Bobby Shmurda has taken a swipe at Roc Nation during a recent interview, in which he also joked about being team Nas when it comes to his infamous beef with Jay-Z.
In a VladTV clip shared on Thursday (June 19), Shmurda gave the full-service entertainment company a new name while answering questions about his ties to the imprint.
“I signed with Opp Nation, I mean, Roc Nation,” Shmurda joked before laughing it off. “I’m sorry, I’m drunk.”
When pressed about his feelings about the label, Shmurda declined the chance to talk about Jay-Z. Moments later, he joked about his feelings regarding the rapper and face of Roc Nation. “What Nas say? Fuck Jay-Z. No! I’m playing,” said Shmurda.
Shmurda’s inebriated state led to him saying some other wild things too, such as he was “sucking toes” when he got home from prison and he had a “tensome.”
In May, Shmurda issued an apology to fans for suddenly cancelling his 2025 Still Alive Tour, claiming that he would take “full responsibility.”
“I have to go through lawsuits with these guys @philipstengel works at @halotouring @igetgwop that I knew better to do business with,” Shmurda wrote on IG. “Let this be a life lesson to all business owners and affiliate. Don’t leave nothing in no one hands don’t matter how much you gotta work.”
“Nobody’s gonna treat your work like it’s you except if you got a top pause, done expert, but that happens once in a blue moon because you have money does not make you a boss,” Shmurda added.
“[A]nyways I apologize again to all of my fans I might have to go through some lawsuits and lawyer fee money a.k.a. The industry most wanted ain’t nothing new I been fighting.”
Along with his message, Shmurda shared screenshots of a heated exchange with booking agent Philip Stengel and CEO of Oakstreet Media, Sergo Patillo. Their text thread revealed that the men were arguing about the advertising and marketing for Shmurda’s concert.
“Hey bitch lmk if you need the book mailing address to sue me,” wrote Stengel. “And anytime we can run the fucking fade ain’t no bitch here you ain’t gonna talk to me like you have been.”
“[Tempers] flared and things were said from both sides call it even as men and lets follow through with what we started,” wrote Gwop. “In this business we have moments that aren’t so pretty at times no need to sue or stop any tour because men had a argument it happens.”
