Bobby Shmurda Released From Prison After Six Years

Rapper Bobby Shmurda (real name: Ackquille Jean Pollard) was released from jail on Tuesday (Feb. 23) after doing six years of a seven-year sentence for conspiracy and weapons possession.

The conditional release from New York’s Clinton Correctional Facility was confirmed via an inmate search and a statement from the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision that read, “At approximately 8:30 this morning, Ackquille Pollard was conditionally released from Clinton Correctional Facility. Mr. Pollard will be under community supervision in Kings County until he completes his sentence on February 23, 2026.”

Shmurda’s pal Quavo said he was planning to pick his friend up on Tuesday, but at press time it was unclear if Q was able to provide a ride. “I’m going to get my guy,” the Migos frontman told Billboard before Shmurda’s release. “I’m personally gonna go pick up Bobby Shmurda. I’m bout to go get him. I’m gonna let him show you how I’m gonna pick him up, yessir.”
