The rapper will remain in prison until at least 2021.

Bobby Shmurda was officially sentenced to seven year in prison by the Manhattan Supreme Court today weeks after accepting a previously reported plea deal with prosecutors, Billboard reports.

The deal was part of a “global plea deal” with his co-defendants Chad “Rowdy Rebel” Marshall and Nicholas McCoy for 4th-degree conspiracy to criminally possess a weapon and 2nd-degree criminal weapons possession which together carry a seven year sentence. Shmurda protested the plea and the sentence in court, but due to specific stipulations in the deal he has waived his right to appeal.

“I was forced to take this sentence, I did not want to take this sentence,” Shmurda said in court. “I was forced by my attorney to take this plea.”

The 22-year-old rapper blamed the situation on the court system and a bias toward police, who he accused of lying that he had a gun during the arrest. Even with the full support of his label Epic and a powerful team of lawyers, Shmurda said the Manhattan judge “looked at us as black thugs”.

“Put Al Sharpton in a orange jumpsuit and accuse him of having a gun, he’s going to be found guilty. They just look at our skin color, and look at where we’re from,” he said.

2021 is Shmurda’s projected release date because of the two years he’s spent in prison awaiting trial, according to the Billboard report he has no parole opportunities. Following his release from prison, the rapper’s mother, Leslie Pollard, described the sentencing as “disappointing” but not surprising:

“You don’t have any rights in that courtroom,” she said. “It’s heartbreaking.”
