Makeda Barnes-Joseph, 23, (above) spoke with The New York Daily News earlier this week as she recovers from being shot twice in the stomach, allegedly by rapper Remy Ma.
“I sit here and I try to think every day, ‘Why is she doing that?’ How can she deny that?’” the 23-year-old realty office administrative assistant told the New York Daily News. “I’m basically confined to the bed now. It’s really hard. It really hurts.”
Barnes-Joseph says she currently has to see a physical therapist every other day, and she also spoke about her disdain for rapper Foxy Brown.
“They feel that they can do whatever they want and get away with it,” fumed Barnes-Joseph. “They think that because they’re rappers that they need to make a name for themselves.”
Remy Ma – whose real name is Remy Smith – allegedly shot Barnes-Joseph after accusing her former friend of stealing $3,000 from her purse when the two left a nightclub in New York last month.
Since her arrest and charge, Remy has confessed her innocence and her lawyers have repeatedly said everything is not what it seems. Not to mention, shortly after the incident Remy’s manager Big Joe (of New Era Management) was quoted as saying,
“I don’t see [Remy] as the kind of person who would shoot someone … [this] criminal investigation will soon turn into a lawsuit for millions of dollars.”
We’ll keep you updated.
If she shot this women, then she needs to go to jail, no guestions asked. There are ways to handle theives and what she did was wrong. She should pay to take care of this woman, plus do time.
Remy sad to say but it’s about to be a wrap for u.
i dont kno wat to believe…but i do feel sorry for the victim
This is a prime example of why you do not name your children after nouns, adjectives or alcohol…Remy, Alize, Hennessey, Porsche, Precious, and so on…They end up shooting people and acting like fools. Sorry if any of you named after such are offended…don’t make the same mistakes your parents did. I never met a doctor, lawyer, or anyone in a high paying position named Rainbow.
lol @ 64 – It’s coming though … I know two lawyers named Precious and Princess (real talk).
Oh poor me, I hung out with a rapper and I got shot…..Waaa Waa Waaa
Moral of this story…If you see a b!tch with a blonde bang, RUN THE OTHER WAY!!!!!!!!!!!
I think there is more 2 the story than their letting on. Here is my scenario; Remy & Makeda were having a lesbian relationship. Makeda was tired of being ignored. So she decided that she was going 2 out Remy’s sexuality. I’m just kiddin, but yall have 2 admit, that would make a great movie 4 the Lifetime channel!
hey what does a name like REMY have to do with anything???… MY REAL NAME is Remmie and I’ve never walked up to someone and shot them just because my name is Remmie lol…
Life Challenges, support for people to face and transform adversity with courage.
I feel really bad that this young woman has her entire life ahead of her.. but i she continues to pray everything will be okay God will giver her the strength and courage she needs!!!!!
Someone shot her and that’s a fact so people should start talking just imagine if this was your sister, or friend…
Just a dumb ignorant ass—-no further comment
This situation is just so saddening and tragic.
First of the bitch ain’t bed ridden she is straight up lying she was at a couple of bbq since she has been out the hospital the picture of her on media take out is very real it was taken on august 4th she was on her way to a bbq i Harlem she is just trying to get some money thats all its alot behind this that people don’t know about but again she didn’t shoot her self and her friends that were there know the truth but they going try to be on the bandwagon to get some money . All i have to say is Makeda is full of shit and i hope she gets whats coming to her
With all that’s going on between her and Remy, why the hell she got Foxy Brown in her damn mouth????
she a fraud saying remy shot her.. chick please she jus want money off remy
LOL #12
lol@73 i was thinking the same thing! She just got shot and she’s flapping her gums about Foxy? Makeda do you wanna get shot AGAIN?
Fake or not, she does kinda look pitiful with the cane and all ……poor thing.SUE THAT REMY!
Remy is actin real gangsta lol. it reminds me of the opening scene of Thicker Than Water….
But does she even has those “millions of dollars”…just thinkin.?
So if Remy didn’t shoot her who did?
The whole situation is sad I hope it gets better the victim.
as much as i want to sympathize with her i want to see pictures of her in bed rest. somethingjust seems too fishy about that girl. maybe its just me.
and dat girl look like foxy brown forreal. like damn
when i was in new york a week and a half ago she was walking around flirting and laughing it up. i def dont trus the situation unless my glasses decieve me

I wanna know how everybody is claiming they saw her ass in NY? Damn, yall have a GPS tracking system on the chick?
Wow Remy. I love you but wow! you didn’t have to shoot her. Nobody is worth you flushing your freedom down the drain. Nobody
WHATEVA DA’ CASE…I FEEL 4 OL’ GURL.
Remy’s real name is Reminisce but the Doctors placed it as Remi Nisce Smith…either way, 64 is right in sayin pple with the names she mentioned get no love lol
Do I think Rem shot her? doubt it, Remy’s hoodrat potential but she always has someone else do the yappin and in this case I’m sure shootin for her. I can name off 3 different times Remy had beef and her brother or her boys handled it….over 3 g’s one of them prolly did it. Time she hada beef with Gloria Velez, it was her, Sunny, dat Murda Mami DJ and like 5 cousins that approached Gloria…again Remy doesn’t do shit alone and she’s always talkin…
As for Makeda, no u shoulda never got shot, but I WISH u’d come on this site and tell everyone about the time Charlie Rock and Robbie found U snoopin in Remy’s car…
For people asking how I know certain things, is because my best friend’s man is a promoter and deals with Remy, TS, and all of them all the time.

she looks UP @ ABOUT TO ME!!
How can they say that Remy Ma does not seem like the type of person to kill somebody when her lyrics speak other wise? Its sooo damn funny how these rappers talk the talk but when it comes to walkin the walk its like “who me..naw i talk it but I dont walk it”…how fake and phony…that girl had somethin if not “the shooter” of that girl. Rappers be lookin so damn stupid when they appear in court tryin to play innocent role, but behind their music they’re suppose to be as gangsta and hardcore as Tony montana…..thats why I dont care to listen to most rap music…because the ones rappin about glorifyin guns and murder are the ones you might see sittin at home watchin Mr. Rodgers…not to mention as gentle as a dove and wouldnt even hurt a fly. Too much falsifyin in music.
And true murders and gangstas dont brag about their dirty work…shh is kept low…real killaz are silent..not loud…wdf is the point of braggin about it? To prove a point? The only point bein proved is that your not as hard as you say you are because if you were you wouldnt have to prove it…it will show…heres some wisdom:Silence speaks louder than words. Somethings just dont have or need to be said.
shoot any1 who take ya money u playin wit my life!!!
Makeda better watch it or Foxy will beat her ass with a cell phone…….or is that Naomi.???
Question? If you were gutter, and you know you have been stealing from your best friend(means she needed money),and someone shot you during this argument, wouldn’t you want to say it was a Star(has money), instead of some broke person?
With women it’s always some jealousy and invy.. I have to have more proof, then the victims word. She’s a thief.! Stop always believing everything people say, and sit back and watch, before you so quick to judge. The media reports only what they want to report.
Question, if you hood (gutter), and you are stealing from your best friend, wouldn’t you want to flip the script and try to kill two birds with one stone? (Get rid of Remy- due to her jealousy, and get paid)
sheus kryst is hot though…..
Yeah #40 They have pictures on Media takeout of her like right when she was released from the hospital posing at Rucker Park,,
I’m not saying that it is not possible for Remy to have shot this girl…but we don’t know the whole story yet. My only thing is this girl is in the papers saying that she can’t do anything and she is confined to the bed and all that extra shit…basically trying to get as much sympathy as she can get. But its crazy how there are pictures of her at the Rucker game smiling and profiling. Now…there is nothing wrong with going out, but you are in the media making false claims.
(smh)…that’s really messed up man. i’m like homegirl: why would she do that?!
maybe remy’s bangs were sewed in too tight that night.
i have no problem with her filing a suit cuz the fact of the matter is she got shot in the stomach. but she dont like foxy and she type look like her
I think her ass did it why would her friend lie about something like that????
I’m sorry but LMAO @ the face she making in the pic with the cane. She trying waaaaaay to hard. This girl is set on getting paid. Do you boo!
If her plan is to get paid , and Remy shot her ,more than liekly she will. People have to learn how to deal with conflict without taking out a gun and shooting or killing someone.Its too easy! If she stole from Remy why didnt she call the cops or if she just had to get physical , beat her azz ole skool style.
I understand for many its a matter of principle,but shyt I aint risking my life and freedom by doing something as stupid as shooting someone.She has 2 kids .I guess she didnt think about that! Hot heads do that crazy shyt,people who cant work things out like rational adults. If a bitch needs to steal from me, and Im a rapper getting paid, she can take that $2000, and consider herself a former friend and step the f*ck off! Thats how I would have handled it.She wouldnt be my friend anymore .I’d tell her I hope the $2000 was worth the lost of my friendship and be done with it. Remy may not be rich ,but I’m sure she can make back $2000 .If it was that serious she could have called the police . Then Remy takes off running ,which to me seemed like something a guilty person would have done,because if your innocent why not stick around until the cops arrive?What ya scared of? No matter how upset I might have been,the sight of my socalled bestfriend laying their bleeding with a gunshot wound to torso would have been enough for me to make sure she was alright,and call an ambulance. These f*cking rappers (m,) take this whole keeping it real to another level. You can take the chicken out the hood but ya cant take the hood out the chicken!
#22 nina girl, they dont cut off peoples hands in third world countries, that happens in muslim countries.
God help us all. It seems like whenever I comment on Remy, I always say the same thing. U gonna shoot someone juss like that? Ur friend? Whatever happened to talkin’? Now and if she had killed her it would’ve been a different thing. USE UR FRIGGIN HEADS PPL…it’s there for a reason.
If her friend knew the way she was then why was she friends w/ Rem in the 1st place. See, in my book, crazy bitches are a no-no…. it must’ve been the money that kept her around. But I do feel bad for her—no one deserves anything like that.
Well i recogn that Mak shouldnt off stole from a friend who shared a 15year relationship and also Remi should of delt wid the situaltion better. Remi could have at least dissmissd her and made a couple more G’s by making a diss track or summet. But i feel for Remi aswel, i knw how mad you could be when some1 close duzz the opposit move to you. The moral is, wat goes around comes bk on you and-thats-the-way-it-issss hhugh! Its a shame to see blacks not loving the success of anothers.
BASED ON THE VICTIMS STORY REMY DID IT. I HOW CAN YOU NOT EVEN HAVE RESPECT FOR YOUR FRIEND IF YOU THINK SHE WOULD TAKE MONEY FROM YOU. HELL WHY AND THE HELL DID SHE HAVE A PURSE UNATTENDED IN THE FIRST PLACE SHE SHOULD OF GOT HER SHIT TAKIN LOL
MAKEDA IS A BIRD BUM BITCH……..REMY USED TO TAKE HER EVERYWHERE SHOPPIN CLUBS EVENTS ..AND SHE PLAYED HERSELF… SGES A GREEDY BUM BITCH THAT NEVA HAD SHIT….SO SHE GOT WHAT SHE DESERVED..REMY MA IS BITCH AND SHES GANGSTA WIT…..SO IF U DO GO DOWN WHICH AINT HAPPENIN MY DUDE…SHE STILL GOT ME AS A FAN FROM DAY 1….SO WONT YA’LL FAKE AS NIGGAS AND BITCHES GET ON HER DICK…..YES HER DICK LIKE I SAID…
well… she shouldnt have been taking money from her *friend* and she wouldnt have got shot… she say remy was her friend why she did that… well if u were her friend why u did that… she knew how remy was.. and if she knew that.. she shouldnt have put her self in that position to end up where she is…all coulda been avoided..
MY BITCH REMY IS A TRU G IF SHE DID IT SO WUT SHE STILL GONE BE THE SHIT BUT SHE AINT GOIN TA JAIL
Everyone….well not everyone but a lot of us seem to be forgetting that Makeda is the victim. A victim who was shot twice in her abdomen, something that could have very well KILLED her. And who’s to say that she really stole money from Remy….isn’t it possible that Remy could be lying? I mean, who died and made Remy the “Ultimate Truth Teller”?
And who really gives a s*** if Makeda was out at Rucker Park? Some of u act like she’s never suppose to go out again; like she’s never suppose to get better; like she’s suppose to stay in the bed for the rest of life. Would u?
Makeda, whatever u decide to do, whether it be to lay low, write a book, sue, or forgive….u have my support girl.
Remy, have a nice life doing ya 25.
And if Remy is such a “Tru G” and such a “Gangsta Bitch”, then why she crying now?
This is a quote from Remy’s myspace page:
“Please write letters about how Remy and her music has positively affected you, influenced you, inspired you, etc…in hope that the judge will be lenient in Remy’s upcoming sentencing”
See, REAL “Tru G’s” and REAL “Gangsta Bitches” don’t write shit like that…..they just take whatevers comin’ to ‘em.
U woulda never seen Tupac or Biggie write no shit like that.
Remy, u made your bed, now its time to lay in it.
