Shmurda – real name Ackquille Pollard – pleaded not guilty to felony and misdemeanour charges of promoting prison contraband, perjury and criminal possession of a weapon, according to the Bronx district attorney’s office, the New York Times reports.
Prison guards allegedly caught his 18-year-old girlfriend Kimberly Rousseau pulling a “sharp metal object” from her bra to hand to Shmurda during a visit last month. Prosecutors say he then lied about the incident during a grand jury hearing. Rousseau had also pleased not guilty to promoting prison contraband.
Shmurda faces seven years in prison if convicted. His next hearing is due in October. If convicted on the earlier charges – prosecutors claim he ran a drugs gang that stretched the length of the east coast – he could face a 25-year sentence.
