The rapper says he's been shadow-banned from the platform and he believes it's because he's releasing music this month.

He may have been flashing cash and jewelry on his Instagram Story, but Bobby Shmurda has a bone to pick about not being able to go Live on the platform. Fans of the rapper are currently awaiting his official debut studio album but in the meantime, Shmurda has been grabbing attention with his social media posts, interviews, and Livestream moments. However, he claims that someone is keeping him from connecting with fans.

It looks as if Shmurda was firing off subliminal verbal shots to a person or corporation that he believes is blocking his moves on Instagram.
