Bobby Shmurda reflects on the unintended viral success of his hat and the Shmoney dance. Shmurda recalls how his track was buzzing even before its official release, noting that going viral on Instagram back then was almost instantaneous, unlike today's oversaturated environment. Shmurda's video, highlighted by his spontaneous dance and hat toss, sparked widespread attention. He humorously remarks that the hat moment has followed him, with countless memes, including one suggesting his hat would "return home like Thor's hammer" upon his release from prison. Shmurda appreciates the humor, acknowledging that internet creativity is unbeaten. Despite these lighthearted reflections, Shmurda also shares the financial allure of staying independent initially, expressing concerns about the exploitative nature of major labels. However, the persistent pressure from law enforcement led him to eventually embrace the support a label offered, aiding his career and keeping legal troubles at bay.
