The Hot N***a artist was arrested in late 2014, along with 14 others (including pal Rowdy Rebel, who was also released this year), charging them with crimes including murder, attempted murder, assault and drug dealing.
Investigators found two handguns and a small amount of crack cocaine in a car he was in, just days after he performed his debut single Hot Boy on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Shmurda was sentenced to seven years in prison back 2016, but he was granted early release, due to time served and good behavior.

The Shmoney Dance artist told GQ on his first day of freedom: ‘My spirit’s always gon’ be up. I used to sleep next to people who had 40 to life.
‘People who’ve been in there for 30 years and haven’t laughed—I’d have them crying all day. When you got good energy, no matter where you at, you can bring a smile to someone’s face.’
