8 Years Behind Bars
Remy Smith, better known as rapper Remy Ma, was sentenced to 8 years in prison this morning. The 26 year old was teary eyed as her sentence was handed down by the judge. She could have faced up to 25 years in prison for the shooting of a young woman outside of a Manhattan nightclub last summer.Smith was charged with assualt, weapon possession, and attempted coercion.
There are plans for an appeal, as she says the shooting was an accident.
Smith was also supposed to marry her fiance, rapper Papoose, Monday in the Rikers Island jail where she was being held. However that was called off by correction officers after discovering Papoose had a handcuff key. The couple still plan to wed in the future.
