REMY MA CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER - PLEADS NOT GUILTY
Monday, July 16, 2007

Damn! I usually take Saturday’s off but Remy Ma has lost her damn mind - allegedly. Word is she shot her friend of 15 years, Makeda Barnes-Joseph (pictured above) early Saturday morning over a dispute for 2,000 dollars. Dayum Remy!! Read about the whole thing below:
A foul-mouthed Bronx rapper was the focus of a citywide manhunt yesterday after she allegedly shot a pal in the Meatpacking District during a spat over $2,000, law enforcement sources said.
“Please don’t let me die!” Makeda Barnes-Joseph screamed as she lay bleeding on the ground next to her car in the trendy neighborhood.
“Am I going to die?” Barnes-Joseph howled at 3:50 a.m. on W. 14th St. near Washington St.
Remy Ma - best known as the former leading lady of rapper Fat Joe’s Terror Squad - fled the shooting in an SUV, police sources said.
But the Cadillac Escalade crashed just a few blocks away and witnesses told cops Remy Ma fled on foot, sources said. She had stomped into the trendy Pizza Bar on Ninth Ave. near 14th St. with an entourage of 10 people just after midnight. [ READ MORE ]
All hip hop is reporting that she turned herself in yesterday, here is the latest scoop!
Rap star Remy Ma reported to police earlier today (July 14) and has officially been charged with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.
Barnes-Joseph was taken to Saint Vincent’s Hospital and is in stable condition.
The Pizza Bar’s owner said that surveillance cameras captured the entourage in the bar during the evening and that police were reviewing the footage seeking additional details. [ READ MORE ]
$2,000 bucks, WTF!!! Remind us to never talk shit about her again!

Paparazzi catches Remy being taken away over the weekend.
**UPDATE**
Remy has pleaded NOT GUILTY…wow…
Female rap star Remy Ma has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other charges today (July 15), after she surrendered to authorities yesterday for allegedly shooting and seriously wounding a childhood acquaintance during a dispute outside of a Manhattan bar early Saturday morning (July 14).
Remy Ma is being held on Rikers Island, as a judge sided with prosecutors bail request of $250,000.
Her attorney Scott Leemon told AllHipHop.com that a judge recently approved Remy Ma’s bond and she is expected to be released from custody within a few hours. READ MORE
So by tomorrow most likely, Ms. Remy will be set free!

Here’s a news flash for you brother: I personally don’t care what you or Remy Ma believe in. Why is it that it’s always alright for someone to state their opinion, which holds no weight, but when someone juxtaposes a topic with the Lord’s Word people get offended? Lol, just by you getting offended you expose yourself. If you were really confident in your own opinion, it wouldn’t matter how hard the Bible gets thumped. The fact of the matter is brother, your and my opinion ain’t worth shit. Get over yourself because it’s not that serious. Notice, Tupac didn’t live to see Don Killuminati hit the shelves.

You sound ignorant. Trust me I’m far from offended by your opinion, or the others
here. I’m very familiar with the christian elitist mentality as shown over and over on
this board, and you’re entitled to it. But when people make ignorant comments, they
should expect a rebuttal. In fact it was an open statment and observation made to
all the posters in the thread. LOL If anything you just outed yourself. How can you
in one comment, go and quote the bible and then in the next go curse at
me. Sounds like you’re the one that’s offended.

Virgo23. You might be on to something there. The father states that Remy was jealous of his child’s looks. This in itself is a very odd thing for a father to be privy to unless he already spoke to his daughter and she told him so at the hospital or the two women have had a history of ‘issues’ (read:liking or fighting over the same men) and the father has been aware of this throughout the years and how Remy might have felt about it anytime she lost.
I hate to see a mother get yanked from her kids but in this case, i’m kinda unfeeling about it. Her son is most likely better off without her influence. She would most likely have raised him to go on, grow up and kill other black men. He probably has a chance now at a better life. He sure as hell will learn a very valuable lesson about violence through his own mothers stupidity if she goes to jail.
Lastly, my God Remy is stupid. For her to grow up thinking that just because some male rappers advocate violence, that she too, A FREAKIN WOMAN can get away with the same ish is so naive. No society will ever sympathize with a violent woman unless it was in self defence. No way is a woman gonna commit a senseless violent crime and people are gonna feel some sympathy for her or give her that ’street cred’ (no matter what illusions her fans may be under right now) like they would a man. She better pray she has strings to pull and get herself outta this mess. Because if she gets convicted and does 10+ years……………………all people will ever remember is Rema Ma that stupid bitch that shot someone and got her stupid ass locked up, lost her career, had family/manager steal from her while she was on the inside, got broke and no-one’s heard from her since. Nothing good anyway.
Oh yeah… and what a terrible mother!

I don’t think it’s a publicity stunt…if so this would perhaps be the most extreme and poorly conceived publicity stunt in the history of the entertainment business. But for the grace of God her friend is still alive. I believe Remy was shooting to kill - two claps to the gut is not for play-play. What would be the benefit of this “publicity stunt??” Remy won’t even be able to enjoy the “publicity” behind bars. And another poster touched on this a little bit, but as a FEMALE rapper, why would Remy feel the need to be “gangsta” or have street cred?? That’s not a good look - not very feminine or ladylike.

Now she prolly only put up 25K to be released so she not only shot her friend of 15yrs. and f–k allegedly over 2,000 that was supposedly stolen and now she’s out of 27k altogether ………dumb a–. If she had anywhere near all the money she claims she has or gets on the regular in all of her music then $2,000 stolen you don’t shoot no one especially a friend over of that long…………..now, beat the sh-t out of them yes but try to murder them and run………hell no.

#223, Judah. I am somewhat ‘off topic’ here. But, in the “Hot Ghetto Mess” posting you asked me a very good question at #272. I have not ignored your question. I have been trying to post my response since Sunday night. For some reason the CL board won’t let me post a comment!!! I would like to post it (I actually saved it).
Now back to the Remy Ma foolishness……

I hope every last one of these violent, shit-talking, socially maladjusted rappers somehow finds themselves BEHIND BARS: 50, Game, CamRon, Young Buck, TI, Foxy, Busta, Tony Yayo, and Remy Ma.
Sending these 9 goons straight into the ‘belly of the beast’ — never to return — would be a great start. Gotta start somewhere!

While Remy Ma is a good rapper, I always had a feeling that the girl was “one fry short of a happy meal.” It’s obvious the girl is not wrapped tight. I can understand your being upset because of thinking someone has stolen $2,000 from you. But, trying to murder them for it though? Trust me, she can always get $2,000 dollars back. But once you try to take someone’s life, there’s not getting that back. :0(

@229
Brother, was my comment “ignorant” or was it just above your level of comprehension? Lol. The word “ignorant” is the most overused word in the modern day english language. It’s used totally out of context and by people that have no idea what it means, so that makes them ignorant. It’s just like this “you’re a homophobe” nonsense whenever you speak out against homosexuality. The people that use those tactics can’t justify their own beliefs so they try to make people that stand for something embarassed, lol. Did I “out” myself? As what, a believer in Christ? I thought I did that a while ago, lol. Now if I’m “ignorant”(which I guess would make you enlightened), show me my ignorance so I can get to your level. Brother I’m not a “Christian” either, and I am aware of the “Christian elitist mentality” that you speak about. I’m sorry that I cursed, I thought you were grown.
@242
That happens to me every once and a while. We’ll have another chance to chop it up I’m sure.
@246
These negroes kill me sis, you know what I’m sayin’. They really think that their OPINION holds some kind of weight, lol. These are the same people that piss in they draws when they get pulled over by the highway patrol or their local police. They have all this shit to pop when the Lord’s Word comes out, but they hold their heads down like a good negro in the court room and never question the laws of man. If you don’t believe in the Lord’s Word, your ass is dead already.

I guess his/her e-persona felt offended and needed to explain his/herself. Whateva. I

Brother, I would’ve had more respect for you if you just didn’t respond. It looked like you read my retort, got confounded, and just said “I gotta say something”. I asked you to enlighten me and drop some knowedge and that’s what you came back with? Thanks, finally the mysteries of life revealed. Lastly, people normally quote the source in a debate to make what’s called a COUNTERPOINT or RETORT. Ever heard of that because you failed to make any attempt at one. You can’t quote me because you can’t retort me, lol. Have a wonderful day.

@ Michelle
In reference to MZLUCIOUSLEELEE’s comments… anyone with that many vowels in his/her name got to be a fucking idiot.
I still don’t understand why anyone would call a woman who shot an unarmed person and then run a gangsta. She is a fucking coward. Remy knows who to pull that shit with. I guarantee that she won’t pull that shit with a person she knows would fuck her up. All of this fucking gangsta talk and being hard never made any sense to me. You are a fucking woman, who the fuck are you trying to appeal hard to…men? Or women? The few niggas I’ve known to be attracted to hard women had their nutsacks tucked between their legs. Any women that find these antics by Remy cute and something to brag about must have a nigga complex, and should check between their legs.

There is something real gutterbutt about remy that makes me wonder about her. She’s not that good of a rapper so I understand why two thou. could be crucial to the point you wanna shoot your girlfriend over. Remy needs to go to jail and serve some time with real bad bitches.

The thing that sticks out to me is that they don’t indicate in ANY of the articles whether or not Remy found the $2000 on her friend. So, because of that I believe it was over something else. I believe Remy did the shooting, and I believe (because this sadly is the case in most confrontations between two black women, let’s be honest…) that it was over a man…(and probably an ugly, trifling one, at that)

I am hearing that she shot her friend twice close up, and then searched her pocketbook for the 2 grand,which if true is azz backwards.I’m sure that the friend would have willingly given up her bag if she knew Remys crazy azz was serious about shooting her.There sjust no justification for this foolishness. Then she adds insult to injury by having the nerve to plead not guily?lol If it wasnt attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon Remy then what the f*ck was it?
