Bobby Shmurda has been out of prison for some time now and has been making moves for himself while getting reacquainted with the world. However, the rapper noted his music was being stalled due to issues with Epic Records. Shmurda previously expressed frustration with the label, saying he was trying to leave the label before he got locked up, and that he “made them more millions than they ever gave me!” Now, it appears Bobby’s wish has been granted, as the rapper revealed he is no longer with Epic Records.
Bobby went on to sign a management deal with Roc Nation, which led him to express more thoughts on leaving Epic. In an IG story post, the rapper posted a photo of himself and said, “Attention!!!! To all Shmurda fans, aka the Shmurdas. I just signed my release papers also jus made ah milly today.” Bobby continued saying, “I can’t wait to drop s/o my n***a @Trulife ahh ahh ahh my n***a I’m shooting my 1st independence video today called Getting Em Back we celebrating all week in kods pop out nd Monday starlets.” Take a look above.
