New York rapper Remy Ma has been found guilty on three charges stemming from a 2007 incident in which she fired two shots at a long time friend after suspecting her of stealing $3,000 from her purse.
According to the Herald Tribune, Remy Ma was led out of a Manhattan courtroom today (Thursday, March 27th), weeping and in handcuffs after being convicted by the jury.
The defense had conceded that the entertainer fired a shot towards childhood friend Makeda Barnes Joseph, but said it was an accident.
Remy was convicted for assault, weapon possession and attempted coercion but 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.
In other news…
Remy was ordered to be held without bail and faces up to twenty-five years behind bars. Her sentencing is scheduled for April23, 2008.
"Remy's taking this very, very hard. She didn't anticipate this," defense lawyer Ivan Fisher said after the verdict. He added that the rapper had not prepared her 8-year-old son for her imprisonment.

Wow... The ISH has LITERALLY hit the fan... It's curtains for her... Guess K.I.M. gets the last laugh... though, I doubt that since she already knows what it's like to go down... Ain't nothin' funny 'bout seeing one of our own get time, ESPECIALLY a female.
But alas, we all make mistakes, so, I hope she gets through it the best way she knows how and handles her handle.
WoW im not buying the 25 years say it aint so. Hopefully the judge has some compassion for an independent single mother that try to do goos and get her and her son out that hood. This case is so fucked up. I hope she doesn't have many priors.
April 23 is judgment day for Remy lets hope she dont get the 25 year bid. Keep your head up Remy
PS. KEEP SUPPORTING REAL HIP HOP
Now that's just fuckin' sad!
When u look at the situation as a whole...this shit is just fuckin' ridiculous!
Another fuckin' kid growing up without their biological mother because of som bullshit!
This entire case stems down to $3000!
WTF? Is $3000 worth spending half of your fuckin' life in prison? Fuck No! Especially when u walk around with a $10,000+ chain on yua fuckin' neck on a daily basis!
This is the shit I be talkin' about... muthafuckas gettin' emotional and not thinkin' out the situation or more importantly the consequences!
I used 2 be the same hot head...even after I got sued 2x's by niggas that tried to get at me.
The one thing that calmed MY ass down, was the same thing that should've kept her from doin' the dumb shit she "allegedly" did...
My Kid!
Consider ya'selves Wizzed!
~Be Eazy!
Amen Wiz. Evidently this stupid bitch ain't have as much money as we all thought since $3000 dollars was worth givin up a big portion of her life. I never knew she had an 8 year old son. Bein with him growin up shoulda been worth more than that chump change. She fucked up. I mean she really fucked up
U KNOW WHAT IT IS? SHE CAUGHT BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE CUZ U ALREADY KNOW THE JUDGE IS GONNA TRY AND MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF HER... MAN SHE ONE OF THE ILLEST FEMALE MC'S OUT THERE AND ITS REAL SAD FOR HER SON CUZ IN ALL REALITY HE IS THE ONE WHO SUFFERS THE MOST..
damn Ma i hope you don't get hit with the big 25. Man thats fucked up, but what goes around comes around, you can't just shot people over some little money it's not worth the years your going to miss your son grow. damn by time she get out he be damn near 30. everybody that call themselves real nigga's that what being real get you
You people fail to realize that this is not about the money. $3000 is prolly not that crucial to someone of Remy's stature. But when someone does something to break the bond of trust (especially a supposed friend) that might be the worse feeling ever. Though it does not excuse what she alledgely did, it must be understand that's how people in the hood think. When someone takes something from me, I dont care what it is...it can be a beenie baby for all i know, that person will be confronted and I'm going to have to put my work in if need be. Cuz if one person does it to you, you lose credability and everyone is gonna start doing that same shit...it's a deadly cycle, but that's just how shit goes down in the hood
damm i feel srry for her and her kid that really sucks but u shouldnt go doing stupid shit like that
I also heard T.I. is getting 1 year which is pretty good considering what he was facing
T.I. got community service.
and one year i beleive
yeah well you shouldnt go shootin people now we bout to see who gonna dyke out they bid.
Well I disagree with you. Im not looking to argue but the way I see it when you have a child all that hood shit go out the door. You have to put your child before everything and think about the consequences of anything you do. Now she wont even see her son grow up and probably lose her house if no one can keep up the bills. Remy made a bad decision especially over 3000 now their sitting back laughing. See sometimes success breeds envy which is the situation with her ex best friend. But you got to be wise and you know the courts is waiting to make another example out of someone in the rap community. She is the chosen candidate this time. Now she got to do another shine bid.
Some times You gotta be with the bisness my boi... She aint stupid she just with the B.I Yadadimean?
OOPS!!
did she really think she had a chance of beating this? How won’t she prepare her son? I feel bad for the Lil 8 year old. As for Remy Man, Daaaamn,…truly a waste of talent. And the judge sent her a message “ Remy Ma was led out of a Manhattan courtroom today (Thursday, March 27th), weeping and in handcuffs after being convicted by the jury”
So come sentencing she should expect anything,…she can get 15.
I mean well, if T.I. can get off after being caught purchasing weapons, red handed, then who knows!? Anything can happen in this country if you got that, ch-ching!!
no T.I. didnt get off he got 1000 hours community service and will be senteced 1 year from today march 27, 2009 for 1 year plus a day in federal prison
read it here http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6639/title.update-t-i-enters-guilty-plea
that report is still speculation.
t.i shouldn't get longer than remy....Remy shot the girl.. thats enough 2 get a few years.. T.I. just bought guns
that nigga bought an ARMY of guns...put it like this, had it been some douchebag from the corner buying that much amount of fire power, there wouldn't even be a case, that nigga woulda been rotten a long time ago
tru yo celeberties get off easier and they got money
Jocksta hit the point, TI had also silencers that shit alone would get you 5.
But why I believe Remy will get more time those 3 charges alone (assault, weapon possession and attempted coercion) that’s some shit the give Mobsters especially the attempt coercion, wow,…that’s heavy
yea jokesta... good point...if it was a regular person they would have got yearsss
silencers are suppose to carry a minimum of 10 years, but T.I accepted that plea deal so thats why he got the time he got. Remy MIGHT HAVE faced less years if she woulda plead guilty in any event she was doin time I dont see her doin 25yrs tho maybe 5-10 tops
oh another thing T.I charges are federal so his stay will be a lot nicer than Remys
The T.I. thing is still a rumor, nothing has been confirmed yet. I personally find it hard to believe that he'll just that light ass sentence for the shit he got caught with.
I'ma have to concur... I can't wait to see the final result AFTER the speculation.
I Heard He Was Studyin To Be A Preacher Or Somethin Like That...Im Pretty Sure Thats A Rumor Though
Aye Jokesta what happened to the T.I. article?
One minute it was up there and now its gone!
moved it to rumors on the right
DaMn... Wut el5e kould i 5ay But hold ya head!!~free ReMy Ma~ >F.T.P<
She a thug.. let me see her.. i got thugs bacc 24/7
Dumb ass bitch!
I'll hit it tho!
word. i just dont get why ud cap ur long time friend over $3,000??? if u was ballin u wouldnt be crying and shit over that cut
its the principle behind da shit she said lil ma stole it form her but she should have jus whooped her ass or some shit but fuck it its ova n dun wit now 'FREE REMY MA'
Wut A Shame. I'm Like Damn...... It Was All Good A Couple Weeks Ago. 3G's Got Her Mo Than Anything She Expected. A Fair One(Shootin Tha 1's Her And Tha Ex Homegurl) Woulda Been Mo Worth While. They Startin To Make Examples Outta Muhfuccaz Now. Tha System Dun Had It!!!! SCREAM AT ME,1..
LOL@BOO KOO PEOPLE CALLING HER DUMB(well she is) I guess that's when you say "WHEN KEEPING IT REAL GOES WRONG"!!!
Too Funny, she is done
She coulda killed that girl, do your time cuz you damn sure deserve it, come back home and make something of your life.
When keeping it real goes wrong. What a stupid bitch. You gon shoot the bitch you came to the club wit, a few blocks away from the club, in the bitches car. Wow, what a fuckin idiot.
^^I wouldn't of said it so boldly like that. lol But you right. That was some dumb shit on Remy's part.
"she fired two shots at a long time friend after suspecting her of stealing $3,000 from her purse"
SMH @ Remy trying to take a life for 3 stacks?? I guess she ain't that rich. Remy at this point has to look at the bottle half full, b/c she could of got life if home girl died.
If Johhny Cochrane was alive and he defended Remy, she would of got off with like 10 years probation. Real talk.
RIP Johnny (greatest Defense lawyer in American history). A whole bunch of people (Shyne, Remy, Tip, DMX, etc....) are wishing you were still alive.
Remy cant afford no Johnny Cochran my nig!
Dat bitch had "Rand Spear the accident lawyer" or one of them other niggas dat advertise when Jerry Springer is on Tv
True Story!!
Not funny at all!!!
What the fuck are you talking about? Reading is fundamental you stupid fuck?
"New York rapper Remy Ma has been found guilty on three charges stemming from a 2007 incident in which she fired two shots at a long time friend after suspecting her of stealing $3,000 from her purse"
damnnnnnn they hit remy with the 25yr bid....i don't care how gangsta or hard you cats try to be, jail/prison is NOT the place to be, just for shooting someone and not killing them is putting you away for a long time...They are NOT playing with that time now, once you get caught slippin, you are locked down for good....even though you did some ignorant shit remy, hold your head up
All jokes aside though
this is fucked up because she dont have enough star power to come back from this
Niggas aint gon be waitin for Remy to come home like they waitin for Shyne!
She is just gonna fade into Oblivian
Kinda fucked up when U think about it!
I think she's going to get 5 to 10 yrs......
I bet she's not feeling so conceited right now.
Hahahahaaa, she has NO REASON.
Yeah negro, they bout to make an example out of her ass. It aint to often they get ahold of a rapper and they get convicted by a jury before they cop a plea.
They fin to hang this bitch out to dry.
R.I.P TERROR SQUAD!!!!!!!
over 3g's?...must of fell off...well, she did have that verse on Lean Back...mmm, yea must of fell off, Joe aint even payn Puns fam any royalties so i know she aint gettn no checks...
=Cam=
NO THE SHIT AINT FUNNY BUT THIS BITCH FED THE NATION ALL THOSE STAIL ASS COOKIES ABOUT SHE SO FUCKIN HARD AND SHE WOULD MERC A BITCH AND THIS HOOD AND THAT HOOD AND ALL TYPE OF SHIT. BUT NOW THAT THE SHIT DONE HIT THE FAN. THIS IS WHAT THEY SAY. REMY MA IS TAKING THIS REAL REAL HARD. SHE LEFT THE COURT ROOM WEEPING. IF ANYTHING I AM DISOPOINTED AT THE BITCH CAUSE SHE LIED TO US ABOUT HER GANGTERISM. BUT ALL IN ALL I HOPE SHE GETS THROUGH THIS SHIT. KEEP YO HEAD UP REM. I FUCKS WITH U EVEN THOUGH YOU LIED WITH YO WEEPING ASS.
u got to understand she still a female no matter how hard she go they tend to get real emotional
Dont Drop the tampon lol
Her lawyer Fucked her up!
her lawyer couldn't do anythin ...
Rigggggght!! When all else fails blame the lawyer for the dumb shit YOU DID right?? Get the fuck outta here!!!!
yall dont understand the T.I thing.
he was found on a federal Offence and the cops where there when he was trying to by the shit....... and he only got away with 1 year wich is like 7-8 months with good behavior and community service which is nothing
i think he got off
but REMY is going down with this shit.
there is no way i see them doing the same thing for her ,she doesnt not have anything close of the money he has so 5-6 years for her is what i see
No it's literally like 7 or 8 mo.s
A formal year in jail is only nine months long
Fuck both these dumb ass niggas. I hope Remy Ma gets put under the jail, and I hope T.I gets put under the jail Remy gets put under. Fuck her, think about the Family that almost lost their loved one over $3,000! Think about the relatives one of ya;'ll coulda lost to one of soft ass T.I.'s guns. Fuck these ignorant niggas!!!
Fuck you, you fuckin cop! Get da fuck off this site
When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong
5 POP I FEEL YOU DOG BUT THE FACT STILL REMAINS.
the most affected innocent person in the whole thing is her 8-year old son
this is another prime example of rappers doing stupid shit when they get a lil bit of cake...they never stop to think about the consequences of their actions
if it is right what people are sayin about TI gettin only a year and community service....i guess he is one lucky ass nigga
got daymn she going to be old as hell,i think she going to be like 52 if she serve full sentence.i feel sorry fo her son that nigga, she going to miss like atleast 10 years of hes growing up, mayn she needs to learn her lesson she got a seed in front of her, she needs to think before reacting u know what im talking,on the real
keep ya head up remy
very tragic but u gotta use your head in certain situations so shit like this doesnt happen to u
"dont do the crime, if you cant do the time"...I mean she shot a bitch over 3 fuckin stacks...And yeah, you cant accidentally shoot someone in the ab 2 times..get the fuck outta here. Call me a hater, but its the truth. Besides she aint gonna general pop, or level 5 shit, she'll have her own cell, take private showers and eat good cuz of the fat com she'll have built up...c'mon yall, cant you see throught the bullshit. She knew what she was gonna do, it wasnt an accident...plus with those man hands, she couldve easily snacthed her up and whooped her ass for that 3 stacks.
That fucked up. Pussy ass crackers. I would of did the same if a "supposed to be friend" STOLE $3000 instead of asking fo the money. If she stole it once, she'll do it again. Probably done it before. She had every right to go upside her head. I would of put some bullets in her ass, but i wouldn't attempt to kill or be caught shooting. After i finished with her i'll tell her why i did it. Bottom line, keep your hands out of other people cookie jar. Get off yo ass and get it yourself.
If RemyMAN shot your mother or sister, everyone would be at ease.
She got what was coming to her.
RemyMAN should have been at home that night with her son, not out running around partying with guns & hollow tips cocking your gun back @ people @ shooting people....
At the end of the day:
"JUSTICE WAS SERVED"
^^^^ wtf wht r u a cop for the justice deportment stfu she was just doin wht any person from the hood would do if they feel like they getting robbed she put in work not sayin it was right but its hood justice
Bitch shut the fuck!
If that was your mom that got shot, u wouldnt care....?
So just cuz Remy's from the hood, it's ok for her to try & 'kill' someone for 3G's ?
You sound so fucking dumb & ignorant. I bet you didnt even make it past 6th grade u dumb fuck!
Go cry & die, your a waste of space & oxygen on this earth!
Remy deserved what she got!
She talks so much shit about "smacking these bitches", why didnt she just get out & fight .....?
yea but what if you were out all drunk one night and u went to your car and u were wit one of ur boys u dont chill wit all dat much and u noticed that 3g's was missin and u happen to be strapped that night and then one thing leads to another and u see his ass talkin to some bitches wavin ur money in his face what would u do??? Would u be wondering if he was someones dad or someones son?? No you would pull ur gun out and get ur shit back but when u go to get it back he try to come at u so what u do??? U SHOOT! BAnk his ass
lol, that's some dumb shit. You jus gonna shoot him right there huh? In front of everybody cuz thats just how you get down. Fuck outta here, If thats true yous one dumb motha fucker.
Heres what you do, you ask him can you holler at him over here in the cut. You ask him is that your money. If he come at you wrong and you know its yours you say ok son I aint even sweatin it.
You take him back around the way (if he rode with you), you follow him back around the way if he didnt. And you pop him in the hood if it comes down to that.
You should be able to just beat his ass for real if you hard like that. That you can do at the club.
But just shooting at the club, only dumb emotional motha fuckas do that hot ass shit. Go to jail loser. Stay away from us people who like to do our dirt and get away with it. I dont want none of your hotness catching onto anybody else.
man i've known niggas who've got popped in plane sight and what it comes down too is fuckin snitches
you right. Can you guarantee aint nobody gonna snitch at the club? You dont know them motha fuckas. I know aint nobody gonna snitch in the hood though, least not mine.
"Poor Remy, Keep Your Head up Remy" Do you fuckers need some tissue? Are you ignorant fucks serious??? Its about time one of these fucken celebrities pay due for the bullshit crimes they do.
Stick a fork in that bitch! Remy Ma deserves what she got!!!
These comments can't be made by niggaz. Ol' police ass nigga...say i know u working.
JUST LOCK DAT HOT BLONDE BANG AWAY PLE PLE PLEASE LOCK DAT SHIT UP IN SOME SHIT WIT NO KEY LOL BUT ON A SERIOUS NOTE HER SON NEED HER SO SHE HAS MY BEST WISHES
Damn...Remy...!!! "When keepin it real goes wrong" Pt.2... Time to get some "Free Remy" shirts made... Nah, on a serious note I'll keep her and her son in my prayers.
