Remy Ma sentenced to 8 Years

Tuesday, May 13th 2008

“Throughout this unfortunate case, I was advised from my attorney to stay silent but now I want you all to see me for me and what I’ve gone through,” said Remy as tears fell. “Reporters and newspapers have called me a ‘hardcore rapper,’ a ‘hip-hop harlot’ — Remy Ma is just a music industry name. A facade. I’m not a thug. I’m not a hardcore anything. I have feelings. I’m Remy Smith — No, I’m Remy Mackie. I’m a wife, mother, daughter and big sister.”

This is what Remy Ma was quoted as saying as attempted one final time to receive a lighter sentence. Remy was arrested last year after she shot her longtime friend Makenda Barnes-Joseph in the stomach over an alleged confrontation of about $3,000 stolen from Remy’s purse. In March, she was found guilty of first-degree assault, criminal weapons charges and attempted coercion, which lead to her sentencing hearing today.

Papoose Attempts to break his fiancée out of jail

Tuesday, May 13th 2008

1 Comment

Remy Ma’s wedding was called off yesterday when her fiancée Papoose showed up to the jail with none other than … a handcuff key!

“A wedding was scheduled today and a visitor to that wedding service was found to be in possession of jail contraband so the wedding was canceled,” a corrections official told NY Daily News. “The key that was found today easily opened handcuffs that we and other law enforcement officials use,”

The 29-year-old Brooklyn-born rapper whose real name is Shamele Mackie was not charged after he voluntarily surrendered the key to authorities. He was quickly ushered out of the jail before reaching the Rose M. Singer chapel, where the two were set to be married. Now according to the Rikers Island official, Remy and her “ride or die” will not be allowed visitation with each other until November of this year.

He better be happy he was just told not to come back for 6 months instead of being charged for his stupidity!
