"SOLID AS A ROCK ‼️it’s a shame how the world don’t glorify the REAL ONES SMH #freesmurda ✅‼️rats get mo love then the stand up guys," Boosie captioned a photo of Shmurda in a clear reference to Tekashi6ix9ine.

Of course, Shmurda handled his business a lot differently than singing 6ix9ine. In fact, he took extra time so his boy Rowdy Rebel could get less time.

Bobby collaborated with 6ix9ine before Tekashi became a government worker. 

In a jailhouse interview earlier this year, he explained why he would never do that again.

"H*ll motherf*cking no,” Shmurda said when asked about working with 6ix9ine again. "If you from the hood, you supposed to know that. These just rappers. Don't expect nothing from them. These m-fers get everybody locked up ... They just entertainers. They ain't living what they be talking."
