Bobby Shmurda continues to top tier singles for his fans to enjoy. Following “No Time For Sleep,” “Cartier Lens,” and “Splash” comes a new drop titled “Shmoney,” a high-profile collaboration with close cohorts Quavo and Rowdy Rebel. Produced by Tay Keith, the hard-hitting cut features plenty of the boastful bars that the well-off talents are known for:
Heard they let some shots off your gang, start running, lil’ bro want some shmoney, spin that block, keep dumping, brand new choppa with a tommy, hooked on a stick like funnies … lil’ bitch pop this pussy for some shmoney, had to put my wrist inside the bowl and scrape some shmoney, they told me Rowdy was coming home, I put him up some money, Shmigo bitch, we back on the throne, ready to fuck up some shmoney…
As expected, the accompanying clip matches the song’s subject matter, much in part thanks to shots of the artists in high lifestyle mode. Viewers can see all of the usual rich rapper fare — plenty of money, jewelry, scantily-clad women, and more, all within and around a lavish mansion.
As previously reported by REVOLT, “fans” of Bobby Shmurda have begun criticizing the artist for recent dance moves seen on social media and during performances, failing to recall that Shmurda has been bringing the same energy since before his incarceration. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Shmurda seemed to respond to the hate with some sound advice for all of his fellow compadres:
“I’m not trying to be an asshole about it, but I’m saying, you niggas need some WD-40 or some shit bro … Like I don’t know, you motherfuckers too stiff. The girls are complaining, bro. You gotta whine out … You gotta hit all angles.”
Press play on Bobby Shmurda, Quavo, and Rowdy Rebel’s “Shmoney” video below.

Elvis Presley's Graceland Mansion, a popular tourist attraction and the singer's final resting place, is at the center of a court fight as it appears to be headed for a foreclosure auction later this week. But Elvis' granddaughter, actor Riley Keough, is fighting back with a lawsuit that alleges fraud.
According to an apparent foreclosure notice, the estate — which was built in 1939 — is set to be auctioned off at the Shelby County courthouse in Memphis, Tennessee, on Thursday.
The foreclosure is allegedly occurring because Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, used Graceland as collateral to secure a $3.8 million loan from a company called Naussany Investments and Private Lending in 2018, but she failed to pay it off before she died last year.
Keough, who starred in last year's hit show "Daisy Jones and the Six," is the heir to the estate.
In a lawsuit, Keough claims Naussany Investments "appears to be a false entity created for the purpose" of defrauding her family. The lawsuit also says Keough's mother "never borrowed money" from the company, or gave them a deed of trust to Graceland, and further alleges that documents claiming otherwise "are forgeries."
The lawsuit includes a sworn affidavit from the notary public whose name appears on the deed of trust, saying in part, "I did not notarize this document."
A judge will consider those allegations in a hearing Wednesday, after an attorney for Keough says a temporary restraining order was granted Monday, according to CBS affiliate in Memphis WREG.
"You want to keep the status quo and make sure nothing changes — make sure nobody is harmed," said Jessica Levinson, a CBS News legal contributor. "And the biggest harm would come from an illegitimate sale of Graceland."
CBS News reached out to two people who appeared to be affiliated with the investment and lending company, and they said they would send our questions to their attorneys.
Elvis Presley Enterprises manages Graceland and said in a statement that the foreclosure claims are "fraudulent." In a social media post, Presley's ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, uploaded a photo of Graceland that was captioned, "It's a scam!"
In 1957, at the age of 22, Elvis bought Graceland for $102,500. At the time he purchased it, the mansion was 10,266 square feet, and Elvis bought 13.8 acres of the farm around the house. Today, the Graceland mansion is 17,552 square feet.
Graceland, where Elvis died in 1977, was named to the American National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Over 600,000 people visit Graceland — named after Grace, an aunt of one of the original owners — each year.
