Bobby Shmurda is still in jail, and the authorities are taking extra care that he doesn’t get hurt by fellow inmates while behind bars. Last month, the “Hot Ni**a” rapper was transferred from Rikers Island to a facility in lower Manhattan. 

Reports DNA Info New York:

Rapper Bobby Shmurda is being held in protective custody in Lower Manhattan while awaiting trial on conspiracy and gun charges, the Department of Correction said this week.

Shmurda, whose real name is Ackquille Pollard, was moved from Rikers Island to the Manhattan Detention Complex on White Street, where he has been held in a “protective custody unit” since Jan. 15, according to a DOC representative.

Also worth noting, on Tuesday (Feb. 24), separate gun charges against Shmurda in Brooklyn (from his previous arrest in June 2014), as well as a drug bust in December, were combined into the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s case against him.

Shmurda is being held on $2M bond (his bail package was withdrawn) and feels a way that his recording home, Epic Records, has been AWOL since he got hit with conspiracy charges. Good luck with that.
