Remy Sentenced To Eight Years Prison

Remy is the latest female rapper to pay a visit to the clink. 'Conceited' rapper Remy Ma has been sentenced to eight years in prison following the shooting of a woman outside a Manhattan nightclub.

The jury heard Ms Smith had shot her friend outside the Manhattan venue in July 2007 because she thought the woman had stolen $3,000 (£1,495) from her. With friends like that who needs enemies?!

Remy insists last summer's shooting was an accident; an appeal is planned.

Correction officials say they called off her weekend wedding at the Rikers Island jail after the groom — fellow rapper Papoose — showed up with a handcuff key. Remy's lawyer, Ivan Fisher, denies the key could be used to unlock handcuffs. Papoose isn't charged. Fisher says the two still plan to wed, reports AP.
