Remy Ma Manages To Make Her Sentencing All About Her "Facade"

Remy Ma—née Remy Smith—was sentenced to eight years in jail for a July shooting outside a New York nightclub yesterday, a sentence that resulted in Remy's fiancé Papoose (birth name: Shamele Mackie) swearing at court officers, overturning a nearby garbage can, and daring the guards to lock him up—hey, conjugal visits are out of the question for now, so why not. The sentencing was preceded by a weeping Remy telling the judge that her larger-than-life persona was merely a figment of the media's imagination, and that it was created by record executives for the purposes of moving product: More »

Inappropriate Bridal Gift Results In Hasty Cancellation Of Papoose-Remy Ma Nuptials

Yesterday was supposed to be a beautiful day for Remy Ma, despite her current incarceration in New York's Rikers Island; she was set to be married to her boyfriend, Papoose, in a ceremony that would serve as a prelude for today's sentencing for a shooting incident outside the now-shuttered nightclub Pizza Bar and allow Papoose to come by for conjugal visits while she was in the pokey. (Um, no pun intended) But thanks to Papoose taking the "brides need to have something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue" maxim to heights that may have been inappropriate for the wedding's jailhouse setting—i.e. attempting to slip Remy a universal handcuff key before the nuptials began—the wedding was over before anyone could walk down the aisle.

Remy Ma's sentencing for shooting an acquaintance of hers in the abdomen last summer—for which she was charged with assault, weapons possession, and attempted coercion—has been pushed back from its original April 23 date to May 13. Remy is being held at Rikers without bail until her sentencing, which could keep her in the pokey for as long as 25 years, although sources are claiming that she'll probably only have to serve three to five.

Rapper Papoose To Marry Remy Ma in Jail, Punch Fat Joe in the Face (Again)


Papoose, vocally reminiscent of Jay-Z and physically reminiscent of an emaciated Panthro, swears he will marry troubled rapper Remy Ma, despite her assault conviction last Thursday, which could potentially put her in jail for the next 25 years. "We always wanted to keep our personal lives personal, so that's why we never went public with our relationship," said Papoose. "Right now, I just feel like she gotta live through me. Yes, we were scheduled to be married on a yacht April 27th. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we are now making arrangements to be married in prison." if this wasn't enough chaos, Papoose is still dealing with the fallout of punching Fat Joe in the face. Something the rapper, whose long-delayed debut album has yet to be released, is willing to do again. More »

A New York jury has found Remy Ma guilty of assault charges. Remy—born Remy Jones—was standing trial on a July 14 incident outside the now-shuttered (and really overrated when it was open) Manhattan nightclub Pizza Bar, during which she fired a shot at a "friend" after a quarrel over some stolen money. Remy Ma's defense, which conceded that while she did engage in some light gunplay it was all accidental, didn't convince the jury. She now faces up to 25 years in prison. [AP / Photo: AP]

A witness in Remy Ma's trial—where the rapper stands accused of shooting an associate in the tummy region at a New York eatery—claims she was half-in-the-bag and didn't see Ma with a gun, making her the third witness unable to gauge with any assurance whether Ma was packing that night. [XXL

Remy Ma's most expensive Christmas present? A $10 million civil suit stemming from an incident in July where she allegedly shot another woman after the two argued over money that was missing from the rapper's purse. Also, the purveyor of overpriced "haute" pizza, shitty cocktails, and annoying Meatpacking District attitude where the argument began—Pizza Bar, on 9th Avenue in New York City—is now closed. Let this be a lesson to all of you: When you're craving a late-night slice, avoid any/all places that offer bottle service. Look how badly that decision ended for Remy! [MTV]

"Hip-Hop Cops": Fact Or Fiction Fact Everyone In Power Lies About?

Aside from persistent complaints/cover stories on the part of the rap community and Chamillionaire's beloved-by-TRL video spoof, the "hip-hop police," a squad devoted to tracking the movements of rappers—a profession which at some point got conflated with "suspected criminals" by police departments nationwide—have remained one of those rumors officials can dismiss with a "where's the proof?" wave of the hand. Village Voice writer Adam Matthews documents one run-in between suspected hip-hop cops and an "anonymous rapper," capturing a little of the commonplace harassment, organizational incompetence, and frustrating "blue wall" silence that now characterizes the shady relationship between law enforcement and hip-hop stars: More »

Remy Ma's Eventful Weekend Includes Order Of Pizza With Extra Lead

Bronx rapper, Fat Joe associate, and wannabe martyr Remy Ma is facing an attempted murder charge after a weekend incident at the New York lounge Pizza Bar, where she allegedly shot a cohort after an argument over $2000. Remy is currently out on bail and she's pleading not guilty to the charges, which also include assault and possession of a weapon. But cheer up, Remy—if forensics link you to the shooting, I've figured out a perfect affirmative defense: Having eaten at the dopey Meatpacking District eatery myself, I completely understand why one would be sent into a firearm-toting rage after seeing the bill for their sub-Lean Cuisine attempts at 'za.
