[Update] Remy Ma Arrested, Pleads Not Guilty

RemyRemy Ma pleaded not guilty to attempted murder on Sunday for the shooting of a female friend in lower Manhattan.

After her arraignment the Bronx rapper, born Remy Smith, was freed on $250,000 bail.

On Saturday morning, police responded to a 911 call and found a 23-year-old woman with a gunshot wound to her lower torso in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood.

Three blocks away, officers discovered an abandoned Cadillac Escalade owned by Remy Ma which had crashed into a park car.

The victim, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, was hospitalized in stable condition at nearby St. Vincent Hospital.

Later that night, Remy Ma turned herself in and was charged with attempted murder, assault, and weapon possession.

The victim told the New York Daily News that she and Remy Ma are close friends, and that the dispute was over missing money.

According to Barnes-Joseph, they left a downtown bar around 3:40 a.m. and entered Remy Ma’s vehicle. Remy then allegedly accused her of stealing $3,000, ordered her to dump out her purse, and shot her.

“All I heard was the gun go off,” Barnes-Joseph said. “I couldn’t believe she shot me!”

Barnes-Joseph added that even as she sat in the car bleeding, Remy continued to search through her things for the missing cash.

“What hurts me is that when she shot me she went over and dumped the bag,” she explained. “She didn't even say, ‘Oh my God, I just shot her.’ That's what hurt me so much.”

The rapper’s attorney has “adamantly” denied Barnes-Joseph’s allegations.

“I ask everyone to keep an open mind,” said Scott Leemon, her attorney. “Things are not always as they seem.”

Remy, remy, remy. Innocent until proven guilty. Sometimes, we give ourselves away. Why did you run, ma? crash your vehicle into whatever, and then get out and run from that? if you did shoot, i can understand the panic, but why sacrifice your freedom in the first place? why not just dropkick her a***. But to pull out a gun, and just start shooting? that's crazy, girlfriend. Crazy. I hope you didn't do it. It sure wasn't worth it. Believe me.

Wow, i hope she didn't do it, but who esle is ol girl pointing out? i just don't get it, overall, if you are one of the rare ones being blessed with an oppurtunity to make loads of money, why why why ruin that? i cant judge anyone, but somebody please help me understand why throw away that oppurtunity? does she have a college degree? a backup plan? i'm not sure, but i don't think so. Nothing should have gotten in the way of her success, and there are people who would kill to be in her place right now. I just hope she didn't do it.

Half these rap hoes arent positive in no way lil kim went to jail, remy shooting her best friend over a punk ass 3g's you talk all that sh*t in your raps 3g's should be 3 dollars to you. I bet if one of those terror squad n*ggars took your sh*t you wouldn't shoot them. But i guess you dont wanna be labeled as an commercial rapper. So you have to prove a point, well you proved it you proved your money aint that long. So be conceited about your hand cuffs.

It just shows that money never can buy class. I have seen pictures of remy entering court and she has this huge grin on her face. Personally, i think this is an act. Behind the grin is a scared little girl. How dumb can this chick be? she has 2 kids and she goes shoots this girl in the stomach. I hear all this crap about the respect and sh*t... Let's see how respectful prison will be where she will probably be someone's ho...plus, remy rapping career isn't that great so no wonder she was freakin about 3k it's the only bit of $ she will have until the next royalty check comes in.
