Brooklynite, Bobby Shmurda, was sentenced to 7 years in prison Wednesday [October 19]. The "Hot N****" rapper went from an internet sensation to a felon after pleading guilty to conspiracy and criminal possession of a weapon charge in September. According to the FADER, his attorney, Alex Spiro said "his sentence of 7 years, with credit for 2 years already served and good time credit will hopefully permit him to be home in approximately 3 1⁄2 years and resume his remarkable career. This plea also covers a separate Bronx Indictment."
Without the plea deal, Shmurda could have gone to trial and faced 25-years to life prison. During the hearing, Shmurda wanted to withdraw the deal, but the judge denied his request.
Stay strong Bobby.
