On Tuesday, Remy Ma, having been found guilty of shooting a woman outside a New York nightclub last year, was sentenced to eight years in prison.
 
According to the Village Voice's moving account of the proceedings, prior to the sentence being handed down, a tearful Remy told the court, ""Throughout this unfortunate case, I was advised from my attorney to stay silent but now I want you all to see me for me and what I've gone through. Reporters and newspapers have called me a 'hardcore rapper,' a 'hip-hop harlot'—Remy Ma is just a music industry name. A facade. I'm not a thug. I'm not a hardcore anything. I have feelings. I'm Remy Smith—No, I'm Remy Mackie. I'm a wife, mother, daughter and big sister."
 
The Voice also reports that rapper Papoose, who intended to marry Remy in jail yesterday before authorities allegedly found a handcuff key on his person, "exploded in anger" had to be restrained after sentencing. (Read the story here).
 


Leave them guns alone
If she had shot you, what type of justice would you have wanted for yourself.  8 years is nothing for attempted murder.  You will be out sooner than you think.  Had your so called friend died. You would of been doing hell of a lot more time. I heard the girl on the radio, she wants to be hard, respected or feared whatever.  Just be a lady, you would of handled the situation a little more different if you were a lady.  You leaving your husband and your child behind.  Guest you was not thinking of them when you pulled the trigger.  Remember your family does the time with you.  Guest you was not thinking of that either.  Good Luck and God Bless.

Damn Ma
It is a damn shame she got locked up for 8 years. Homegirl aint even die. But that's life and she will be thinking about killing that thiefing woman all of them 8 years! In India, thieves get their hands cut off. Anyway, the SeanBell cops aint get no time and they reloaded! I aint saying what she did was right but a thief is a menace to society too. And if it was my three g's, i would have whooped her butt all up and down malcom x blvd!

nonsense
Just one of many examples of ignorant black folk. As a black man, I am once again, disappointed in Remy's actions, her ignorant man's actions(a handcuff key on person-Stupid)and some on these ignorant comments that were posted. We will never be on any other level because we continue to cosign anyone or anything that has to do with nonsense. Even as someone who has been in the streets, i'll still never understand why we, as a people, glorify the "gangster/thug/criminal" and not the "straight A+ student/college bound/legal business owner". RAISE UP, PICK UP A BOOK and GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE STREET!!! REAL LIFE IS NOT A VIDEO OR SCARFACE!!!
PS: This case has nothing to do with the Bell case. That was a case of injustice. Remy was just STUPID.

To the YOUNG AND OLD FOOLS!!! Keep on playing street games and see what YOU get. YOU BETTER LEARN!!!

no sympathy here!!
Word of support for a remy ma???? What about words of support for her victim, the person who'll always be known as 'the girl remy ma popped'. If the tables were turned and it was remy who got shot, this radio station would probably ask the public to write a victim impact statement on behalf of remy ma so that her 'shooter' would get the max. You guys make me sick. She'll get no sympathy or words of support here. I truly feel for her son. Her stupidity will deprieve him of his mother.

REMY MA, YOU CAN DO IT!!
FIRST OFF, BUCK OFF TO ALL THE HATERS. PEOPLE ARE SO QUICK TO JUDGE BUT WE'RE ALL JUST ONE WRONG CHOICE AWAY FROM BEING HER CELL MATE. AS MINORITIES WE SHOULD SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE. HAD IT BEEN PARIS HILTON OR SOMEONE OF THAT "NATURE", THE VERDICT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH LESS DRAMATIC. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST MS.HILTON BUT THATS WHAT IT IS. REMY HAS A SON AS WELL, WHO WILL NOW BE FORCED TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIS MOTHER IN AN INSTITUTION. ANOTHER BLACK MAN WITH NO MOTHER TO HOLD HIM ATNIGHT AND TELL HIM SHE LOVES HIM.I UNDERSTAND SHE COULD'VE REACTED DIFFERENTLY BUT SO MANY OF US WOULD HAVE DONE WORSE. CRIMINALS ARE IN YOUR FACE ALL DAY, JUST ALOT OF THEM HAVE'NT BEEN CAUGHT DOING THEIR CRIME YET. POINT BLANK, REMY NEEDS LOTS OF SUPPORT RIGHT NOW FROM THE HIP-HOP COMMUNITY AS WELL AS MOTHERS AND ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN ON LOCK DOWN, EVEN AFTER THEY LEARNED THEIR LESSON. ITS SAD THAT WE ARE ALMOST HAPPY SEEING ANOTHER BLACK WOMAN BEING TAKEN OUT OF SOCIETY AND PLACED IN SUCH A HORRIBLE SITUATION. AND THE SAD PART IS THAT MOST OF THE HATERS ON HERE, ARE WORSE OFF THAN SHE IS AND THEY HAVE THEIR FREEDOM. GROW UP PEOPLE AND STOP BEING SO NEGATIVE TO YOUR OWN, WHERE DO U REALLY THINK THATS GOING TO LEAVE YOU. EVER HEARD OF KARMA? REMY HOLD YOUR HEAD UP, I AM SURE THAT GOD HAS SOMETHING SPECTACULAR IN STORE FOR YOU AND THIS IS ALL A TEST OF YOUR FAITH AND STRENGTH. IF YOU EVER NEED ENCOURAGING WORDS GOOGLE ME.. STARBOURNE

She's an idiot!
I don't feel sorry for Remy at all. I think that she is a waste of a person. I have best friends who have done way more than steal $3000 from me. And I did not shoot them. She really should have gotten more time due to the fact she still has a very arrogant demeanor about this situation. Good Riddens and I really feel sorry for your son because the pattern is still going to continue.

NOT ABOVE THE LAW
Sorryyou have to spend 8 years in jail but the next time you have a problem you will think about those years being locked up. Just because you are famous and have money you can't do anything to people you want and get away with it. All I can say is be strong and keep ur head up. See you in 8.

No Sympathy
Do the crime, do the time!
I never saw a so called "gangstress" cry b4 a judge. Guess the thuggin' was an act. Go 'head yall, keep keepin' it street. when it's time to own up, I don't want to see yall cryin on the stand.
Oh well, oh well.

Stay Strong
While I don't agree with what Remy did or how she handled herself during the trial...I still don't wish to see her locked up for 8 years.  Remy, keep your head up and find the lessons in this ordeal because there are plenty!!  In the end, Remy, you'll come out stronger and much wiser.  This is not the end...only the beginning of something greater.  It's all up to you!!

gut check time
DEAR REMY; HOPEFULLY THIS IS A MIND CHECK FOR U . YOUR FRIENDS ARENT YOUR FRIENDS JUST PEOPLE THAT WOULD RIDE YOUR CURTAILS  LETS SEE HOW MANY COME VISIT  YOU AT TACONIC OR BEDFORD YOU  MIGHT NOT EVEN GO THERE YOU MIGHT GO TO ALIBION C.F IN BUF NY. ITS COLD UP THERE AND THEY DONT PLAY NO NEED TO DISREPECT THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE OR A SERIOUS ASS WHOPPING. JUST COME OUT HUMBLE WATCH THE COMPANY YOU KEEP .

OH YEAH
This opportunity can be used as great promotion for your next album. Read a couple books, do your lessons, come back stronger.
This situation should put you on a righteous path to spit lyrics that uplift and not just get you by. The kids are hungry. The industry is starving. The list of talented female emcees is dwindling and all you guys can talk about is how some guy wants to touch you or do you.

i love sex too but damn.

lets wake up.

this is the Matrix for real.
You either take the red or blue pill. You can't have it both ways.
Grow up. You have a son. Money is a tool. If money made you a slave to shoot someone, imagine what they can make you do to get it.
Wake up.

Too many fallen soldiers.

People died for us to get where we are and we're still falling for the same old tricks. Evolve. Do what Eve's doin', MC Lyte, Latifah, etc etc. Play the game..get paid....get position...and move on 'em.

Stop doin block shit.

"8 years.........o wow"
yo remy,
   my boyfriend is a fan ov u.....and he is tight now that u locked 4 8 years....mama all i gotta say to u is hang in there.
Posted By: anonymous - Wednesday, May 14th 2008 @ 9:40am
rules are not meant to be broken
If you shoot somebody, you go to jail.
If you have lots and lots of dollars, you can get off with a slap on the wrist....for a price. I guess she didn't have that kind of pull.


Rule number 1 (the Chi Ali Law)
If you are/were a public figure, don't commit a crime. The cops WILL find you.
can also be linked to the
"If you carry a gun, don't rap about it" LAW.

Is she trying to get out of her contractual obligations with her label or something? This is foolishness.

I bet Ray J will catch a gun charge soon. Is it entertainment? Are celebs getting paid to act a fool? I don't get it.........

oh well

WHY
REMY MA SHOULDN'T GET 8 YEARS IN PRISON. HER SO CALLED- FRIEND DIDN'T HAVE TO TAKE MONEY FROM BUT HOWEVER REMY DIDN'T HAV TO SHOOT HER. ATLEAST SHE DIDN,T DIE.BUT THE JUDGE WAS UNFAIR BECAUSE THEM COPS DIDN,T GET CHARGED WHEN THEY SHOOT THAT INNOCENT BOY NAMED.................. AND HE DIED. PLUS THAT GIRL SHE SHOOT WAS SITTING IN THE COURT ROOM CRYING TELLING THE JUDGE DON'T GIVE HER 8 YEARS. GIVE HER LESS THAT 8. BUT SHE IS THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS WHOLE SITUATION. THEY DON,T LOOK AT ALL THE GOOD REMY HAS DONE FOR HER COMMUNITY.

I JUST HOPE SHE MAKES IT THROUGH IT AND BECOME A STRONGER PERSON FOR HERSELF AND HER SON.

Ms. Remy

I have to say I have never heard any of your music-I am from another generation. It does  seem that some things never change. Different face -etc. but the same out come.
 I do not know enough about your case to say if it was fair or not. You have to make that call.
 Just some soft words what is done is done- use this time to grow inside- not your public face. Think about what is really important to you as a person-not what other people say what you really feel. When you get back home slow it down and live YOUR LIFE-
 Yoga is great so is painting -you know some water-colours etc.
Bootom line do not let this be your legecy-you have alot more to offer this world-Just give yourself the chance to do it. Peace.

NO Sympathy
Remy...I'm not judging you however when you wrong you wrong. You had no business carrying a weapon in the first place. "You make all the big bucks" you should have hired security. Carrying the gat is lookin for trouble. Especially if you didn't have the proper paperwork. All the signs you exhibited and your past "MISTAKES" made you  look guilty. Your hubby to be aint that smart either(Tell him to keep his mouth shut and don't think).  This whole thing is a true sign of heading towards life in the wrong direction with the wrong people. You will have a lot of time to think grow and possibly change your attitude about life and how you live it. Your still young and by the time you get out I hope you will be wiser. Try an educate yourself while your in there. Think of your son's future... Not you... Not dum dum Papoose...your son.

Peace out
ps
It could have been worse. Count your blessings!!!

Who's The Real Victim ?

It really bother me that so many people is having sympathy for REMY. Just because she was a so called celebrity, that doesnt give her a green light to commit a crime.
If you think about the whole situation, she was her  own greatest enemy.
Always Remember: Each day you write the scripture of your life,
later on, Others will read it....

Here's the Golden Question......
If the victim was a member of your family, Would you have sympathy for the 8years  that Remy received from the court.

There is only two victims within this case.
1) The young lady that got shot by Remy, that will have to deal with the Mental and Physical Pain for the rest of her life.
                                                       and
2)The close family and friends of Remy, that will have to deal with the Heartache and Mental Stress of not being able to see Remy on a daily basis. ( especially the children )
***************************************************

Remy shot her friend, over lost money
She left the scene, thinking it was funny
Few days later she turn herself in, facing 25 years with no sign of a win.
Sitting in a jail cell, lots of pain and some fear
Thinking about her family, as she sheds a lonely tear
Don't no what to say or what to do,
It's a bird, a plane, Papoose to the rescue.
He has a master plan, with weddings bells ringing in the air
Jailhouse Wedding, So Romantic, Do we really care?
The wedding date was on a Monday, in the Month of May
Few family and friends showed up, to my surprise, even Kay Slay
At the last minute, the wedding is cancelled, people ask how can this be
Stupid Ass Papoose enters Rikers Island with a Handcuff Key.
Remy started to scream, Her eyes is shedding many tears
To make matters worse, the following day the judge gave her 8 years.

WHEN IT RAIN - IT POURS !!!

Reality
we still have to realize that life is not fair and we are responsible for our decisions, and this justice system is especially not fair to our minorities, therefore, we must think before we do things and try to make the right choices and choose our company more carefully.  We as people can sometimes handle our results for our actions but its the families that I feel bad for they are the ones that have to ultimately pay for our wrong doings

You really think who you are , because somone stole from you.. The girl probably did steal from you , but you wanna be gangsta and shoot her because of it? You are a star, and if you are gonna get a few measly grand stole from you, thats the price you must pay for being famous. You should of learned your lesson from that instance, chaulk it up and learn from it, your a millionaire@!! but your obviously ignorant!! like the old saying, "" you can take someone out of the ghetto, but cant take the ghetto out of someone!!!

BLACK ON BLACK CRIME
I am reviewing the postings and it is so sad...It is sad that the black community is upset in regards to issues of abuse by the NYPD. That is not the issue here. The issue is that Remy Ma (a mother) shot a woman and should pay for her crime. You should have been home, being a "mommy" instead of being a gangster because that is what you are. Your a grown woman with a child and you should set an example. You are also a public figure to the hip hop youth and your behavior s deplorable. What is pathetic is that this was a black on black crime. Don't complain about the white man when you can't even get along with your own kind. Was the $2,000 worth it? Why were you carrying a gun? Did you have a license? I'd say the 15 minutes of fame got to your head and now you Remy Ma have to pay the price...Good! I hope you get slammed in civil court like you were slammed in criminal court.

See ya in 8 years Remy Moron
Guess you weren't making a ton of moeny like you rapped about or you would have hired a better lawyer to beat the case...

Guess you ain't that hardcore crying your eyes out when you got your sentence...

I am so sick of these idiot rappers and these idiot radio stations like 97.1 and 105.1 who support and distribute the music and fake lifestyles of these imbeciles.

This station wants us to actually leave comments of support for unacceptable behavior? Please take this banner down and let's concentrate on real issues like the travesty of the Sean Bell case. If you must make a banner about this incident, make it so I can leave comments of support for the girl Dummy Ma shot. Where's her comment section?

We Serve an Awesome, and Forgiving God

I don't know Remy, never heard her music. I'm also not passing judgement on her, however, u do reap what u have sown.  We serve an awesome God, and he has the power to handle any and everything. To try to take a person life is in itself a cry for help, and to do it over $2000.00, is so foolish. I do have a few questions that I would like to ask Remy. "

1. Do u know JESUS?
2. What if u had killed that women?
3. What were u thinking about when u pulled out a gun?
4. Why was  there a need 4 u to carry a gun.
5. Did u stop to think about your Child?
6. Are u trully remorseful?
6. Did u asked Jesus 4 forgivness?

I was very sorry  to hear about another case of blk on blk crimes, and the families which are now in turoil. I lost my mother at a young age, grow up poor, I know what's in store 4 her son, yes, he may have money, a nice school, and surrounded by people that loves him. but, he wont have his mommy, atleast 4 8 years.  I pray that who ever takes care of that child they have strong prayer circle. also I pray for all families involved in such a terrible tragicsty, and may God bless all of u

HYPOCRITS
 "Stay Positive Remy".  "Let he who cast the first stone be without sin".  My heart goes out to you and all of your loved ones. For whatever reason this happened, all you can do is deal with the judgement and just keep in mind that you have a son to come home to when all is said and done.  Complete whatever time you have to and when your time is up, come out steer your life in the right direction and leave all that is negative behind and out of your life. The way society is today, your son is going to need positivity to lead him down the right path. God Bless and Keep GOD in your heart Always....
Posted By: anonymous - Tuesday, May 13th 2008 @ 7:00pm
NO WEAPONS FORMED AGAINST YOU WILL PROSPER
Remy, first and foremost I want to say HOLD YOUR HEAD! GOD WILL NOT GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE! Everyone is going to have their comments about what should of, would of and could have happended that night. Remember that GOD is the ONLY person that can judge you.  I have learned through the years that things don't happen by accident. What I mean by that is GOD has a plan for all of us and although we/our flesh cause us to stray off of HIS plan he still finds a way to get us back on track.  Sometimes we forget who is in CONTROL and who has the last say.  The blessings we receive sometimes not purposely become taken for granted.  As such, GOD Sometimes has to allow us to go through trials and tribulations even ones we think are unbearable and unfair when he wants us to listen to him, refocus and pay attention to what he has planned for us.  GIRL, you are a woman of color that alone brings forth strength that at times is unknown to the naked eye.  Ask for forgiveness from GOD if you haven't and use this time to get closer to him. He will never forsake you. (Psalm 27) If you have a connection with him and/or had one reconnect. Allow him to strengthen you, to guide you and to use you for HIS PURPOSE.  Stay focused and regardless of where you are you raise your son to the best of your abilities. Encourage your HUSBAND, and your LOVED ONES to not fret for you because you are a child of GOD. I will keep you in my prayers. 

Regards,
1 Latina Woman of Color and Child of God to the Next
Much Love!!!!

DAMN REMY!

I think that Remy deserved to be punished but damn 8 years.  I feel sorry for her son mostly.  I am a remy fan, but damn she had to be broke to shoot her best friend in the stomach over 3,000 dollars.  Now that is horrible.  She couldnt of had a good lawyer either.  TI walked away pretty much scotch free and he had mad guns.  I hope that she see this as a learning experience.

Adios, bitch. Welcome to the system. Good job blaming your impoverished upbringing for a fight over 2 grand in your purse and then escaping in an escalade. You sound real poor. For 8 years the streets will be a little safer.
Posted By: tawna B - Tuesday, May 13th 2008 @ 6:25pm
Well what did you expect
I am a very forgiving person, but feelling sorry is not something i do for people who knew better. Remy knew better, but what she needs to understand is that she nearly took someones life away and there are consquences for your actions.  So she says that she is not a thug but her actions proved the court otherwise She knew it was wrong to have that gun let alone use it. So how could anyone feel sorry. Remy did the crime now she has to do the time its as simple as that. I'm sure she regrets what she did but once again she knew better. Besides there is no amount a money worth loosing your freedom over. Remy keep your head up and look to God for your all your answers and for forgiveness don't look to man, because they will leave you dissapponted.

Remy Ma, shooting folks!

I love "US" but I get so sick of us thinking we're above GOD's laws. "THOU SHALT NOT KILL"....or attempt to murder. And no I'm not sin-free but I bet I pay for my sins without remorse. I know what I put out here is what I receive back. She's lucky she only has to serve time, It could be worse. Unattractive ass! Sorry, that's neither here nor there.

Let's stop the Madness, folks.

great role model for your son
It is shame so many readers are so caught up in color. Yes, I agree there is a lot of injustice and wrong verdicts in this country, as it is all around the world. But if you believe because a one person gets off others should is amazing. Yes some whites that are rich get off, but some do some people of color also. Sometimes being rich helps sometimes not. OJ got off, so did Robert Blake. It doesn't change the fact they were both guilty. Being rich, wealthy and from one of America's premier family's didn't help Michael Skakel. The Supreme Court today let stand the murder conviction of Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel, who is serving a prison term of at least 20 years. So yes sometimes justice is wrong and blind. But as a society we need to get past the COLOR of ones skin and look at the crime. Yes double standards and racism go both ways, and it is a shame for our society.

U wanted 2 be gangsta...
I don't think Remy Ma should of got 8yrs. because she didn't kill the girl however she should have to pay for her actions as we all do sooner or later. 
 You want to be street well theres things that come along w/it wether ya like them or not. She has to accept responsibility for her actions,she chose to do that. If it was her or her family she'd probably have a different outlook.
  Through all this though she does have a family of her own and my heart does go out to them.

Remy should of gotten more than 8.

Remy almost took someones life.  On the radio, radio personalities talking how they feel bad for remy, what about the person who got shot.  Where is the support for her.  I would of gave her the max for that.

DAMN FOOL!
And you should have gotten WHAT for what you did??? I am having a DIFFICULT time understanding how Power 105 is so up in arms about "poor Remy Ma", are you kidding me? The time you got is FITTING for what you did.  Some of you get too carried away with this whole 'CELEBRITY' crap and you start thinking you can do and say what you want and get away with it?? Unfortunately for you, the judge and the jury didn't think you were conceited they thought you were GUILTY!!! Now you have EIGHT years to think about how STUPID you were, and maybe, and I PRAY Maybe you will re-enter society a more sensible human being! I can't understand how everyone feels so sorry for you, what about YOUR VICTIM?? All of a sudden your'e thinking about your son, did ya think about him when ya shot the chick over a little chedda?? BE FOR REAL Sis - YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW SISTER - BIBLE!!!!  Maybe now you will realize that you are NOT above the law!!!
Do something constructive with your time!!

Peace!!

Babylon System must go down!
I don't know what the rass do these babylonians, we already know NY is the Roman Empire but damn. Cops shoot @ Diallo 41 times, Bell 50 and my gal Remy busS off 1 shot and she got 8 years? Wonder if the victim died would she receive less time or the case would have been dropped. Face it we still in slavery and marching and asking for equal rights are out the window. Time we put these devils in slavery and make our own laws, fuck marching. . . let me stop but I want to say keep yo head up Remy mama, don't watch nutten, not even tv to bloodclot fuck the NYPD, Doomberg all Catholic preists who rape and molest lil kids and don't serve time in jail.

Ignorant
All of you people posting about Remy's plight because she is a black woman are ignorant.  Remy SHOT A BLACK WOMAN and could have killed her.  Do you think she would trade places? Should she be free because she happens to be a rapper?  This is what is wrong with us all.  If you were shot by a rapper, would you want them to go unpunished because they are a rapper?
Would you be sympathetic if a normal black woman had shot Remy?  It works both ways.

support!
You got exactly what you deserved!  Now all of a sudden you're not so hard huh?

Poor choice

It was a poor choice to shoot someone, however its understood why you did so. You are not stupid for making a poor choice. Learn from it. Think about your family and would it have been okay for someone to do that to them because they stole? Do something productive with your time' because there is no getting it back. God Bless You and your family.

NOT SO TOUGH
NOW YOU KNOW HOW STUPID YOU WERE-DONT GO AROUND SHOOTING PEOPLE IN THE STOMACH WITH 45'S-YOU WILL BE OUT IN A FEW YEARS BUT THAT GIRL WILL BE MISERABLE THE REST OF HER LIFE. WOULD YOU TRADE WITH HER?
Posted By: FLORIDA JOHNNY - Tuesday, May 13th 2008 @ 4:06pm
God Bless
Honestly you are lucky.  I know people who do more time for doing less.  Although it is unfortunate for your son, your family and all those who have love for you, it is another situation that has to be delt with.  Always remeber that God does not give us more then we can handle.  I really feel for your son, he is the innocent one in this.  He does not deserve to have his sole supporter torn from him.  I am sure that he will be left in good hands but there is nothing like MOMMY!  I know you will go through some sH-t too being away from him and only seeing him on visits but this is time that has been given to you to think about the choices you have made and how you want to be remebered.  You say you are not a thug and that REMY MA is for entertainment....but that is not what people know you for.  All we know is what you rhyme about and the image you give off and carry on for whatever reason.  So take this time, as hard as it will be, to be the best you can be and to reinvent yourself for what you want people to know.  I'm no hater who thinks you deserve this at all but I'm not going to take away the responsibility that you should take for the things you've done.  I actually think you are an extremly talented person and genuine person who got caught up in some craziness!! I wish you nothing but the best and my prayers will be with you and your son.

Guilty
Anyone that shoots someone deserves at least 8 years, this is basically a spoiled brat that thought she was above the law and that her fame would keep her from any consequences - and for this website to encourage people to leave "words of support" shows how ignorant they are, if it was one of anyone of your mothers, brothers, sisters, or kids that was shot or killed how would you feel about "words of support ?"
The fact is nobody, not even entertainers, are above the law. Thank you.

Double lucky
You got off lucky.
And for all those kids out there fronting like you belong to a gang or like you've done something, they'll come a time when you have to prove yourself or end up looking like a fake punk. If you choose to live up to the hype you've been fronting then you might have to do something evil to prove it. When you do it be prepared for the consequences!!
You can't go up to the judge afterwards crying and say "Naaa I was just playing yo, i'm not really like that, thats just ma image". Justice don't play that nonsense!!
You look the part, you act the part, you'll be taken out with no mercy.

Hope your kids get the message because its too late for you. Enjoy jail. You're lucky you didn't hit a bystander.

Keep Ya Head Up Ma
Remy

I'm sorry for all this.  It is unfortunate for you, your son, Papoose, and your family.  Just keep your head up and do the bid.  It will be over before you know it.  You can go up for parole in a few years and then you'll be good.  Your son and family can visit you in the mean time.  I know it ain't the same; but it is something and it will get you through what you have to get through.

All my prayers and thought are with you and your family.

Stay up
Remy,

Stay up and be strong for your son. You are a talented soul and a beautiful person. Your fans have your back. Don't let your circumstances kill your spirit, or you music.

lucky
You should be very happy that I was not the judge in your case.  Shooting anyone over money is sick like you are and if I had my way you would have gotten the maximum of 25 yrs.  Instead of being a role model you are a disgrace to all people from Brooklyn.

Remy, I was moved when I heard you on Power with 50 Cent and you called your son together. He clearly loves his mother. Stay strong for him.
