Content: Remy Ma Gets 8 Years, Papoose Sad

Rapper Remy Ma was sentenced to eight years in jail today by a Manhattan Supreme Court judge for shooting her friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph.

The pair were arguing, after Remy discovered $3000 missing from her purse. Anyway. That's bygones now. Remy's going to jail.

”I’m not a thug,” Remy Ma appealed to Judge Rena Uviller, asking for mercy in her sentencing. “I’m not a hardcore anything, I have feelings. I’m a wife, mother, daughter, a big sister.”

(Not strictly true. she was supposed to get married yesterday, but that got fucked up).

Prosecutors lobbied for a 13-year sentence, but the judge settled on eight. Remy Ma’s camp insisted on five years, but both her attorney and management said they were happy with the judge’s leniency. Her lawyer, Ivan Fisher, said he intends to appeal the sentencing.In March. Remy was found guilty of multiple counts of assault and weapons possession. She also had been charged with witness tampering and gang intimidation after an incident occurred in the Bronx where Barnes-Joseph’s boyfriend was attacked. A judge later threw the charges out.

Her finance, rapper Papoose "held a stoic look on his face as he left the courtroom," according to XXL. As mentioned, he and Remy were to marry yesterday, but the ceremony got cancelled when dude was caught trying to smuggle a skeleton key to Remy into the jail. He was banned from seeing her for 6 months. To top it all, dude was kicked out of court after getting into a row with court officers.

”Fuck jail,” he shouted, as he was pulled away during the fracas. “Fuck jail, lock me up. I don’t care, y’all just want money. She didn’t’ do nothing.”

"Its a sad day in america when u can’t shoot a bitch for stealin 3000 from u" noted one chap on the XXl comments section. Say word.
