He says he made it up on the spot, a throwaway moment not meant to make the cut. Halfway through the video, Shmurda breaks out into a juttering dance – a mix of drunken auntie dancing and street swagger. He’s just been signed to Epic Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, and his track, Hot Nigga, has more than 40m views on YouTube. Shmurda – real name Ackquille Jean Pollard – is one of this year’s breakout hip-hop stars. ![]() You can understand why people might think he’s laid-back. ![]() “They see me smile and dance, and they think I ain’t been through nothing.
