Attempted, yes sir,” Shmurda responded.
The plea was part of a deal to make most of the charges from the incident go away. Prosecutors said Shmurda’s gal pal, Kimberly Rousseau, passed him a “sharpened metal object” during a jail visit to Rikers Island last year. They then said he lied about the incident to the Grand Jury. Rousseau has since pled guilty to promoting prison contraband.
Shmurda will be eligible for parole in 2021, but if he continues to get in trouble while behind bars, his luck might run out for future plea deals.
