Today a Manhattan Supreme Court Judge sentenced Remy Ma to eight years in prison for shooting her friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph over money. She was sentenced to five years on the weapons charges and three on coercion. The sentences are to run concurrently for a total of eight years. Remy Ma was very upset with the sentence. “I’m not a thug,” Remy Ma told the judge. “I’m not a hardcore anything, I have feelings. I’m a wife, mother, daughter, big sister.” As you may recall in March a Judge found Remy Ma guilty of multiple counts of assault and weapon possession. She was also charged with witness tampering and gang intimidation, however, the Judge later threw the charges out. Remy Ma’s Supporters were also present in the court room wearing “Free Remy” T-shirts in red and white. After the verdict was announced, Remy’s family and friends walked out of the court room screaming and in tears. Papoose, her fiancé, who was also there had a shocked looked on his face when the Judge delivered the verdict. Papoose later got into an argument with court officers and had to be escorted out.  “Fuck jail,” he yelled as his friends pulled him away. “Fuck jail, lock me up. I don’t care, y’all just want money. She didn’t’ do nothing.” This is just a day after his incident at Riker’s Island where he was allegedly going to wed Remy (see earlier story).
