Remy Ma Gets Eight Years in Jail
It looks like rapper Remy Ma will be spending the next few years of her life behind bars.
The Punishher rapper was sentenced to eight years in prison today for shooting a female acquaintance outside an NYC nightclub, a spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office confirmed to E! News.
Remy was convicted in March on assault, weapons possession and attempted coercion, for shooting Makeda Barnes-Joseph last July during a dispute over $3,000.
“Get the f–k off me. F–k y’all. F–k jail,” the performer yelled as the hearing ended and bailiffs escorted him out of the Manhattan court. “I don’t care. Lock me up. Lock me up. Take me to jail. Arrest me. It’s all about money.”
“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,” the entertainer said. “Reporters and newspapers have called me a ‘hard-core rapper,’ a ‘hip-hop harlot’—Remy Ma is just a music-industry name. A facade. I’m not a thug. I’m not a hard-core anything. I have feelings. I’m Remy Smith—No, I’m Remy Mackie. I’m a wife, mother, daughter and big sister.”
