Last month Bobby Shmurda agreed to a deal with Manhattan prosecutors that allowed him to plead guilty for his role in a gang conspiracy case.
In exchange, he accepted a prison term of 7 years, followed by 5 years of probation.
During the sentencing hearing Wednesday, October 19, things got awkward when Shmurda, born Ackquille Pollard, decided he no longer wanted the plea deal.
“I was forced to take this sentence. I don't want to take this sentence,” Shmurda told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Abraham Clott, according to the New York Daily News. “I want to drop my plea.”
The 22-year old "Hot Nigga" rapper then turned towards his attorney, Alex Spiro.
“I want to drop my plea and fire you," he said. "Why are you telling me to waive my rights? I am not waiving my rights.”
On the advice of Assistant District Attorney Nigel Farinha, Clott, denied the last minute requests and sentenced Shmurda to the previously agreed upon term.
Shmurda has been in jail since December 17, 2014, when he was arrested along with 12 other members of his GS9 crew.
