While Bobby Shmurda is still behind bars, authorities have found it necessary to protect the "Hot N***a" rapper from fellow inmates, deciding to transfer the young rapper from Rikers Island to protective custody in a lower Manhattan facility.

According to DNA Info New York, Shmurda, real name Ackquille Pollard, was moved from Rikers to a Manhattan detention complex on January 15th, and has remained there since. He confirmed this information himself in an interview with Hot 97. Since moving to PC, Shmurda's original conspiracy and gun charges have been combined with separate gun charges from a previous arrest in June of 2014.

Shmurda has been in police custody since December 17th and has yet to pay his $2,000,000 bail. Hear what Shmurda had to say about being locked up and see pics of the Brooklyn rapper in the gallery above.
