Yesterday the internet was on fire with the reporting of the arrest of Epic Record’s Bobby Shmurda on drugs, gun, attempted murder and murder charges. Sha Money XL, and Epic rep who signed the 20-year-old rapper issued a statement to All Hip-Hop concerning the arrest indicating the unfair treatment of police officers unfairly targeting black men.”I was not arrested. They held me until they searched the studio then let me go.
I signed these kids to give them a better way in life not to be dragged down by the media and gunned down by the 40 cops that raided the studio and pointed guns at me for working my job. You have no idea how this makes me feel or look when I’m one of the only few black men signing black artist from the streets and giving them a chance to do better in life.”Epic is expected to pay the 2 million bail for the rapper.
