According to reports, all heck broke loose yesterday at Remy Ma's sentencing...Of course you know Remy was all crying and begging for leniency, but Papoose is the one who really showed out. They say he got into it with some of shooting victim, Makada Barnes-Joseph's people in the hallway outside the courtroom and when his boys tried to hold him back he started yelling, "Get the f**k off me. F**k ya'll. F**k jail!" And when the court officers came to break it up, he was all like, "F**k y'all. Lock me up. Lock me up. I don't care. Take me to jail. Arrest me. Y'all f**kin' put her in jail when she didn't do s**t! This is all about money!" Papoose is convinced that the only reason Makeda went through with this trial is so she could sue Remy and come up.
Back in the courtroom Remy'd told the judge, “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." Remy asked for mercy, "not just for me, but for my loved ones, and for my little boy."
The judge wasn't going for it. Before she handed down her eight-year sentence, she told the court, "This is not the first time Ms. Smith has engaged in violence. This is a pattern. The previous times haven't been as severe. Smith doesn't take responsibility for her actions. Her letter to the court and her statement today showed no remorse. She even painted herself as the victim. This is not about hip-hop. This is about the individual, Remy. She is a danger to others."
They say Remy's eight-year-old son was present during the sentencing and that someone had painted "Remy Ma" on his cheek in red letters. And that Makeda, through tears, asked that the court show Remy some mercy saying, "I ask that you give her the kind of time that will allow her to reconnect with her son and become a responsible mother."
