"He just wants to build a storyline, letting people know where they started, where they came from and how these people are..."

Många minns nog när den unge rapparen Bobby Shmurda skakade om hiphop-världen sommaren 2014 med den virala hiten “Hot N*gga”. Därefter gick det inte lika bra för Brooklyn-rapparen som arresterades av polis och åtalades för bland annat förberedelse till mord, vapeninnehav och våldsbrott på grund av sin inblandning i Crips-gänget GS9.
Rapparen väntar fortfarande på rättegång där han riskerar upp till 25 års fängelse och borgenssumman är ännu satt på 2 miljoner dollar.

Under en intervju med hiphop-tidningen XXL, uppdaterade Shmurdas mamma kring sonens liv i fängelset där hon bland annat avslöjar att han för närvarande skriver ett filmmanus om sitt liv och gänget GS9:
“A lot of people don’t know but, the GS9 is his music label, and the guys that are locked up with him, 90 percent of them are childhood friends since he was three, four years old. He just wants to build a storyline, letting people know where they started, where they came from and how these people are and what they’re doing and what the media is trying to portray them as. He also gave us insight about who, which people he’s going to let play which characters and things of that nature.”

Det slutar inte där. Enligt modern skriver Shmurda även om sina erfarenheter med det amerikanska rättsväsendet, något han varit väldigt frispråkig kring:
“He loves music but that’s something he was always interested in transitioning to. He loves the whole Will Smith thing. That’s something he’s very interested in, acting.”

Slutligen berättade hon hur läget ligger till kring sonens borgenssumma som fortfarande är satt på 2 miljoner dollar:

 
“A lot of people are not fully aware of what’s going on. I see that they have it out in the media that he’s been denied bail seven times, he hasn’t. He’s been given a bail, on the first arraignment which is two million dollars. What has been denied has been the reduction of the bail. The bail is excessive due to the charges that he’s facing. It’s very excessive. It’s just because of who he is and because he makes the case a high-profile case.”
