Bobby Shmurda opened up about how the tragic death of his friend Pluto served as a wake-up call, pushing him to take music seriously. Immersed in a street life filled with close calls and risky situations, Shmurda acknowledged that his environment nearly led him astray. The untimely passing of Pluto was a pivotal moment that motivated him to channel his energy into rap instead. Beyond personal reflections, Shmurda also touched on his collaborations with fellow rapper and childhood friend Rowdy Rebel. The two artists share deep roots that trace back to their early days in Brooklyn. Despite entering different circles, their shared experiences fostered a powerful musical partnership. Shmurda humorously recounted his nickname "Chewy," a tribute from his youth when he persuaded local street hustlers to buy him chicken wings, symbolizing his resourceful spirit even as a young boy.
