Remy Ma was accused of intentional assault and was sentenced to eight years

Remy Ma surrendered herself to the New York City police department in July 2007 in connection with a shooting incident in Manhattan. According to the police department, Remy was outside the Pizza Bar with a few people, and a verbal dispute happened in the early morning hours.

The argument took a worse turn, and one of the individuals, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, was injured after being shot. Although surveillance footage did not reveal any argument scenes, Makeda identified Remy as the one who shot her.

On the other hand, Ma was charged with attempted murder, assault, and weapons possession, but she pleaded not guilty. However, she was then accused of witness tampering and assault, where she was charged with telling her male friends to attack the boyfriend of a witness. She was then charged with assault, illegal weapon possession, and attempted coercion in March 2008.

Makeda was charged with stealing $3 from Ma, and the latter was checking Makeda's purse after the shooting incident. Remy then left the spot, leaving Makeda injured inside a car, and Makeda had to undergo different surgeries.

Barnes-Joseph had already sued Remy Ma for damages, pain, and suffering, and she was at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women, serving her sentence of eight years. Remy served for six years before being freed in 2014, even though her release date was set for 2015.
