Celebrity Justice
Washed-Up Rapper Now Locked Up Rapper

Dayum that's a long time! A judge has just sentenced Remy Ma to eight years in the slammer for shooting a woman outside a NYC nightclub. She had faced up to 25 years.
Remy Ma
Remy, whose real name is Reminisce Smith, cried as she heard the sentence, claiming last summer's shooting was an "accident." Her lawyer says he'll appeal.

Adding more ridiculousness to her drama, correction officers at Rikers Island say they called off Remy's weekend wedding at the jail after her fiance, rapper Papoose, tried to sneak in a handcuff key! He was kicked off the island and told he couldn't come back for six months. That's gonna hurt those conjugal visits!

16. good. bout time the law crack down on these crack heads. They don't even make music. They just talk about how much weed they smoke and how many people the rob and steal from. Hope they lock the rest up too. That DMX, that Xzibit, X clan...and all the other x's and remys out there. Just stupid.

17. Nice try by her future husband...why isnt he being charged and locked up? That isnt justice thats stupid.

Will the next Generation of Blacks still accept this way of life as part of their Culture? How shameful this past and current generation has been to the Eyes on the Prize. Education apparently doesnt matter anymore, getting high, getting off, getting over, and getting some is all that does I guess.

Middle Class Blacks rose up above it and dont want this...Rappers and ;thugs and prison life glorified...its a disgrace to an entire culture. Change it, and quit playing victim. White folk dont want to give anymore...most have seen enough. Whites aint perfect, but damn, this nonsense isnt glorified and white kids grow out of it...black kids become it...

18. Can the racist comments stop PLEASE? I am a black female with a top college degree and come to TMZ for entertainment. All black people are not like her.....OKAY. I don't act like this...my friends don't and it is just sad to see that people are so racist every time there is person of color on here. As a white person you have no idea what it is like growing up black and the challenges we face and there are so many positive blacks out there. Please keep you ignorant comments to yourself. PLEASE!

23. She got busted because she is young and black and was just starting to make a name for herself. Get real. They made an example of her. Otherwise she would never be doing time.

24. listen i feel for her but she is really a wash up overrated rapper okay - not a thug- she has a young daughter - she should have thought about it before she pulled her gun to shoot someone over a petty amount- i really pray for her mom & daughter- she on the other hand will be an wash up old woman by the time she gets out- with papoose moving on!!!!!!!

25. Why are educated black people not stopping this or at least speaking against it? This whole culture that came together in the last about 20 years or 15, where its fashionable to degrade women, not be "white", wear your clothes big and baggy like in prison, but on the street to hide your guns and stash, where you have a self image of zero, make children but dont raise them, and have a streak of violence that is beyond scary.

its a real shame...the world should be everyones oyster yet some choose, yes, choose not to take it. The 50's and 60's are over where being black did prevent people from gaining jobs and education and housing...not anymore.

Oh, and anyone responding on this site probably isnt poor..you got a computer, internet access and time to read a TMZ site. You're middle class and probably live in a safe environment.

I'm not prejudice...I just dont like this particular cultures role models, music, and what and who they degregate. Do you?

Dialouge on Race is what should occurr, instead the haters and bashers and name callers come out.. Progress cant be made unless both sides can speak freely. jesse and al have done a disservice to your community. Sorry

Unitl such progress I shall stay aware, informed, safe, and armed. its the only answer until a larger one that all follow comes.

26. Legit:

Thats the keeping it real in your world huh? What a phony.

27. If you shoot someone, you have to do the time. Phil Spector should also be in jail for life.

29. can the racism stop on both sides please. i'm sick of hearing it from all of you, not all black people are criminal and not all hite people are racist. white people, stop acting like rap is what black people are all about, black people stop acting as if you have to fight for every little thing. black people need to realize that you DO glorify and violance and are just as racist as any other race on this planet. white people just because the new shows more black crime does not mean white people do not commit crimes as well......stupid people all of you
