How did I miss this?!?
Remy Ma will be spending more than just her honeymoon in the clink.
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.
The 26-year-old Ma, whose real name is Remy Smith, burst into tears after learning her fate.
In March, a jury convicted her on four counts, including assault, weapons possession and attempted coercion, for shooting Makeda Barnes-Joseph in the gut last July in a dispute over $3,000. She faced more than 25 years behind bars.
After State Supreme Court Justice Rena Uviller handed down the punishment, Ma’s fiancĂ©, fellow hip-hopster Papoose, sparked a melee as he screamed invective at the victim, who took the stand earlier asking for a harsh sentence.
“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.”
