Last month, Bobby Shmurda was sentenced to seven years in state prison for a series of weapon-related charges. He was arrested back in December 2014 and originally pleaded not guilty but later accepted a plea deal.

As reported by VladTV, it appears as though the rapper's time officially serving his due diligence is already off to a rocky start.

According to the report, Shmurda is now in protective custody after getting into a fight. Sources close to the GS9 rapper shared that the altercation went down in the mess hall at the Downstate Correctional Facility in the state of New York.

More on this story as it develops.
