DETAILS INSIDE:
Shmurda entered a not guilty plea at the Manhattan
Supreme Court yesterday. He was present in the
courtroom with his new attorney Kenneth
Montgomery.
The “Hot N***a” performer’s previous lawyer, Howard
Greenberg, is no longer representing him. Greenberg
had been the public face for Shmurda. He recently told
Revolt a Brooklyn gun charge against Shmurda was to
be dropped. It turns out that is not the case as the
Brooklyn District Attorney’s office is reportedly still
pursuing the June 2014 offense.
Shmurda’s current legal representation is seeking a
reduction in the $2 million bail that has been set for
the rapper. Montgomery requested a special bail
hearing for February 2, but the judge denied the
request.
The new charges brought against the defendants were
the result of the arrest at Manhattan’s Quad Studios
on December 17. The new counts include second
degree criminal possession of a weapon, third degree
criminal possession of a weapon, and criminal
possession of a firearm.
The next court date for Shmurda and the other
indicted members of his GS9 crew is set for April 22.
