Things aren’t looking so good for Bobby Shmurda right now. The 20 year old “Hot N*gga” rapper is facing the possibility of having an additional seven years added onto whatever sentence he may be hit with if found guilty on the extensive charges from his December 2014 arrest. Shmurda’s new charges stem from a recent jail visit from his girlfriend.
On June 21, 18 year old Kimberly Rosseau went to visit Shmurda at the Anna M. Kross Center on Rikers Island and tried to slip him a homemade blade. Prison guards reportedly witnessed Rousseau pulling a “sharp metal object” out of her bra and attempting to slide it to Shmurda. Prosecutors say Shmurda lied about the incident to a grand jury. Rosseau has since plead not guilty to promoting prison contraband.
Shmurda appeared in court this past Thursday and plead not guilty to felony and misdemeanor charges of promoting prison contraband, perjury, and criminal possession of a weapon. He’s currently facing up to 25 years in prison for prior gun and weapon charges.
Shmurda’s next appearance in court is set for October.
