Rapper Bobby Shmurda Sentenced to 7 Years in New York State Prison

He made waves with his track "Hot Boy" and got millions of fans doing the "Shmoney Dance," but that didn't help Bobby Shmurda in his latest legal battle.
E! News can confirm the 22-year-old Miami-native (real name Ackquille Pollard) was officially sentenced to seven years in prison in Manhattan Supreme Court on Wednesday after pleading guilty to one count of 4th-degree conspiracy to criminally possess a weapon and one count of 2nd-degree criminal weapons possession.
Since Shmurda accepted a deal, he waived his right to appeal the sentencing. However, according to Billboard, he pleaded with the judge as a last-ditch effort, saying, "I was forced to take this sentence. I don't want to take this sentence," Shmurda said as his lawyer Alex Spiro stood flustered beside him . "I want to drop my plea."

Shmurda even went as far as saying his lawyers "lied" to him, but the judge still didn't accept, denying any request for an adjournment.
After the hearing, Billboard reported that the rapper's mother, Leslie Pollard, was disappointed. "You don't have any rights in that courtroom," she said. "It's heartbreaking. It's disappointing."

Meanwhile, Shmurda was originally arrested in on June 3, 2014, after getting busted for carrying a gun, which he claimed was for a rap video. He's already served 21 months, which means he should be released around 2021.
