Former Hip Hop Cop Derrick Parker Talks Bobby Shmurda Case

(WWETV) Derrick Parker is a former NYPD detective that participated in the department’s rap intelligence unit (aka Hip Hop Cops). He said he kept tabs on Sean “Diddy” Combs and stay tuned to events by attending major Hip Hop shows such as Hot 97’s Summer Jam concert.

“The case of Bobby Shmurda, look what happened to him. He was part of the GS9 crew – guns, drugs, and shootings. Once you do all that stuff, the police department monitors you,” states Parker. “With Bobby Shmurda, they were hellbent on not letting his career take off before they got him. They weren’t going to let him become a major rap artist before they took him down. They had some good detectives that did some good police work.”

Parker also adds he thinks Shmurda is done in the music industry although Shmurda states the night of the arrest was just the police profiling him as a hip hop artist.
