American rapper Ackquille Jean Pollard who goes by the stage name Bobby Shmurda has been released from prison after six years.
According to a statement from the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, the rapper was released today, 23 February 2021.
“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.”
