Last week, Bobby Shmurda accepted a plea deal in his murder conspiracy case and will do seven years (with two years served) on conspiracy to possess weapons and possession of a weapon.

Rowdy Rebel got the same deal, and in a interview with Complex Shmurda explained that a big part of why he plead out was to help his boy Rowdy out.

Why did you take the plea deal? BS: I did it for Rowdy. They offered me five and offered Rowdy 12. They said the only way they’ll give him seven is if I took seven too. So, you know, I had to take one for the dawgs. RR: My boy copped out for me, you heard?

If we made bail I would’ve beat the case. We look guilty in these orange jumpsuits. If you put Al Sharpton in a orange jumpsuit and accuse him of having a gun, he’s going to be found guilty. They just look at our skin color, and look at where we’re from. I didn’t get caught with anything on me and the cops lied, saying they seen me with a gun in my hand. I explained the whole situation to Epic and they were behind me all the way. We had big-money lawyers and they still couldn’t do nothing because of the judge, who looked at us like black thugs.
