Shmurda was set to perform at the event but that nearly never happened after the incident but his entourage ensured he never got to the fan as they dragged him away.
From a video shared by TMZ, Bobby could be seen trying to climb over the stage barricade to reach the fan as he pushed everyone out of his way.
This happened during Megan Thee Stallion’s performance and luckily he never got to the fan as it would have been worse for him because it would land him back in prison.
Bobby's released from prison
As reported by Briefly News, Shmurda, born Ackquille Pollard, was released from prison on Tuesday, February 24, after six years behind bars.
Migos rapper Quavo had earlier revealed that he was to pick Shmurda from New York's Clinton Correction Facility and true to his word, he did.
In a video shared by Quavo on Instagram, Shmurda could be seen alighting a private jet clad in all black with a mask in the same colour.
The 26-year-old rapper was also holding a black briefcase in his left hand and this made many believe that he had transitioned back into his rapper lifestyle.
Parole conditions
His freedom is very much restricted and he has to follow a few parole rules to avoid going back to prison.
The artiste was given several conditions to serve his parole supervision until February 23, 2026.
Although he's back to living the rapper's lifestyle, Shmurda has to avoid drinking alcohol, hanging out at bars or gangs, and observing an 8pm curfew.
As if that's not enough, the artiste also has to submit to substance abuse testing and get counselling for aggression and anger.
