Bobby Shmruda has been trying to get off Epic since he got out of prison.
"I got a 70 year old lady running my label And I love her delay but doesn't want to me go at allll n Matter what I do I've been Sign to them since 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 keeps a sign in jail for six years???? yeah Ik ik I made them more million than they ever gave me!!! Just let me gooo," Bobby said of Epic's 69-year-old CEO Sylvia Rhone."
It looks like he finally ditched his long-time label -- and got a million for his efforts.
“Attention to alll Shmurda fans aka The Shmurdas,” Bobby typed on IG Story “I just sign my release papers also jus made ah milly today I can’t wait to drop s/o my n*gga @trulife ahh ahh ahh my n*gga I’m shooting my 1st independence video today called getting em back we celebrating all week in KODS pop out nd Monday Starlets.”
It's unclear if Bobby is now on a new label. But he was sniffing around new Death Row boss Snoop Dogg last week.
