: NEW YORK: Grammy-nominated rapper Remy Ma was led out of a Manhattan courtroom Thursday, weeping and in handcuffs after being convicted of shooting a woman outside a nightclub last summer.
The defense had conceded that the entertainer fired a shot toward a friend she suspected of stealing $3,000 (€1,900), but said it was an accident.
The 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Remy Smith, faces up to 25 years in prison following her conviction in state Supreme Court for assault, weapon possession and attempted coercion.
She quietly wiped away tears as the verdict was read, then wailed loudly and sobbed openly after she was outside the courtroom. Many of her supporters also cried.
Justice Rena Uviller ordered her jailed without bail while awaiting her April 23 sentencing.Remy Ma was nominated for a Grammy as part of the Terror Squad for the 2004 hit "Lean Back." She also has appeared on recordings with Busta Rhymes and Eminem.
The rapper was acquitted of witness tampering and gang assault, charges related to a Bronx nightclub attack on the boyfriend of a witness who ultimately testified against her.
Remy Ma got into Makeda Barnes Joseph's car after a party at the Manhattan nightclub on July 14, 2007, and demanded that she dump her purse.
Assistant District Attorney Michael McIntosh said the defendant "took an illegal .45-caliber automatic and loaded it with hollow-point bullets," then used both hands to cock the weapon as she got into the car. "She took every step you had to take to shoot somebody," said the prosecutor.
Defense lawyer Ivan Fisher said the gun went off accidentally as the women struggled over the bag.
Joseph, who was shot in the abdomen, testified that she underwent three surgeries during a three-week hospital stay.
***!! oh well she had to know that could have happened!! before she pulled the gun out on the girl. She *** that *** on purpose!! *** her don't do the crime if you can't do the time. People kill me after they do some dumb *** they're so sorry and want to cry!!! ***!!!YOU PULLED THE TRIGGER!! How was it a mistake?? once you put the *** in the chamber and *** it back that's it!!! DON'T CRY NOW ***!!!
I like Remy.. I really do. But, just another example. # 1. The little bit of money that she does have isn't going to buy her way out of jail; #2. She's in the public eye- she needs to conduct herself a little bit more properly. I mean, stars are only human, they make mistakes, to err is human. But you know what, if you know all eyes are on you, then you know one of those eyes is gonna catch yo' *** out there doing something you *** be!
REMY IS THAT B*TCH. AND THE HOTTEST FEMALE RAPPER OUT. SO NOW EVE WITH HER WACK A@@ IS GOING TO DROP. YOU KNOW LIL KIM IS GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING SLICK TO SAY AND NICKI MINAJ IS GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE. I JUST WANT SO SAY REM HOLD YA HEAD NIQUE STILL F@CKS WITH YOU. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SON AND IMA PRAY FOR YOU HOMIE. LOVE, NM
Most of you are saying you feel sorry for her son, as I do too, but do you think Remy was thinking about her son when she pulled the trigger? HELL NO! So I don't feel not an ounce of sorrow for her ***, she got what she deserved and hopefully her son will be taken care of by someone more responsible then his own mother, when she go down.
You know what....that's sad, but it's also what her azz gets. What you need to take a gun in the club for? She was getting money, that's what you hire bodyguards for...if they dumb enough to do it, let them take the heat like Puff did! And what kind of friends you rollin' with? If you ain't known her since at least 5th grade, she ain't your *** friend no *** way! She better appeal...hope she got enough money for that...and you know homegirl gonna sue her...***...her career and life is jacked for $3000. Quel dommage!
so frickng sad. all the rappers saying " i thank god for this and that and how much they really want to be here" OKKKKKAAAAAAAYYYYYYY YY!!! and all i see them doing is jail time and cmnty service. they dont realize what they have. all through out their career you aint seeing a tear cuz they are so invincible and then they get to wear those metal bracelets and they wanna cry and be normal??? big girls dont cry!!hopefully that *** dont get 25yrs. she luckie homegirl didnt die cuz then she woulda had a manslaughter charge.... WAKE UP YALL IMCOMPETENT, DONT ACT LIKE THEY APPRECIATE ***, SORRY EXCUSE FOR AN ARTIST HUMAN RAPPERS!!!...notice the word HUMANNNNNNN
You kill for your family thats it and they should put you in a situation to have to but 3000 dollars. 3000 dollars. I smoke that its nothing. And for a mainstream rapper always singing about getting that cake. 3000 G's you stomp her out but to waste your life for 3 G's. I got no sorrow for her. She seem *** and she all hard so jail my be good for her. Unless you protecting a family member keep it old school knock a MF out.
*** DIDNT *** WIT REMY LIKE DAT BUT THIS IS SUM *** ***!!!! I WILL PRAY 4 HER BABY!!!
AND THHOSE OF YOU WHO SAY SHE WASENT THINKIN OF HER SON WHEN SHE PULLED THE TRIGGER ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND ANY REAL MOTHER IS ALWAYS THINKIN OF THEIR CHILD IN ANY SITUATION!!!!!!!!!!!!

A real hustler b*tch(LIKE ME) blows that on bags and shoes...I would have charged that to the game and cut her water...Well, aint no LV bags, pedicures and lacefronts where you're going...You THINK you're crying now, wait til they test your punk azz in the can...SMH...oh, and thats what the eff I call a "DUMB" reaction!
she was locked up immediately cuz she WILLINGLY and KNOWINGLY loaded a 45 with hollows when she got MAD...u dont think this hoe was a threat to society??? She clearly does not know how to conduct herself and thats what happens to "rebels"...B*tches need to get their mind right, that hard sh*t is NOT CUTE...Always a lady, here...

I have kids too, thats why I havent caught a case yet, whoadie...SHE OBVIOUSLY wasnt thinking of duke when she loaded the 45...For every action, there is a REACTION...FIRST law of the streets so I dont know where u come from pad'nah...She's just an immature SELFISH hothead who talked the talk and is CRYING NOW cuz she cant WALK THE WALK...her case was open and ***..wasnt even a DEFENSE cuz SHE HAD NONE...other than just being STUPID...I wouldnt give a *** if it was 100k, I think about every situation and how it would affect my kids...real STREET talk
I cant stand the cowards and street punks that post on this site...
Hold ya head up remy....
and if a punk rob me of $$$ i will be in jail like her!!!
*** the Law!!! the police dont even follow them...
now she and TI could have handled the *** different but we as people make mistakes...
i guess im just cut from a diffrent cloth... im leather... and these street punks are terry cloth... that mean they very soft...
@hot bunny...
its not that we think she should not due no time...
but the way people on here comment is un called for...
you beat a cat over 20.00... imagine if you would have accidently killed dude...
you got that 30 year sentenced and people on here commenting on you situation like thats what hot bunny gets...
in the end jail isnt a laughing matter... and it will only make her colder... they dont rehabilitate you... they make you an animal...
The only person that I feel sorry for is the victim in this case, who had to lay up in a hospital in pain, getting surgeries to save her life. Remy knew what she was doing, and now she is paying for it.
What kills me is her boo-hooing on the way out of court. What the fcuk you crying for? You wasn't crying when you went and got an illegal gun, you weren't crying when you wanted to play gangsta and *** that girl, so dont go crying when you get held accountable.
Its harsh, but that woman she *** could have died. Hollow points??? Its a serious crime and I believe she will get a serious sentence.
illslogic, that is why some many of us are in jail. We fall into dumb as* sh*t, U glorifying HER, Fu*k HER. Waht about the chick she ***, what about her son, what about her family, she did some dumb niG*a *** and now she will do time. It is time to wake up, stop telling me about the streets, I did that *** and in the end when U GROW up U 2 will realize that she has noone to blame but herself and just becuz it will happen on the STREETZ doesn't make it any less DUMB. I'm not saying she wouldn't have paid for stealing my money but I wouldn't get in the car, *** her, don't kill her and then admit I did the sh*t. The world is much bigger than some gotDA*N STREETZ. Open UR eyes and give URself a chance and U just might be able to experience some of it. PEACE, LOVE AND HAIR GREASE
yea, yall thats talkin s**t about her gettn locked up all f**ked up in the head alot people react before thinkin things thru. especially if someone stoled some s**t from u!!!! anyway keep ya head up remy but she shoulda took a plea bargin foreal. but if i was remy i would make sure somebody *** that b**ch again!

FUGG WHAT YOUR LAME *** IS TALKIN BOUT, STEAL 3 THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM ME I'M BUSTIN YOUR *** HEAD OPEN AND I WOULDN'T GIVE A FUGG IF I'M A MILLIONAIRE. ANYBODY WOULD'VE DONE SOMETHING TO THAT B*TCH FOR STEALING THAT TYPE OF CASH FROM THEM SO FUGG YOU PHAGGIT AND GO THE FUGG TO HELL.
The American female, for the longest time has been complaining about wanting to share in the same equalities that men share. The American women, has now achieved much of those equalities. However, with these equalities now comes great responsibilities. With these responsibilities, comes penalties, for the abuse of those responsibilities. The American women can not have it both ways. If certain women willfully chose to engage in the same nefarious actions, and behaviors, that men have been exhibiting since the beginning of time, then women will be equally held accountable for penalties that come with gender equality. In street terms --- (Get down like a man--- go down like a man) E.
mofos keep sayin that its real 2 cap a b*tch behind 3k r fugazis...she spent 50xs that on the lawyer, is losing her freedom and her kid will be motherless..wtf is "real" about that? the STREET code is to act when necessary but this here is some bullsh*t and it ranks right up there with ti's dumb azz..I been "hood" all my life BUT I STILL choose my battles wisely and yall not about 2 glorify this IDIOT...the gulliest
I DONT LIKE NOBODY PLAYIN ON MY PHONE!.....WHEN KEEPIN IT REAL GOES WRONG!!!! HA HA HA...THATS SAID...SHE COULD HAVE DID A SHOW AND GOT 3 STACKS....WELL PROB NOT SEE AINT HOT ANYWAYS..I KNOW SHE WAS NOT BEING BUMPPED DOWN HERE IN THE ATL...NOT EVEN ON THE RAIDO..LET ALONE IN SOMEBODYS CAR BUT AY.....SHE AINT ABOVE THE LAW...NOW SHE HAS TO PAY THE PRICE JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
Sometimes you just gotta think about the reprecussions of your actions. No amount of momey is worth spending a better part of your life in jail over and it most definately aint worth a life. Hope she has learned her lesson on keeping her *** cool and as Keisha Cole says.....LET IT GO...."it aint worf it miss celie what wit I been thru...."
Awww Wow!!!!
You can't cry after the fact.....you shoulda known that you can't *** someone and expect to get away with it.
But *** she lookin' at 25 years? *** her life is basically over.....that is too bad.
It's all up to the judge. I don't think she'll do 25 years but she's definitely facing a serious jail sentence....WOW.
I don't feel for her I feel for her son, who was bad enough going to be raised by HER but now is going to be in the system or with "family" who messed up her life. *** when will black folks get it together.She was so talented yall have to listen to her mixtapes she is better than some dudes man. And yall on here talking bout "this is real street sh!t" need to *** up! F^cking internet gangsters. What gangsta goes on the internet let alone a f^cking gossip site? Fakes.
THE WHITE MAN AND DECENT BLACK PEOPLE IS TIRED OF ALL THESE RAP NEGROS AND THEIR WEAPONS! *** PEOPLE AND SENDING OUT NEGATIVE IMAGES OF BLACKS THROUGH OUT THE WORLD! REMY MA WANTED TO BE GANGSTER BY *** THAT YOUNG LADY NOW SHE WILL BE IN JAIL AND THOSE *** WILL TELL HER TO LEAN BACK WHILE THEY CHEW HER UP! ALL THESE NEGROS SHOULD GO TO JAIL! THEY GET FAME AND A LITTLE MONEY AND WANT TO *** UP EVERY *** BODY AND ACT A FOOL.......*** EM ALL THATS WHY I LISTEN TO OLDIES ITS NO GOOD MUSIC OUT ITS ALL ***!
She deserves every one of those years. She could have very easily taken the life of another over $3,000. Sorry....she deserves just what she gets.
BTW...stupid defense...a gun will not just "go off" during a struggle. Someone has to pull the *** trigger. I can already tell...bad defense attorney. Don't try this defense.
WHO KNOWS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. BUT I HOPE SHE DIDNT *** THAT GIRL OVER MONEY. LIKE IF YOUR SO GUAPED OUT LIKE YOU CLAIM IN YOUR SONGS F THAT B STOP CHILLIN WIT HER AND KEEP ON GETTIN THAT MONEY. YOU GONNA *** THE HOE AND NOW YOU AINT GONNA BE GETTIN *** BUT JAIL TIME. PEOPLE NEED TO ENVISION THEIR FUTURE AND WEIGH IT AGAINST THE MOMENT...

KEEP YUR FAMILY CLOSE BUTKEEPYURENEMIESCLO SER...
Justice Rena Uviller ordered her jailed without bail while awaiting her April 23 sentencing.Remy Ma was nominated for a Grammy as part of the Terror Squad for the 2004 hit "Lean Back." She also has appeared on recordings with Busta Rhymes and Eminem. ------------------------------------------------- Let this be a lesson. Grammy's and money don't make give you RESTRAINT and it for *** sure won't turn you into a LADY!!!! She wanted the streets, the HOOD (smoking a blunt during an interview looking *** dumb) well, NOW she got it!!! I don't feel sorry for her. This is what happens when you take ppl with TRIFLING tendencies to begin with and put your blinders on for the sake of a Grammy and some cash. THAT DUMMY!!!
To the male rappers: When you bring a chick in the game, take her *** to etiquette school first THEN put her on. *** :)
$3 GRAND????!!!! I got that RIGHT NOW to give to her!!! SMH
That's real sad and I feel even worse for her little boy... However, *** somebody is taking it too far.. And yes stealing any amount of money is totally "WRONG" but the consequences are far worse... That *** could have had that money any day and a guaranteed beatdown some other day...
Silver bracelets just aren't my thing.. *** shame.... "NO more walking around the metal detectors"
..... cuz she's such a "Fckn Lady"?, get real, she *** many are poison to tha young folk who are lookn for ppl of tha industry to look up to. come on now, y u actin like a ***!gga for? ppl are so *** confused its sickenin... a little thing like freedom is what she really gonna miss.. i mean i understand where her anger came from but when u react on emtions , 9 times out of 10 u will do something u will regret as in her situation... i hope tha best for her but she def gotta deal wit tha consequences...
i don't feel bad at all. you think hood then you you do hood jail LOL. nah, but on the real she got what she deserves. it was no accident, why she bring a gun then? that's sad but when all you know is the hood and that's all you want to be, you ain't gonna go far. you either get locked up or die from the street life.
$3,000 is chump change to people with money... That's Diddy's bar tab- come on now... that wasn't worth *** nobody. Not to mention, she's a celeb now- Did she not hear Jay say "If you *** me- You're famous, but if I *** you- I'm brainless... What's a *** to do?" Basically, she was asking for it- you know when you're a celeb, you're made an example of all the time- so she needed to be smarter than that... And once again in the great words of CamelFace "My time is money, and 25- I can't afford it"... While she's in jail, she's losing more money than $3,000 potential income- so was it really worth it??? NOT!!!!!
Go buy a hov album and try to get a little street smarter- because that didn't prove she was hood- it proved she was DUMB.
You know what....It's unfortunate, however Remy knew what she was doing, otherwise the gun would not have come out.....She made a choice to risk her life, career, and freedom over $3000 and for every action there is a reaction......She is now living the dark side of all that *** she raps about......She chose. I hope that if she goes to jail, she will come out a better, wiser woman....And personally I wish she had either resorted to just accepting the loss or if she was that mad - she could have just slapped the Bi@#% up.....Still wouldn't be right, but she would not be facing these type of charges....Anyway, Remy - I'm not a fan, but I'm somewhat saddened and if you go away, whos blonde bang will I laugh at?.......LoooooL! Ba-dump-dooshhhh!
Even if the gun went off by "accident" it's still considered pre-meditated. She *** have had it in the first *** place. And you that mad? Over 3 Grand? Aren't you a star supposedely? I can see an *ss whippin or somethin ,but *** the girl wasn't even neccesary. She'll have plenty of time to think about it now, and she will realize that it wasn't even worth it. Too late now!!!
that's what her stupid *** gets. it would be one thing if she snatched the chick up cuz she thought she stole the money- it would still be wrong, SUE her if you think she stole it, and have HER go to jail for larceny- but you don't go around just *** people!! her son will be better off now anyway. he'll heal from the shock of his mother being taken away, and be hopefully be raised by loving foster/adoptive parents who have more sense. trust me with Remy as a mother, he woulda turned out no good.
