In further proof that it doesn’t take much to be famous these days, I want to introduce you to Bobby Shmurda. If you never heard of this dude until now, he’s a rapper from Brooklyn who’s signed to Epic records. And I am willing to bet he’s had more run-in’s with the law than he currently has singles. His song “Hot Ni**a” peaked at number 43 on the Hot Billboard 100 and features not only the infamous “Shmoney Dance” but has also been remixed by several rappers including Juicy J., French Montana, Jeezy and T.I..
Did we mention that Shmurda was arrested earlier this summer in June on felony criminal possession of a weapon and is facing 15 years in prison? And just a few days ago during a nightclub appearance in New Jersey, someone shot at Club Eden where Shmurda was performing before pulling out of the lot. No word on whether Mr. Shmurda had anything to do with the incident. We hope he can “Shmoney Dance” his way out of all this trouble.
Our friends at TMZ noticed the “Shmoney Dance” was eerily similar to the “Diddy Bop” made famous by producer/rapper Diddy when artists were complaining about him sashaying through all of his artists’ videos as a glorified hype man in the nineties. So TMZ took it upon themselves to create a dance-off between Shmurda and Diddy in an edition of “Who Did It Better?”. We have a feeling people will be over this dance craze faster than you can say, “Wobble Baby”, but take a look for yourselves:
