Rapper Bobby Shmurda wants to get paid by the city for an alleged false arrest on gun and drug charges by the NYPD, according to a federal lawsuit.
The “Shmoney Dance” singer, whose real name is Ackquille Pollard, claims he was hanging out at a friend’s crib on Rockaway Parkway in Brooklyn on June 3, 2014 when cops knocked on the door.
“When one of the occupants opened the door a slight bit to see who was there, Officer Douglas Corso and other police officers kicked in the door and illegally entered the residence without a search warrant,” according to the suit filed Friday in Brooklyn Federal Court.
The cops claimed Pollard tried to hide a handgun inside a couch.
Pollard, 21, claims that while the cops were allegedly ransacking the apartment, they taunted him by “chanting the lyrics to his chart-topping songs,” the suit states.
Neither the gun, nor drug paraphernalia seized from the apartment belong to Pollard, he claims.
Pollard’s lawyer is Derek Sells, a civil rights lawyer who is married to Civilian Complaint Review Board executive director Mina Malik.
