#080: The Hustle Is Legal Now: Bobby Shmurda on Building Wealth Post-Prison
Description
Bobby Shmurda (real name Ackquille Jean Pollard) is a musician, entrepreneur, and cultural force who joins us to unpack his radical transformation from the streets to the boardroom. Best known for his explosive rise in hip-hop and time behind bars, Bobby is now all-in on building wealth, investing in startups, and giving back through hands-on community work.
In this episode, Bobby opens up about how prison gave him the structure to run multiple businesses, why he refuses traditional managers to maintain control, and how he’s applying street smarts to venture capital. He breaks down the moment he got serious about generational wealth, the lessons he learned reading contracts inside a jail cell, and why he proudly calls himself a “pimp nerd” obsessed with equity, margin points, and capital gains.
This is Bobby Shmurda like you’ve never heard him before.
