LA Reid explains why they're yet to bail out their artist, Bobby Shmurda

Rapper Bobby Shmurda has been in prison since December 2014 after failing to post $2 million bail on multiple drug and gun charges. LA Reid, who is the CEO of Epic records where Bobby was signed to before his travails, explains why they haven't bailed out their artist.

Asked about criticism for leaving Bobby locked up LA Reid tells Rap Radar,  
“…It’s not the industry that it once was. We seriously don’t make the money we used to make. That’s a fact of life, right? “Bobby Shmurda is not the same as Snoop Dogg and Murder Was The Case, who’s coming off The Chronic and his first album. It’s a different era, ya know? And, we’re a publicly held corporation. We just aren’t in the same position we were in back in those days. So, it’s a different day.”

  8. I saw reasons with his explanation, he is
    yet to make his mark in the industry and just got into this huge mess. How much is his image worth, and to think its a battered image now.

  20. what will chewy learn in prison, his father is also serving long time, i love his track "hot n**ga at least the beat with a crow sound and all, free SHmurda, his been selling crack since the fifth grade, even though $2M is a lot it they dont think he will make another hit song. bottom line with private jails in the US prisoners have to be put in its good for business. food for thought, will prison rehabilitate such a man, or rather letting him go on with his carrer.

  21. Bobby thought he could do a ghetto Quran like fiddy but he got smouldered by hip hop police.. Most new rappers now involve in dry snitching all in the name of keeping it real.... Backward husslin via self incrimation with their lyrics
