Ackquille Jean Pollard (born August 4, 1994), known professionally as Bobby Shmurda, is an American rapper. He signed a deal with Epic Records after his track "Hot N***a" peaked at number 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100. On December 18, 2014, New York City Police arrested Shmurda, and he was charged with murder, weapons possession and reckless endangerment. In 2016, he pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to prison for seven years, which was reduced to five due to credit for the two years served awaiting trial counting towards the sentence.
