Just a few minutes ago in a Manhattan Criminal Court, Remy Ma was sentenced to 8 years in prison for a weapons and coercion charge. Remy was scheduled to be sentenced on April 23rd but the judge postponed the trial until today, so that Remy's lawyer would have time to prepare for the court date. On March 27th, Remy was found guilty of first-degree assualt, criminal weapons charges and attempted coercion for shooting her former friend last July.
Remy pleaded to the judge, "I stand here today as Remy Mackie," she said with tears in her eyes, "I'm a loving wife, mother and loving daughter and loving sister to my brothers and sisters." Remy spoke to the victim saying "I apologize for not saving you from your physical and mental scars."
In related news, Remy was supposed to marry fellow rapper Papoose tomorrow but Pap apparently tried to smuggle in a handcuff key to try and break her out of prison. "A wedding was scheduled today and a visitor to that wedding service was found to be in possession of jail contraband so the wedding was canceled," a corrections official said."The key that was found today easily opened handcuffs that we and other law enforcement officials use," the official said. Papoose was not charged after he voluntarily surrendered the key to authorities. He was quickly ushered out of the jail before reaching the Rose M. Singer chapel, where the two were set to be married. The two will now not be allowed visitation with each other until November of this year.
UPDATE: PAPOOSE: I DID NOT TRY TO BREAK REMY OUT!
As previously reported, Remy Ma was scheduled to marry Papoose tomorrow but it was cancelled after Pap allegedly tried to smuggle a handcuff key to Remy Ma. Papoose was thrown in a cell and the wedding was cancelled. Papoose is now saying that isn't what happened at all. "The handcuff thing was ridiculous," Pap said at Remy Ma's sentencing, "The law states, if I carried a handcuff key into a prison, I would have been arrested."
DJ Kay Slay reported that Papoose has always had a skeleton key on his key chain and it's been present every time he has visited Remy in jail. When Pap was asked to turn over his key to a security gaurd, Pap did so without incident. Pap, along with Remy's mom and 3 guests, was going to the wedding when he was pulled aside and thrown in a cell.
Remy's manager said it was a set up, saying "Pap has not missed one visit while she was at Rikers," continuing, "Every C.O. knows him. The skeleton key thing was bogus." "[Pap] knew something was up when they asked him to come back," he continued. "He never made it to the chapel. The officers told Remy they had to reschedule. No one told her what happened. She didn't find out until she spoke with Pap." When asked if they planned to reschedule the marriage, Papoose said "We're already married."
