Remy Ma Sentenced to 8 Years in Prison

Brooklyn rapper Remy Ma was sentenced to 8 years in Manhattan Criminal Court for first-degree assault, criminal weapons charges and attempted coercion....a.k.a. She shot her former friend and claimed she stole $3000 from her.

According to SOHH.com, Remy wept as she pleaded to the judge.

"I stand here today as Remy Mackie," she said with tears in her eyes, referring to Papoose's last name. "I'm a loving wife, mother and loving daughter and loving sister to my brothers and sisters."

"I've learned Remy is an intelligent and charitable young woman," the judge said. "She's overcome a difficult childhood. Her music has inspired people in need. She's loved and has support from her family."
After the complementary remarks, the judge turned her remarks to accountability.
"This is somewhat of a pattern. This is not the first time she has been engaged in a violent act. She never took responsibility for her actions. This has nothing to do with rap it's about the actions of one person. Remy is an extremely angry young woman who feels the rules do not apply to her."

Not to be outdone, Papoose (Remy's sorta-husband), got into a shoving match with a court officer while yelling, "All y'all want is f*cking money. This is bullsh*t. Remy is innocent."
