Still in jail, can't afford bail

It was reported on January 31, 2015 that Shmurda posted $2 million bail http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/01/31/bobby-shmurda-posts-2-million-bond/

However, Billboard reported on February 13, 2015 that Shmurda is still in jail because he can't afford to post bail http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6472767/bobby-shmurda-talks-from-jail Vaqab (talk) 01:23, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Persecutors" to "Prosecutors" in the sentence " Bobby Shmurda has, so far, a net worth of $400,000,[7] although, during his trial, persecutors have estimated his net worth to be of $500,000." 2605:6000:5542:AA00:BD84:2237:326C:4E59 (talk) 17:04, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Death"

Years active

Bobby Shmurda started rapping/making music in 2004. He was arrested in 2014, therefore ending his current activeness.

Orphaned references in Bobby Shmurda

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bobby Shmurda's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Birthplace

In the sources cited it literally says he was born in Miami. Why the false citation? Solidomaxino (talk) 06:01, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Arrest date

The article (now re-)states he was arrested and charged on 18 December 2014 but the references listed slightly differ on that fact. While the Washington Post ref states he was charged on Thursday (the 18th), the Page 6 article states he was arrested "early Wednesday" (the 17th) and arraigned on Thursday. The arraigned - charged difference is just semantics but the arrest date (Dec 17) seems a bit more notable.

I did revert an earlier change from May 2020 which altered the date given from the 18th to the 24th as it was no only not supported by both refs but took place a week after the arrest was reported (18th/19th). This is not vey likely without time travel being involved. Creol (talk) 10:27, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

English?

One sentence reads:

"Current release date was December 11, 2020, but have to wait at least one more year before being released."
