Bobby Shmurda Lives Out Lean On Me Dream As A High School Principal For A Day In New Jersey

January 4, 2025 by newhiphopnews

Bobby Shmurda recently shared hard-earned wisdom with students at a New Jersey high school during a unique visit as Principal for the Day. On January 2, the rapper, best known for his breakout hit “Hot N*gga,” took over East Orange High School as part of a collaboration with Hot 97. His visit, documented on Instagram, featured snapshots and videos of him engaging with students, delivering heartfelt advice, and embracing his role with enthusiasm.

In his Instagram caption, Shmurda expressed gratitude for the opportunity, acknowledging the irony of the moment. “Principal Shmurda for a day—ha! What’s crazy is I never graduated from junior high,” he wrote. “So this is an honor. Huge thanks to Principal Whitaker for letting me lead East Orange High for the day. It was an amazing experience—y’all can check it out on YouTube via Hot 97.” Hot 97 later released a 39-minute episode capturing Shmurda’s visit, including a candid Q&A session where he reflected on his meteoric rise to fame and his fall from grace.

“I was Bobby Shmurda, then I got locked up,” he recounted. He openly discussed his troubled youth, revealing he had his first run-in with the law at just 12 years old. “My friends were four or five years older than me. My mom would just cry all day.” Shmurda also reflected on his tumultuous time in prison. “The first few years, I was wilding—gangbanging, smoking, fighting, doing dumb stuff,” he admitted.

“I had to stop letting others define my behavior,” he told the students. “Every time I was about to achieve something, someone miserable would push me off course, and I’d end up in jail. You can’t thrive like that.” Shmurda’s story resonated with the students, blending inspiration with raw honesty. His message was clear: success requires discipline, self-awareness, and the courage to break free from destructive patterns.

Bobby Shmurda Claims To Know The Origin Of Meek Mill’s Gay Rumors

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Meek Mill has truly had a roller coaster career. He was a rising star in the 2010s. Then he lost the Drake battle. He served prison time. Then he was released, made up with Drake, and was back. Meek Mill’s success was cut short again, though. The internet decided to turn him into a meme. It’s seemingly impossible to come across a headline on the rapper without it being negative. Bobby Shmurda talked about this unfortunate shift during a recent stint on The Danza Project podcast.

Bobby Shmurda points out that Meek Mill has been plagued by rumors about his sexuality for years. The rapper alleges that these rumors came about because Meek decided to leave his “team,” and they went and turned on him. The reason Shmurda believes this? Because he worked with the same team of people and also left. “You leave that team, they come for you,” he alleged. He claimed that labels and PR teams wield their influence in a vengeful way if someone “wrongs” them. “We own the internet, we’re gonna spread all these rumors about you,” he stated. “I’m gonna put a thousand, three thousand comments. Make them jokes, I’m gonna pay for comments on every post.”

Bobby Shmurda Claims Meek’s Former Team Sabotaged Him

Bobby Shmurda claims that the so-called “team” tried to spread gay rumors about him as well, but they didn’t stick they way they have with Meek Mill. He also expressed disappointment with the people who believe these rumors just because they want to see a popular artist fail. Meek Mill has, admittedly, tried to deny these rumors. He hopped on Twitter in April in an attempt to clear the air. “I’m from Philly I don’t do coke or freaky a*s molly,” he wrote. “Nobody won’t even offer me coke because I’m that heavy. No man or watt would ever approach me about gay activity and the whole place don’t get flipped.”

Unfortunately, Meek Mill’s affiliation with Diddy has not helped him kill the rumors. The two men were seemingly very close in the years leading up to Diddy’s arrest. Infamously, they wore matching shirts to a party together. Bobby Shmurda doesn’t address the alleged Diddy connection in his claims about teams who slander their former artists, though. It is, admittedly, a trickier situation to navigate. Meek Mill has tried, as evidenced by a recent Twitter rant in which he offered investigators $100K to uncover the origin of his and Diddy’s alleged connection. But the internet, predictably, clowned him.

Bobby Shmurda Links With Norwegian Producer ORIO For “OVERSEAS” Banger

June 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bobby Shmurda is continuing his run of putting some of his fans onto some new artists with “OVERSEAS”. This is a collaboration with Norwegian/Moroccan producer ORIO. He has been in the industry for about four years up until this point. Overall, he has produced for a lot of lesser-known artists overseas. So, there is a good chance Bobby is the biggest name he was worked with so far. For the latter, this is following up on his previous R&B track with newcomer Eli called “On Something”. Overall, it was a major deviation from what we know the “Hot N****” rapper to be. It was a pretty unsatisfying team-up, but we can admire him for branching out. This time through, “OVERSEAS” pays off. It is a very nice improvement, as Bobby Shmurda is definitely more in his element.

ORIO gives the Brooklyn, New York native an intense and banging instrumental. The beat has a grand feel to it, especially with the string sections mixed in. It is pedal to the metal all the way through, as Bobby Shmurda raps with a lot of energy on “OVERSEAS”. The lyrics are not really the main focus here, as it is more about the catchy chorus and flows. So far, fans seem to be enjoying this one thoroughly so far and are hoping it gets more love. “Bruh someone needs 2 promote this song. I just randomly searched shmurda. This a Hit”. Since its release the single has picked up some solid numbers. On Spotify it is currently in the “Bobby B****” MC’s top five popular. Additionally, it has picked over 30,000 views on YouTube. You might want to check this one before it blows up, so run it up!

Bobby Shmurda Works With Newcomer Eli For R&B Cut “On Something”

May 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There were so many people on the Bobby Shmurda hype train back in the mid 2010s. A great deal of hip-hop fans were infatuated with arguably his two best tracks “Hot N****” and “Bobby B****.” However, all of that excitement for the Miami, Florida native went out the window in a hurry after his infamous prison sentence. He was handcuffed for weapons and conspiracy charges for the longest seven years and his return was a bright spot for the genre in 2021. Since being reinstated into society, the 29-year-old rapper has released two full-length projects and a bevy of singles. However, he has not been able to recapture that magic for about 10 years now.

It is clear that Bobby Shmurda is still struggling with songs like “On Something” coming down the pipeline. This is his fifth feature of the year, as he joins a new face to the R&B space, who goes by Eli. In fact, this is the latter’s first-ever release on streaming platforms. It is evident as well because this is perhaps one of the most forgettable songs we have heard all year.

Listen To “On Something” By Bobby Shmurda & Eli

Eli has a painfully boring and generic auto-tuned singing voice that sounds outdated. It is especially unbearable when he goes into his upper register. As for Bobby, his flow is equally boring and sleepy. Unfortunately, there are just no redeeming qualities to this track.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “On Something” by Eli and Bobby Shmurda? Is this one of his stronger features as of late, why or why not? Do you think Eli has what it takes to make it in music? Would you want to hear them collaborate again in the future? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Bobby Shmurda Goes Crazy At 50 Cent Concert

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bobby Shmurda and 50 Cent surprisingly have a close friendship than most people might realize. When Bobby was in prison for over six years for conspiracy to murder, weapons possession, and reckless endangerment, he credited 50 Cent as one that was actually looking to help bail him out. Hip Hop N’ More reported this back in 2017, during an interview with Bobby saying, “The only one who really contacted us was 50. Everyone else is just talk. They do it for the people. The only one that is real is 50.”

Furthermore, in an interview with us (HNHH) Shmurda revealed that he and 50 were in talks about landing him a role on one of his TV shows and it was all positive for Bobby. “Me and 50 were on a two-hour call like two weeks ago,” Bobby said. “Some talent agents I was talking to, they help 50 with Power and STARZ and all that other s**t. So you know he wants me to act, and they want me to act, so we just talking about a couple of shit right now.”

With all that being said, it was no surprise to see the Brooklyn native pop out to support his big brother, 50 Cent. 2cool2bl0g posted a clip to their Instagram account recently and Shmurda is rapping bar for bar during 50’s performance. It was part of a two-day stop at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Fif has always been one of Bobby’s idols so it was a cool moment to see surface on the internet.

Bobby Shmurda Should Cool It With The Rap Criticisms, Charlamagne Tha God Says

June 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Charlamagne Tha God has expressed his disagreement with Bobby Shmurda’s criticism of rap music. He says that Shmurda should not undermine the genre because he owes his fame and recognition to it. Charlamagne discussed the topic on The Breakfast Club‘s segment, “The Rumor Report,.” He went on to kindly acknowledge Shmurda’s energy and personality. However, he pointed out that the public hasn’t been receptive to his new music since his release from prison.

Charlamagne also emphasized that the culture may not be so keen on the new attitude. While he realizes that Bobby Shmurda has avoided being a snitch and is now creating positive music, the culture doesn’t seem to appreciate or acknowledge that about him. Furthermore, he believes that rap is the reason why people know Shmurda. He highlighted that, because of this, Shmurda’s criticisms of the genre may not resonate well with the audience.

The Origin Of Bobby Shmurda’s Opinion On Rap

The conversation about Bobby Shmurda’s disdain for rap music began when he appeared on The Danza Project podcast. There, he advised children to stay away from hip-hop because he sees it as dangerous. Shmurda expressed concern that kids might take the lifestyles portrayed in rap lyrics as reality. However, he says the rappers themselves may not have even experienced those circumstances. He believes rap music should uplift people and encourage positive change. Now, however, he believes it promotes negativity. As a result of this, Bobby Shmurda shared that he no longer enjoys rap music. Apparently, he only listens to it when he’s at the club.

Shmurda went on to say that he prefers reggae now. He is so disconnected from the rap scene that he wouldn’t even notice if another rapper dissed him in a song. This isn’t the first time Bobby Shmurda has discussed his decision to distance himself from rap music and make a change. In March, he took to Instagram to share his journey towards self-improvement after being involved in criminal activities. He made it clear that he is determined to pursue a productive and successful future. He says he wants to make the best use of his time.
