Remy Ma Locked Up For the Next 8 Years

Sandra Rose May 13, 2008

A Manhattan judge sentenced rapper Remy Ma to 8 years in prison for shooting her former best friend in the gut. Her mentally-challenged boyfriend, rapper Papoose kirked out in the hallway outside the courtroom.

The rapper Papoose exploded in a fit of anger outside a Manhattan courtroom this morning just moments after his tearful bride-to-be, Remy Ma, faced down an eight-year sentence for shooting a woman outside of a West Side hot spot last summer.

“Get the fuck off me. Fuck ya’ll. Fuck jail,” screamed Papoose as his 10-person entourage restrained him and court officers told him to move it along and exit the hallway outside of Manhattan Supreme Court. “I don’t care. Lock me up. Lock me up. Take me to jail. Arrest me. It’s all about money.” (Source)

Her man tried to break her out!!!!! From NY Daily News:

Remy Ma’s wedding called off when hubby-to-be Papoose smuggles in key

BY JO PIAZZA
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Updated Tuesday, May 13th 2008, 12:00 AM

Wedding – or prison break?

Remy Ma’s jailhouse nuptials were abruptly called off Monday when her rapper groom, Papoose, showed up with a most curious wedding present: 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 correction official told the Daily News.

“The key that was found today easily opened handcuffs that we and other law enforcement officials use,” the official said.

Now the 29-year-old Brooklyn-born Papoose – real name Shamele Mackie – won’t be able to see his fiancée until November.

“The visitor was sanctioned by not being able to visit Rikers Island again for six months,” the official said. “He was asked to leave.”

So was Papoose trying to break out his rap queen, whose real name is Remy Smith, from the joint?

Neither his or her camp were saying – but Remy has every reason to be eager to get cut loose.

The 26-year-old Terror Squad rap princess faces up to 25 years at today’s sentencing for shooting her friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph in the stomach last July outside a Meatpacking District club.

Papoose was not charged after he voluntarily surrendered the key to authorities.

He was quickly ushered out of the jail and never got to enter the prison island’s Rose M. Singer chapel in which the two were set to say their “I do’s.”

He is LAME!!!

Dayum!!! That’s what her ass gets, she shouldn’t have shot that chick!
bloggergirlz

classic case of, “when keeping it real goes wrong”…

they def made an example outta her…i guess that fake a$$ gangster likestyle finally caught up w/ her…now her son has to visit her in the pen (what a shame)…the civil lawsuit will be active once again (she’ll really be broke)…i want to see how long papoose hangs around (let’s keep it real)…

the female rappers are catching more time than then the guys these days…
pointhimout

how she get 8 years for that? it was wrong, but the chick aint dead or paralized. interesting. he’s really into her, huh?
MOCHAMOMMY

u do stupid shit, u get stupid time
bloggergirlz

@ pointhimout: u r joking right? she shot her friend (which could’ve easily been an attempt murder charge) and she intimidated witnesses…i’m curious, how much time did you think she should get? if i ever shot someone i would want someone like you on my jury…real talk…
mizzdallas

Maybe if she would of had T.I kind of money she would have gotten off easy!!
african_dude

this is what the jdge said by the time of the verdict

“This is somewhat of a pattern. This is not the first time she has been engaged in a violent act. She never took responsibility for her actions,” the judge said. “This has nothing to do with rap it’s about the actions of one person. Remy is an extremely angry young woman who feels the rules do not apply to her.”

oh sandra rose…hmmm i think i might have heard that white people sent remy ma to shoot another black woman…lmao! hmm sandra what do you think? lmao.! y`all negros kill me
estyle4039

Remy shouldn’t be advertising the 80’s Baby . . .lol. In my neighborhood “80’s Baby” is synonymous with “Crack Baby”. And her mentality (along with the boyfriend) fits the bill. LMAO.

Damn Remy I can’t defend u in this one

____________________________________________________________

Difference between Remy Ma & T.I.

T.I. did not shoot his friend over $3,000…

What makes it so bad is that she said that she “thought” her friend had stole her $$….wouldn’t a normal person make sure all the facts were had before accusing?

She’s gonna have a lot of time to do some more thinking….
african_dude

that negro called papoose should be locked
that “its all about money mentality“ have them thinking they can do what they want
what a failure ! smh
intensemocha

SHE GOT OFF EASY

LUCKY HER SHE BETTER TAKE HER TIME AND THANK GOD SHE DIDN’T GET THE MAX-WHO KNOWS SHE’LL PROBABLY BE OUT EVEN SOONER THAN THAT IF SHE ACTS RIGHT

STICK A FORK IN IT “REMY MA” YOUR A$$ JUST GOT A PASS
prynsexxx

Papoose needs to sit his mongoose lookin ass down somewhere, after that stunt he just pulled.

He shouldn’t have even been no where near the justice system facilities.

Yellin’ “Take me to jail” What?

I don’t see her doing 2 years. They will probably let her off on “shock probation”.
Mz_Magnificent1

Yeah I’m with Katgirl33…comparing TI to Remy is like comparing apples to oranges.

Shyt Remy tried to kill someone…
Mz_Magnificent1

@ prynsexxx oh I see her doing real time…Remy isn’t considered a celeb.

Remy isn’t even considered a celeb within the Black entertainment industry…I doubt she has a Lyor Cohen, Jay-Z, or a major figure with pull to vouch for her “good behavior”. Thats another difference between TI and Remy…
Kymystry

@ african_dude …. who is the them .. they and Yall you keep referring to in your Posts ?

I’m with Mochamommy… You do stupid stuff .. You Do stupid time ….

hilarious Dave Chappelle reference … when keepin it “real” goes wrong … priceless
HouStar

I dont know how it works in New York… But in Texas 8 years really means only about 4… still a long time… but considering what she did she is lucky.
MOCHAMOMMY

So what was TI gonna try to do with his guns? Sandra said collect them… What do u think he got them for? To clean em & put them away? No!! Guns are made to be murderous weapons. I have 3 guns & I know I will try to KILL someone with all 3 if they broke into my home or attacked me.

Her ass shoulda got the 25… A year for each dollar she THOUGHT the chick stole. And Papoose wants to go to jail? Send his monkey ass there & watch how fast he says “I didnt mean it”
kpakpando

all about what money? what afternoon fcukery is this?
GAGIRL73

SOME PEOPLE TAKE THIER OWN LIFE FOR GRANTED, AND LIFE OF OTHERS FOR GRANTED WHICH IS SO SAD. WHAT ABOUT HER SON NOW? SHE DID NOT THINK ABOUT HIM! ONE PERSON’S ACTIONS CAN TEAR A FAMILY APART AS PROVEN OVER AND OVER AGIAN!!! 3 G’S HAD MORE VALUE THAN HER SON! MY KIDS ARE PRICLESS!!!! REAL TALK!!
Negrito

She’s lucky she only got 8 years. It could’ve been much worse. She’ll not spend 8 years in jail though. Anyway I feel sorry for her 8 year old son.
gemini83

She will only do half of the 8 yrs. That’s “if” she acts like she has some damn sense!
teecee

this is sad, as my g-ma use to say, if you make your bed hard
………

why is that lil troll acting out ? i would lock his ass up just because hes asked too. lol i know he wont be able to find another woman interested in him, but he can always buy one ! lol
ChokLitFactory

I’m sure what Papoose meant about his “its all about money” comment was that if Remy Ma had more money she could afford a better lawyer (re: R.Kelly,T.I, Michael Jackson etc) and she would be able to get off with some probabtion shyt. I’ve seen it happen all the time. I’ve seen Drug Dealers get off for attempted murder for $10,000! It happens everyday. Attempted murder ain’t shyt! They sent a message alright, next time, bring da cash out!!

****

LMAO . . .see that’s the 80’s baby mentality I was talking about . . .$3,000!!!! $3,000!!! Eight years of her life, locked up for 23 hours a day for the next eight years for shooting someone b/c she “thought” the woman stole $3,000 out of her pocketbook. She could have gotten that back on her tax return if she added a few dependants! $3,000!!!! 80’s Baby!!!!!

@ african_dude..If you disagree with someone simply disagree calling a person a moron because you don’t like what they typed is unnecessary. Also do not LUMP all of us together..the statement” y`all negros kill me” and “they” who is they? I suggest you start correcting yourself or you will get you behind ran off this board

Agreed, we can agree to disagree but please no name calling. The purpose of a blog is to bring people together to share our polictics, entertainment & other social events.
heavn_sent

Everyone is mentioning her son, and feeling sorry for him..I ‘ve felt sorry for him since I read an article about her in Vibe a few years back. She was saying how much he looked up to 50 and how she didn’t see anything wrong with that! She also didn’t see the problem with violent video games, videos etc. She went on to say someting like she was going to keep it real with him and blah, blah, blah. I was mortified. From that day forward, I knew she was ‘touched’. Women like her are a very signifigant part what’s wrong with the Black family. And now another Black child is forced to spend atleast the next 4 years of hidlife without a mother and a father. **SMDH** **Crying Black Tears**

Here in New York, because a gun was involved, she has to do at least 85% of her time, hence the Shyne situation. He’s not eligible for parole until October 2009. There are ways to get out of it, like work release or halfway programs, etc. But you still have to do 85% combined in the system.

I’m a Grown-Ass man now but when I was a youngster my Uncles were the type that would’ve shot and potentially killed someone for stealing $3,000 from them…
But in their minds they would’ve did it on principle, not the amount of money that was involved… Friends don’t steal money from Friends!!!

Now me, I would hope that someone I consider a friend would Try-n-Successfully steal $3,000 from me

When will people realize that there are rules for white people and then there are the rest of us. A person of color is just begging for trouble when they go out of their way to display reckless behavior. It’s hard enough for the rest of us who live on the right side of the law. Even then, we realize that when you’re not white, you are always on the wrong side.

Her problem is that she was trying to prove that she is indeed the hardest chick in the game and she ended up paying dearly for it. Have you heard any of her old records talking about how she was gonna give a chick an abortion with her bare hands. I don’t feel sorry for her. She obviously doesn’t care about herself, her son or life in general. And then the idiota had the nerve to go on the radio last week before her sentencing and talked mad sh*t about the CO’s. That’s a sure fire way to make friends, I’m sure. She’s a bird and unfortunately for her she won’t be able to fly the coup for 8 long years. Maybe she’ll start giving a damn then.

As for Papoose, from personal knowledge, I thought he was smarter than this. The game has really f*cked him up. smh

You know what I love about SR is the simple fact that we can all come together to defend one another especially the ones who have been around for a minute(lol) I think African Dude just wanted to be fed thats all but I chose not to pick up the spoon on this one I think 2bme has said it all!!

Well u rah that’s what happens when you shoot someone; accident or not…it’s a shame that now she is just realizing that it wasn’t that deep; life is too short but we make these dumb snap decisions over foolishness. Interesting though how some would not have taken it there with the whole gun toting and then others who don’t hesitate to grab a gun. Life is not a tape recorder; it can not be rewound.

@ pointhimout

We all know the way the laws are written, that the system isn’t a perfect system. So i won’t waste my time and get into it. The cops got off, because the DA didn’t prove their case. I Live here in NY, so i know. The DA put a half ass effort into the (imo), and couldn’t counter anything the defense put up. And there were many other reasons, but the two don’t compare, if you followed the cases you would know…..im not gonna get into it.

Remy walked around like she was above everyone. Everyone saw remy shoot this gurl, and then take off. I mean wtf…over some $$$…and her supposed friend. Remy had been cocky (imo) during the trial. She really thought she was going to get off. As if its okay, to shoot someone, and you can go about doing ya thing. I don’t feel sorry for her. 8 years,…..she got lucky.
Mspeng

8 YEARS?? That woman should have gotten the maximum penalty. not only did she shoot her friend…clearly with the intention of killing her. It was only God why that girl didn’t die and Remy woulda been doing a life sentence now. But after the shot the girl, she first said she didn’t. Then after she admitted it and said the gun ACCIDENTALLY went off. You shoot your friend ACCIDENTALLY and you feel no remorse for what you did. That’s sad and I don’t even think the 8 years will change her from the person that she is. However, it will keep her agressive, crazy a$$ off the streets to be shooting up other people.

And for pointhimout…What do you mean she only got 8 years. ONLY??? What if someone shot you and you miraculously managed to survive their awful aim…What would you say if they got only 8 years for trying to take your life. I’m sure you’d be upset that it wasn’t more…

Remy Ma deserves what she got and then some…you wanna play a gangster, do GANGSTA TIME!!!
