Bobby Shmurda did his first interview since taking a 7-year plea deal, which he told Complex could've been five years. The Brooklyn rapper explained that he took the plea deal "for Rowdy [Rebel]," adding, "They offered me five and offered Rowdy 12. They said the only way they'll give him seven is if I took seven too. So, you know, I had to take one for the dawgs."
When asked what kind of time he was looking at if he didn't take the deal, Bobby said, The judge wasn't really playing fair because he was letting a lot of stuff into court that wasn't supposed to be. The only witnesses the DA had against us were lying cops. We had detectives lying, saying they seen us with guns in our hands, but when everything came back there was no DNA, no fingerprints, no nothing. My lawyer told me we don't want to go to court in Manhattan with these white people because they're going to be looking at me, a little black kid. Who are they going to believe, the word of this black kid talking about shooting shit up or the word of white officers? A jury is going to believe cops all day. We're black kids, these are white people with badges."
As soon as he's released, Bobby said that he has a lot of projects in the works, including music, movies, and a book deal. He revealed that all of these things should be coming to reality when he's released "in about three years."
