Months before the ending of the contract, Bobby Shmurda had expressed frustration at the state of business with Epic Records after fans said he fell off and hasn’t been able to replicate his hit song before going to jail.
“I got a 70 year old lady running my label and I love her dearly but doesn’t want to let me go at alllllllll,” he wrote about Epic Records CEO Sylvia Rhone. “No matter what I do I’ve been sign to them since I was 19 I did six years in jail trying to get off this label before I came home you name one person in the industry a lable [sic] keeps sign in jail for six years???? … Yeah IK IK I made them more millions than they ever gave me!!! Just let me goo,” he had said.
He also likened the record deal to imprisonment, “It’s been ah year now I still feel like I’m in prison.”
Bobby had signed to Epic Records in 2014 and was set to release his debut album. However, those plans were shelved after he was charged and sent to jail for third-degree conspiracy and one count of weapons possession charges.
