New York, NY – Rumors of Bobby Shmurda’s impending prison release started floating around Twitter on Monday (August 3). But any possibility of him getting out this week have proven to be false.
According to Complex, the 26-year-old rapper (real name Ackquille Pollard) has a parole hearing set for the week of August 17 — not (Tuesday) August 4 like many had concluded. Subsequently, there’s a slight chance he could be released following the hearing if the New York State Board of Parole allows it.
“Mr. Pollard is currently scheduled to appear before the Board of Parole the week of August 17, 2020,” a Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) said. “The Board of Parole has two weeks from the date of the interview with the incarcerated individual to render a decision.”
Shmurda pleaded guilty in September 2016 to conspiracy and weapons possession. He was initially arrested in December 2014 as part of a two-year investigation by the NYPD’s Brooklyn South Violence Reduction Task Force and the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor’s Gang Unit.
The Miami native’s earliest parole eligibility date is still December 11, 2020, but if the parole hearing doesn’t go well, he might be looking at a December 2021 release date.
Shmurda’s mother paid tribute to her son on his 26th birthday, which just happens to be Tuesday (August 4).
“I am screaming Happy Birthday to my youngest Chewy Chew and man I don’t know where to start I guess you had to be there,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “SPECIAL” is being modest. I am trying to make those of you who don’t know the character relate. This guy is overloaded with everything he has so much Personality andTalent. My boy is Caring, Sharing, Sweet, Loving, Loyal Energetic, Empathetic and Brave he is such a unique person.”
