    Just a few minutes ago in a Manhattan Criminal Court, Remy Ma was sentenced to 8 years in prison for a weapons and coercion charge. Remy was scheduled to be sentenced on April 23rd but the judge postponed the trial until today, so that Remy's lawyer would have time to prepare for the court date. On March 27th, Remy was found guilty of first-degree assualt, criminal weapons charges and attempted coercion for shooting her former friend last July.

    Remy pleaded to the judge, "I stand here today as Remy Mackie," she said with tears in her eyes, "I'm a loving wife, mother and loving daughter and loving sister to my brothers and sisters." Remy spoke to the victim saying "I apologize for not saving you from your physical and mental scars."

    In related news, Remy was supposed to marry fellow rapper Papoose tomorrow but Pap apparently tried to smuggle in a handcuff key to try and break her out of prison. "A wedding was scheduled today and a visitor to that wedding service was found to be in possession of jail contraband so the wedding was canceled," a corrections official said."The key that was found today easily opened handcuffs that we and other law enforcement officials use," the official said. Papoose was not charged after he voluntarily surrendered the key to authorities. He was quickly ushered out of the jail before reaching the Rose M. Singer chapel, where the two were set to be married. The two will now not be allowed visitation with each other until November of this year.
