Such a damn shame…
Remy Ma was found guilty on two charges of assault Thursday (March 27) in Manhattan Supreme Court. She faces up to 25 years if convicted on both counts.
The rapper, 26, wiped away tears as the verdict was read, then “wailed loudly and sobbed openly” as she left the courtroom in handcuffs, according to The Associated Press.
The charges stem from incident that occurred last July when the rapper and Makeda Barnes-Joseph argued after leaving a mutual acquaintance’s birthday party. Remy Ma alleged Barnes-Joseph stole a several thousand dollars from her purse that night; Barnes-Joseph was shot after the two struggled in her car. Remy Ma fled the scene in an SUV but crashed nearby. Neither the money nor the weapon have been found.
Charges of tampering and gang assault, related to the case, were thrown out, the rapper’s attorney, Ivan Fisher, told MTV News on Thursday. Sentencing for the case is scheduled for April 22. - more

And now, Brooklyn rapper Papoose -long-rumored to be her paramour -has confirmed to MTV News that he and Remy were, in fact, a couple and had plans to marry next month.
Pap said the two are moving forward with their nuptials despite Ma’s predicament and are making arrangements to marry in prison.
“We always wanted to keep our personal lives personal, so that’s why we never went public with our relationship,” he wrote in an e-mail to MTV News. “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.”
The couple rebutted rumors earlier in the year when New York radio personality Egypt reported that the two would wed. The next day, Papoose told media outlets the reports were false. He shied away from the relationship question in spite of the affection he showed the former Terror Squad star in lyrics. - more
