We purposely didn’t post any Remy Ma news all this week because we were waiting for events to unfold. So far the charges still stand against her: attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. The ‘victim’, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, spoke to the NY DAILY NEWS earlier this week claiming that she couldn’t believe Remy shot her. Here is what she said:
Bronx native Barnes-Joseph told the New York Daily News that she had been close friends with Ma for more than a decade.
She said that as they left a bar together around 3:40 a.m., the 26-year-old hip-hopster climbed into her car and accused her of stealing about $3,000, ordered her to dump out her purse, then shot her.
“All I heard was the gun go off,” she said. “I couldn’t believe she shot me!”
Barnes-Joseph said that even as she sat in the car bleeding, Ma continued to search through her things for the missing cash. [SOURCE]
Remy, on the other hand, maintains her innocence and even shouted it from her bedroom window on Monday. “I didn’t shoot my friend!…I didn’t shoot nobody,” the rapper yelled as the media surrounded her home. She also pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Eye witnesses from the alleged shooting even backed up Remy’s claim:
The source said Remy Ma had accused Barnes-Joseph of stealing in the past, despite the fact that they were childhood friends.
“Everyone was good the entire party, until we went outside and Makeda tried to quickly slip away,” the woman told AllHipHop.com. “She has [allegedly] stolen from Remy before and Remy forgave her the first time. Remy even paid Makeda’s rent before, when she spent her money on shopping and her sorry a** boyfriend couldn’t help out.”
According to the witness Barnes and Remy argued in the street Remy never Got in Barne’s Maxima.
“Remy never got in her [Barnes-Joseph’s] car,” the witness revealed to AllHipHop.com. “Makeda [allegedly] threatened Remy in front of everyone and demanded that she didn’t take her money. She also threw her purse at Remy to check and that’s why Remy had her purse and emptied the contents. Remy didn’t even have a gun on her.”
The witness says that the rest of the entourage was approaching Remy and Barnes and thats when shots rang out.
“Makeda’s boyfriend threatened Remy,” the woman said. “All I know is, as soon as I turned, Makeda was on the ground saying she got shot, but Remy [allegedly] never had a pistol in her hand.”
The witness says after the shooting everyone fled the scene because police was on the way. When they arrived they found Barnes shot in her car and Remy’s Escalade crashed into some parked cars up the block.

So what is really going on here? I guess we have to wait it out and see like everything else.
that courtroom artist got skill though. lol!!!
Who really cares? Is the Michael Vick story posted anywhere? that is worth discussing.
With a good attorney, Remy can get out of this mess:
Question: Remy, were you at the scene in question when your friend was shot?
Remy: Yes.
Question: Did you accuse your friend of stealing $3,000 from your purse?
Remy: Yes.
Question: shoot your friend?
Remy: No.
Question: If you didn’t shoot your friend, why did you run?
Remy: Because, I heard gunshots. Apparently, SOMEONE was shooting and I feared for my life.
Question: When you ran, did you know your friend was shot?
Remy: No.
Quesiton: Do you know who was shooting?
Remy: No. If I did, I would report them immediately.
Defense to Prosecutor: Your witness.
Prosecutor: In your lyrics don’t you talk about “busting caps” in a bitches ass that fronts you?
Remy: Sir, that’s for entertainment, noone in their right mind should take my lyrics seriously.
No matter what the prosecutor ask, stick to this version and tone. lol.
It is ironic her album is coming out soon and all of this conspiracy is going on. Seems like she made her ex homegirl out an example. However, she is in real deep so I feel her pain and homegirl does too. It sucks when u think u have a friend and the whole time its a foe. If the chick was stealing from her thats plenty foul but not enough to damn near kill da b!T$#.
Sometimes u gotta just cut ur loses and let bygones be bygones. Remy Ma felt she had somethin to prove and thats just life.
I’ll just be waiting to see the outcome
LOL
Dayum those chics r %100 ghetto and projectfied, dayummmmmmmm. What the hell is a Makeda? why is it that some black folks name their kids any dayum thang? Name them from liquor bottles,beer bottles, cars, etc………….so embarrassing. What’s your name girl? Danyell, wtf? your mama spelled your name the exact way she pronounced it?lmao, dayummm……..anyway, Remy azz was hard up for that little bit of money, shot the girl and still using the word friend,plzzzzzzz. Why are so many project girls ugly and look so hard? one thang I noticed bout lot of them ugly project hoes, they pull some fine azz men, how and why? I don’t know, but they do.
lmao @ the court sketch… THEY ADDED THE BLOND BANGS LMAOOOOOOOO!!
I don’t think Remy shot her.
In any case, the bitch should have paid what she owed a long time ago.
That b-tch shot her.
Remmy looks like she needs an exorcisom .She looks crazy.
Damn that’s messed up what happened to Remy!
do remy have a cd coming out…… i smell publicity stunt ..after all this is remys bff they could have concocked the whole thang this is a lot of bullshit on bouf of them what a stunt some one could have gotten killed bumb bitches. …… remember the lawyer said keep in open mind. = STUNT
man I am confused but All I have to say is if you didn’t see it you know nothing!!
I think Remy shot her. There was a story proved to be true awhile back where she almost shot some dude in the face because he allegedly hit her niece. The bullet almost landed on his head. If that isn’t enough to show you what she is capable of doing then I don’t know what is. She already has a violent temperament and a terrible history. To many things are telling me that she is guilty and her friends are just trying to help her save face.
@moxpoe1 actually ppl do lie about that type of stuff. you would be surprised to know how many cases come up in which someone will say ” this person raped me” or something and then they found out that it was someone else who did the crime but the victim was too afraid of the person who say it so they accused someone else. that was in the newspaper once.
personally i think she’s capable of doing it but that doesn’t mean she did it. i wouldn’t be surprised if someone in her crew did it. she ran b/c she heard gunshots and she probably knew who did it or that she should get away from the scene to stay away from trouble. i don’t trust makeda at all. i do think she stole from remy and they both seem like heartless chicks so who knows
I really believe he is gay cause lets keep it real he thank he fine but he aint never had a girl oh y3eah how can you not no it waz not a gay beach there is a sighn to let u know what it waz so yeah he gaaaaay he like it in da booty it is ashame to see another brother bein sucked up by another brother
Even if Remy Ma didn’t shoot the girl why did she leave the scene? Why did she leave her so called friend their bleeding. That is just messed up.
wow.
that’s all i got.
THIS IS THE QUESTION I HAVE……..IF SHE WAS NOT GUILTY OF ANYTHING WHY RUN? HER FIRST REACTION SHOULD OF BEEN IF SHE DIDNT SHOOT HER WAS DAMN……..MY BEST FRIEND HAS BEEN SHOT WHO DID IT AND SOMEBODY CALL THE AMBULANCE.
NOT RUN……..WHY RUN IF YOUR NOT GUILTY?
I CONCUR WITH U FOXXY…WHY RUN IF YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT
AND ANOTHER THING THAT WAS REMY’S MONEY THAT WAS ALLEGEDLY STOLEN…..WHY WOULD SOMEBODY ELSE BE ANGRY ENOUGH TO SHOOT HER WHEN IT WAS REMY’S MONEY……DO A HIT FOR REMY OVER MONEY AND THERE ARE WITNESSES AROUND……..
SHE DID IT
@ littlemamajtb: Go sit the f*ck down and shut the f*ck up lil girl. Children are to be seen not heard . This aint no godd*amn playground ,and isnt it past ya g*ddamn bedtime? Dont make me whip out my can of Btych be Gone. See this is what happens when you allow children to sit and converse among grown folks.They dont know how to act! Let me school your azz youngem:
This isnt about names .Its about Remy shooting her friend, which I feel is quite serious. Now maybe you been smoking the same shyt as Remy coming up in here trying to regulate with that ignorance. Ghetto is a state of mind.I was raised in the hood ,and I have never been ghetto.
it’s a damn shame that the cops impounded makeda’s maxima (driver’s side covered in blood, 2 bullets lodged inside) so we can’t see it for ourselves.
it’s also a damn shame that area security tapes (come on y’all, we all know you can’t even piss on a corner round there) don’t show the “confrontation”
it’s more of a shame that this “witness” (a.k.a. busybody anonymous) hasn’t told this tale to anyone in authority.
wild.
damn shame.
This is just another one of those f-ed up situations where somebody got caught up at the wrong place at the wrong time. I can honestly believe remy’s innocence now. Bcuz in the 1st place, she has 2 much money to shoot nebody and potentially end that cash flow over 2-3 stacks. Doesn’t make sense. But this happens all the time. A entourage member/groupie calls themselves “defending the celebrity’s honor”, and tries to “handle” some shit and the celebrity ends up taking the fall. Sad, but we see this all the time! People just need to start watching the company they keep. Remy knew that chick was a thief so she shoulda put that hoe down back when she stole from her the 1st time. And she knows her clique is wreckless, so she need not have any huge confrontations in public. Good thing she has witnesses backing her up. That’s more than most. So she does stand a chance…
Ummmm, so no one in the crew shot anyone, but EVERYBODY ran. Come on!
I knew this was gonna happen. the whole time i was like she didnt shot that girl one of her homies did and watch she gon go to jail for not snitchin…just like Kim!
Umm, I dont know what everyone is trying to defend Remy for now. She is wack. Sheezus Christ is the Queen of NY and her album didnt even go gold. Im not even from NY and thats nerve wrecking to me! Celebrities get away with way too much- granted, some of them are innocent. This just rings GUILTY to me. Im sorry. Remy wants to the ‘Im so hard/tough cause Im a rappa- f the weatha man with that desert she make it rain on em’ shyt. She just tried to be hard to live up to what she say in her rhymes and I HOPE her ass rots in jail. Call me what u want, hata, closeminded… I am none of the above. She had the opportunity to open doors for female rappers and she goes and does this dumb shyt cuz she wanna be a gangsta. Hey Remy- U got the juice now…
Hot Female rap artist From Washington D.C
More room for me!!
they are just trying to turn the whole story around remy know she shot that girl and got her flunkies to tell a different story , you ll see how it plays out in court, they dont take you to trial if they dont have solid evidence, they know the public will believe anything,this girl is mad grimmy and she need to do time, she is just a bad vibe all the way around, get her off the streets and were she belongs, nobody’s believing your lies your telling people your probably paying off, your an embarrisment to female rapper, do the crime and you will i repeat will do the time lo life!!!!! see you in bout 10 years and thats if your lucky.
