Rapper Remy Ma Sued By Shooting Victim

“There’s something about”…prison!

Convicted rapper Remy Ma, who faces 8 years in prison for shooting her friend, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, has been sued over the incident.

She could have killed Barnes-Joseph and over $3,000. That’s all she thought her friend’s life was worth. I think Remy Ma should be legally required to make full compensation for her actions.

Remy Ma sued for $10 Million after convicted shooting…

US Rapper Remy Ma is being sued for $10 Million dollars by the ex-pal she was convicted of shooting last month.

In the Bronx Supreme Court suit, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, 24, claims her life has been ruined by last summer’s shooting.

Makeda’s attorney said “My client is scarred and still has pain in her stomach, numbness in her legs and suffers from post-traumatic stress from being shot by Remy.”

The Tale Of Two Rappers

One Going To Jail And One Is Not

T.I. And Remy Ma

TI A/K/A Clifford Harris

Rapper T.I., real name Clifford Harris, was up on very serious gun charges, but with the help of a pricey legal team, was able to avoid jail time, in exchange for one year on house arrest.

I didn’t think he was about to start World War III with the weaponry he had in his possession. However, he needs to start adhering to the law, especially considering he has children that would miss him during their formative years, if he is sent to jail. Stay out of trouble.

Rapper Remy Ma, a chatty, braggadocios, sacrilegious rapper, shot her best friend over allegedly stealing $3,000 out of her purse. Today, she was sentenced to 8 years in prison by a New York judge.

I do believe she deserves the jail time, as her friend could have died. That is a human life she placed in mortal jeopardy and over $3,000. She too has a young son, age 8, that she clearly wasn’t thinking about when she pulled the trigger twice.

She needs to thank the judge, as she could have been sentenced to jail for far longer than 8 years. Maybe she will take the time to better herself and find God as many do in prison.

When one is in a jail cell, it gives one time to ponder the choices one has made. Some see the light and some don’t.

Judge To Rapper Remy Ma: “Lean Back”

Judge Refuses To Drop Additional Criminal Charges Against Female Rapper

December 5. 2007

Rapper Remy Ma, whose real name is Reminisce Smith, 26, is famous for the Fat Joe song “Lean Back.” A few months ago she was charged with shooting childhood friend, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, for allegedly stealing $2,000 from her purse. You know, most people would just file a police report, but I digress…

Her friend, a college graduate, denied the allegations.

Shortly after New York prosecutors filed charges against Remy Ma, it is alleged two members of her entourage attacked two men that are friends of the victim, as a form of witness intimidation (she barely sold any records and has an entourage – not exactly economically prudent).

Today, a New York City judge slapped her with additional criminal charges for “witness intimidation and gang assault” regarding the second incident. I say well done to the judge, as this kind of lawlessness is unacceptable.

She is clearly trying to live the violent life she raps about and portrays in her videos.

It’s funny, on a CD cover you called yourself “Shesus Chryst” mocking the name of the Lord, but you aren’t nailing yourself to a cross in your costly bid at keeping it real (which I don’t suggest, as you aren’t Jesus).

It’s only okay to keep it real when it’s painless to you and you’re shooting another person that is screaming out in pain for their life.

I Did Not Know A Bullet Could Come Out There

Remy Ma’s friend passed the bullet in a terrible way. Must be like passing spicy food times ten:

Remy is also being accused of pulling a gun on video girl/rapper Gloria Velez. She probably just wanted some of Valez’s hair to make new bleached bangs for her bumble bee bouffant:

There was an altercation between the rapper and video vixen Gloria Velez in 2004, and Raysor also alludes to reports of Remy pulling a gun on someone in the Bronx (something the Voice was unable to confirm). – Village Voice

Remy Ma-n Going To The Can!

Maybe Shesus Jesus Didn’t Like Your Album Cover

July 16. 2007

Free Cassidy? No, now it’s Free Remy

One week after proclaiming herself savior Shesus Kryst (a terrible, irreverent pun on the name of Jesus Christ) with a ghastly sacrilegious album cover depicting her topless on the cross to match, a la Tupac, Remy Ma has gotten herself into quite a legal pickle. When will artists ever learn not to mock Christ. It never turns out well.

Remy Ma was arrested over the weekend for shooting one of her best friends in the stomach because she…wait for it…thought she stole $2,000 from her. Her friend denies the accusation.

Cop: at least Foxy was smart enough to use a phone!

It appears Remy has a history of violence. Media reports have surfaced regarding her criminal record. It reveals she was arrested four years ago for aiming a gun at a man’s head and pulling the trigger, but some how missing. She was also accused of beating a 15 year old girl with an umbrella.

Remy Ma: I’m going to jail ya’ll!

Yea, another Phil Spector. When people engage in this type of conduct there are often warning signs leading up to it.

For example, many women have now come forward, some industry members, and stated that Spector had previously pulled a gun on them, on different occasions, before he went on to fatally shoot an actress in his home last year.

From 80’s baby to jail baby:

Remy needs to be thankful that her friend did not die. She also owes her an apology because she could have died…over $2,000. Her life is worth far more than that. As a matter of fact, God says a human life if priceless. You need to ask God for forgiveness.

I hope justice will be served in this case and not get clouded in the standard entertainment industry corruption and rubbish that so frequently disgraces the legal system.

I read about the girl Remy Ma is accused of shooting and what her family had to say about the incident. They are very angry and rightfully so, as she could have died.

To the young woman who was shot, Makeda, why are you hanging around in that environment and dressing like a certain entertainment industry set? You have a business degree from a New York college and clearly come from an intelligent family who’ve tried to do right by you. That rough segment of the music industry is not for you.
