Judge To Rapper Remy Ma: "Lean Back"

Judge Refuses To Drop Additional Criminal Charges Against Female Rapper

December 5. 2007

Rapper Remy Ma, whose real name is Reminisce Smith, 26, is famous for the Fat Joe song "Lean Back." A few months ago she was  charged with shooting childhood friend, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, for allegedly stealing $2,000 from her purse. You know, most people would just file a police report, but I digress...

Her friend, a college graduate, denied the allegations.

Shortly after New York prosecutors filed charges against Remy Ma, it is alleged two members of her entourage attacked two men that are friends of the victim, as a form of witness intimidation (she barely sold any records and has an entourage -  not exactly economically prudent).

Today, a New York City judge slapped her with additional criminal charges for "witness intimidation and gang assault" regarding the second incident. I say well done to the judge, as this kind of lawlessness is unacceptable.

She is clearly trying to live the violent life she raps about and portrays in her videos.

It's funny, on a CD cover you called yourself "Sheysus Khryst" mocking the name of the Lord, but you aren't nailing yourself to a cross in your costly bid at keeping it real (which I don't suggest, as you aren't Jesus).

Clearly, it's only okay to keep it real when it's painless to you and you're shooting another person that is screaming out in pain for their life.

I Did Not Know A Bullet Could Come Out There

Remy Ma's friend passed the bullet in a terrible way. Must be like passing spicy food times ten:

Remy is also being accused of pulling a gun on video girl/rapper Gloria Velez. She probably just wanted some of Valez's hair to make new bleached bangs for her bumble bee bouffant:

There was an altercation between the rapper and video vixen Gloria Velez in 2004, and Raysor also alludes to reports of Remy pulling a gun on someone in the Bronx (something the Voice was unable to confirm). - Village Voice
