Looks like Terror Squad’s Remy Ma followed in Lil’ Kim’s footsteps. At least she’s keepin’ it real about the fact that prison isn’t some cool place to chill and gain some street cred. Its hardcore. Pop the hood for her letter to fans

I always find myself thinking about what I was doing a year ago, two years ago, five years ago today. I never remember exactly where till I find myself imagining where I would be today. I rarely listen to the radio because it’s sort of depressing. Not being able to record is stressful not because I’m a rapper but because that was my way of venting and expressing myself. So I write a lot! So much that now I have a callous on my finger from holding a pen. I guess I got used to texting my rhymes!

I get a lot of fan mail and everyone asks me how I’m doing? I say fine, the way I see it I never imagined making it this far with my sanity. Not being able to go somewhere when you want, see your family when you want (on many occasions when you need to), can’t use the phone, take a shower, wear clothes, or even eat when you want – super aggravating. Whenever, which is almost everyday I get visits, a lot of kids ask for autographs. It’s something that I used to do almost everyday but now it actually feels weird, I really feel like an inmate.
And as much as I hate to admit it, I really am an inmate. I mean, it kind of grows on you when certain people go out of there way to make you feel like that.

They have this program called YAP (Youth Assistance Program) they keep asking me to join. It’s a program that brings inner city kids to the prison to show them what it’s like to be incarcerated. I hear that every group asks about me but I’m a little hesitant to join. They think it will give the kids a reality check that this can happen to anyone.

I however feel that it’ll be more of the kids wanting to see Remy Ma the rapper and because of that they won’t get that I’m actually in jail. So I’m still contemplating. If I figure out a way for them to actually get it, that this is really not a place you would ever want to be whether for 8 years, 8 months, or 8 minutes then I’ll do it.

Everyone in prison isn’t innocent but everyone in prison isn’t guilty. So whether you end up here on purpose or by accident, the pain you’re feeling is still the same. And I can quote a lot “gangsters” by saying that “I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy…”

Forever Innocent,
Rem

Hopefully she learns her lesson when she eventually gets out.

    Good she’s reflecting…

    We’ll see if she REALLY changed when she gets out via the way she acts and conducts herself…

    I hope she does become part of the program, but instead of referring to herself as Remy Ma, use her real name..and deliver the same message she’s saying here.

    Being in print and text takes something away from it. Hearing it sticks a bit more.

    It is a hard lesson to learn. When you gun someone down in the street over money, this is the outcome. Remy has a volatile temper which caused her to lose her freedom. She is a mother who won’t be able to raise her child because of her costly actions. It is a heavy price to pay.

    her parti*****ting in the youth program will be good for her image, but i feel her on dealing with the kids who only want to see Remy, the rapper and not Remy the inmate.

    A Manhattan judge sentenced rapper Remy Ma to 8 years in prison for shooting her former best friend in the gut. Her mentally-challenged boyfriend, rapper Papoose kirked out in the hallway outside the courtroom.

    The rapper Papoose exploded in a fit of anger outside a Manhattan courtroom this morning just moments after his tearful bride-to-be, Remy Ma, faced down an eight-year sentence for shooting a woman outside of a West Side hot spot last summer.

    “Get the ***** off me. ***** ya’ll. ***** jail,” screamed Papoose as his 10-person entourage restrained him and court officers told him to move it along and exit the hallway outside of Manhattan Supreme Court. “I don’t care. Lock me up. Lock me up. Take me to jail. Arrest me. It’s all about money.” (Source)

    6/15/09, 14:35:pm

    Anyway you look at it, her career as a rapper is over. My guess is that she’ll turn dyke in prison and when she get’s out she’ll start a career in lesbian *****.

    This woman has STILL not repented. They practically found the smoking gun in her HAND! WTF???? If she really wanted to help she would at least be honest, and accept responsibility, so other people can learn from her mistakes. I believe what she did was not in her right mind, meaning she didn’t intend it to go that far, but it did. Now own up to it, pay your dues and go on.

    This woman still has a long way to go. I don’t think she has learned anything except to feel sorry for not being able to floss in the streets. She shot a woman point blank in the streets whether she wants to accept it or not. Too bad she is still frontin’. It ain’t working.

    6/15/09, 14:48:pm

    I think she needs to do her time and get some peace of mind because whether she’s guilty or not. Only rapist, pedophiles, molesters, murderers ( I think they need to actually die and have the same crime committed to them personally) and people who have physically harmed some one needs to be locked up. All other’s need to be rehabilitated in which case 8 years Remy is suitable over 3G’s though….you could of got a pay day loan for that damn near).

    AWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAAAP!!!!

    6/15/09, 14:53:pm

    O, sure. Incarceration can happen to anyone. Anyone who goes around popping caps in people’s *****es. ***** this hoodrat piece o’ *****. You ain’t getting no sympathy from over here. You brought that ***** on yourself. Yet another dumb *****.

    This is how it usually happens-they come to prison,they think since they’re some kind of celebrity they’ll get better treatment when in actuality,they just become a number like any other inmate.

    All it takes is one stupid, senseless act to turn your life upside down. Having sex without a condom, drinking and driving, pulling out a gun and shooting someone in a fit of anger over MONEY. Is it really that serious? When will people learn?? 8 years is a long time to sit and reflect and hopefully get ones priorities in life straight!

    Pap, wasn’t hittin’ her right. If he was, she would have been more concerned about getting home to that *****, that fighting her homegirl over dough.

    6/15/09, 15:25:pm

    She should talk to those kids in the youth program. If she can reach one life, then it’s all worth it. Sometimes, we have to be put into a “quiet place” to reflect on our life and mistakes we’ve made. I won’t judge Remy for her mistake, but I won’t say she doesn’t deserve to be where she is for making it.

    Hopefully, she’ll come to terms with her own life and be able to reconcile things so that when she gets back out, she’s got more to be thankful, than sorry, for.

    You make a good point, mybaad. How are you gonna rob somebody’s purse, see damn well they have a gun and not take it? You must anti*****te them getting as mad as a motha*****a over the missing paper so you gonna leave the gun behind for them to shoot you in the ***** with it?

    i know but im wrong for saying this but i would love to see this parodied on “when keeping it real goes wrong.” i can hear that man’s voice saying remy ma was a famous female rapper and always kept it real but one day keeping real went wrong.

    Forever Innocent? Really… she needs to stop

    Oh yeah?

    6/15/09, 19:24:pm

    Noooo! NOoooooo!

    Get this…. it was said in court that Remy found the money! That’s why she was remorseful and trying to pay her friend. Her friend wasn’t having that ish because Remy shot her for nothing and they go waaay back. Now you know her friend knew she was a hot-head and would’ve shot her azz for stealing loot!!!!!

    Seek the light beyond the shadows

    6/15/09, 20:02:pm

    ok I’m not trying to be rude but, I would encourage her to do the youth program for a number of reason. First off ain’t too many kids walking around thinking about Remy Ma the rapper I barley knew who she was and can’t recall any of her songs. I knew her for those horrid blonde bangs she loved to rock. So thinking your too much of a “celebrity” girl please pipe down lil man you aren’t all that and never were. Second if you shot that broad you deserve to be in jail. Normal people who get robbed and know the person who robbed them call the cops. Too many black folks especially, take the law into there own hands and that’s how you end up locked up scared to drop the soap. I think helping others to see what a complete idiot she was may help someone else think before they act. So sad to see a women who has children locked up for such a violent crime. Why wasn’t she thinking about her babies? Second her ***** should have taken the damn deal she would have been out in three, but no she wanted to plead innocent and now she got more than double that. Just not smart.

    Seek the light beyond the shadows

    6/15/09, 20:08:pm

    Almost forgot remember her fiancé, they were supposed to get married and this fool tried to smuggle in some handcuff keys? The wedding was called off. Ghetto FAB at its finest. Maybe her lil ones are better off hopefully someone with some sense is raising them now.

    Mr. Executive

    6/15/09, 22:03:pm

    Remy is a good example for a lot of young people. She rapped about all the hard ***** and now the reality of what she did is getting to her. 8 years, when she gets out, what will she do. She won’t rapp again, no education, no husband, nothing!!! Young People Wake The ***** UP!!!! The bad ***** rapper is now in a bad ***** jail cell, writing songs, for what, she will be old and she is already ulgy, so she can’t even model. Sad, poor and pathetic!!!!

    BOSSIP is a bunch of sucka a$$ writers for saying “I hopefully she learns her lesson”…get the f*ck outta here…like she said in the letter, she wouldn’t wish that ish on anyone, she’s remorseful and the time she got is ridiculous. Remy is one of the best (real) female MC’s out here – she should release something from the bing, music is hurting right now.

    FREE REMY!!!

    6/16/09, 13:08:pm

    “she’s remorseful and the time she got is ridiculous.” But this broad signs her letter, forever innocent? She shot her homegirl. At least we dont have to see her with the hood blond weave anymore. she shoulda been in jail for that a long time ago

    6/16/09, 17:41:pm

    I bet she dont want to see anymore guns when she gets out, I think she should join the program and teach the kids that jail is not a place they want to be ever and she should tell them never to pick a gun up under any cir*****stances

    BellaY

    6/16/09, 18:36:pm

    She signed ‘Forever innocent’. Until she is willing to accept responsibility for her actions, she really hasn’t learned a thing.

    always knew

    6/16/09, 18:38:pm

    Ya think?

    I’ll bet it is hard being locked up, but the REAL punishment is not the 8 years of jail/prison time..

    The REAL time is missing from her child’s life, then the BIGGEST punishment, is the CIVIL LAWSUIT that the former best friend, has against Remy Ma for $8 million. Remy doesn’t have it. She’s not going to have it. Her child’s life will be relegated to poverty and Remy herself most likely will never see those sums, again…

    THINK BEFORE YOU ACT… THE LIFE YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN…

    Good luck, Remy… :(

    You know,

    So many people get on their high horses on these gossip sites ANONYMOUSLY and are quick to judge someone….I wonder if your life was under the same microscope as you have placed her under if you would be any better..or seen as perfect…..probably not. I guess this somehow makes them feel better about their own lives so I will just say this:

    1. Remy Ma made an unwise decision and lost self control…her anger was leading her and not a sound mind.

    2. We all make unwise decisions, it’s just not always in the public eye…so who are we to judge? We don’t have a heaven or a hell to put her in. Judging someone only helps you validate your self-righteousness…and it’s only temporary..we all have our own sins to repent for.

    3. In reading this p*****age, Remy Ma has not come to the understanding necessary to be a good influence on her OWN children….if she still feels innocent, what message will she deliver to other people’s children? That it’s somehow okay to not accept responsibility for your actions……I’m in prison but I don’t belong here……maybe it is best she does not meet with those inner city youth.

    4. Kids need to be exposed to positive things, not focusing on the negativity. Prison exists, but should be far from the minds of our children. Instead, showing them what they could be if they did something constructive is better than taking them to see a celebrity in prison….but that is just my opinion. Why not take those inner city youth and teach them to be entrepreneurs and better yet, showing them to be honest and humble….Jesus is THE role model….

    5. She needs to deal with her struggles..without the criticism…judgment…etc……and accepting God into her life and learning how to love herself and those around her is the only way for anyone…not just her to grow. Be blessed.
