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!

46. Nick Hogan should have received a sentence more like this. Remy Ma's victim will recover but Nick's victim will never recover. The car is just as deadly as a gun!

47. While I am certainly not defending Nick Hogan, his was in fact an accident. BOTH BOYS were participating in the dangerous game of drag racing and an accident occured. I feel horrible for the victims family and for John, but it was a careless accident, On the other hand, Remy pulled out a gun in a public place and shot another human in cold blood. There is no comparrison. She should have gotten all 25 years. What about that victims family? She may turn out to be just fine, but she was shot in the street by a thug for God's sake. Remember what I said...an education is your best tool. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

52. Superwoman this is to you. You obviously haven't grown up or rather learned enough wisdom in your time here on earth to know that pulling a gun to kill someone over money is stupid, dumb, ignorant, and above all against the law. She was a rapper for criss sakes making more money than the average worker and for two thousand dollars, please that isn't even enough to pay my mortgage. She should've just let it go, knowing that Karma is a bitch and she could make that money back anyday. But instead she thought she was hardcore gangstar and didn't stop to think of the repuccusions that would later ensue. Especially how all off this would affect her child. And yet you have the gall to say you'd do the same thing over 20$ then your mentallity is just as pathetic as Remy's was. Look at her now and if you are ever in the same position think of Remy and where she is now.

And this is coming from someone who grew up in the hood (while getting into fights at least once a month with jealous bitches because I was trying to get out of the hood and not become a part of it), got an education and realized there are better choices to be made in this world.

53. Jen u goooo girl! I live in the hood and my # 1 priority is to get out. I work full time and go to school full time and I have set high goals for myself. I am reading these comments on here and it just bothers me that people like Super Woman are so ignorant. Aren't u tired of the gun shots waking u up at night? Aren't u tired of the gangs claiming your street? Aren't you tired of being awaken by sirens? Aren't u tired of seeing ur neighborhood on the news? Aren't u tired of hearing another 12, 15, 16, 18 yr old getting killed over something dumb as stepping on someone's sneakers or in ur case stealing $20. I guess it doesn't seem to register in your brain that $20 is not worth life in jail.


So Remy got 8 years. So we will never here a hit like .................ummmmmm, a hit like ......................,
