Remy Ma’s Victim is Looking to Collect

Posted by Bossip Staff

 

Remy Ma’s victim, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, is on a mission to get paid:

“In a lawsuit filed in the Bronx, Makeda Barnes-Joseph doesn’t just go after Remy, she wants coin from Remy’s music label and even the pizza joint where she and Remy were boozing before she got shot. She claims that Universal Music received ‘financial profit and economic benefit from the unlawful, violent and anti-social conduct’ of Ma. As for The Pizza Bar, Makeda says they kept serving Remy even though she was ‘visibly’ [drunk]“.

This chick has lost her mind. She’s suing every last one of them ho’s she believes is associated with getting capped. We’re surprised that she didn’t include the gun and bullet manufacturers in the lawsuit. It’s pathetic what people will do to get a dollar.

  1. Hannibal

    AHAHAHAAHA

  2. Nikko

    Yeah, she really needs to be going after the person(s) who sold Remy the gun she was shot with instead of going after the pizza shop owners. That’s just ridiculous.

  3. DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!

    ???

  4. Aunt Viv

    Whoa, this chick is ridiculous-but then again so is Remy Ma…


  5. she wasn’t trippin when she was eating pizza and drinking right along with her…..now all of sudden…..GTFOH

  6. bree is an OBAMA supporter.. YES WE CAN!

    and this is why Remy shot her..Makeda stole the money and now she wants more!

  7. always knew

    Maybe, just maybe, Remy should have thought about that before she shot her friend. I’m not saying Makeda is right for suing everybody, but, she damn sure ain’t wrong, either. She (Remy),trifling ass should’ve had better friends. Not ones that steal from you…Oh yeah, $3K ain’t enough to try to kill somebody, which leaves me to believe that Remy is broke. Good luck getting paid, even if you get a judgment…

  8. sexy

    This should have been under the title “HOE SIT DOWN”….. c’mon the pizza joint?

  9. sxyQblondie

    SEE. FOLKS ALWAYS LOOKING TO CASH IN A TICKET. IM GONNA START GOING ON A SUING SPREE. SO MC DONALDS, WALMART, HECK EVEN MY EMPLOYER, THEY ALL HAD BETTER WATCH THEIR BACKS. CAUSE THE FIRST CHANCE I CATCH YOU SLIPPIN, ME AND MY LAWYER WILL BE AT YOUR THROATS!! (if other idiots can get away with it, why cant us regular hard working folk take a stab at it..lol)

  10. DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!

    @ NIKKO

    I DOUBT THE GUN USED WAS SOLD… MORE LIKE STOLE!

    @ BOSSIP

    I’M GLAD YOU GUYS ARE AGAINST SUEING!!!

    SOMEBODY CAN GET AT YA’LL AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY!!!

    ANYWAY, SUEING IS JUST ANOTHER FORM OF PUNISHMENT FOR CRIMINAL ACTS.

    SHOOTING IS A CRIMINAL ACT.

    SELLING BOOZE TO A DRUNK IS A CRIMINAL ACT.

    GOING AFTER THE RECORD CO. OR A GUN CO. IS MORE A SOCIAL STATEMENT.

  11. Link9

    MAN, Remy and The Pizza Place don’t have money so what’s the point.

  12. new2this

    that’s crazy.. she should sue her dayum self for being there with Remy noticing that she was drunk.. dayum, people go for BROKE trying to get some money. i can see her suing remy for shooting her azz, and for reimbursing her if she had to miss work for it. but chick is really trying to “get rich, or die trying”.. literally.

  13. Shachia

    THAT GOLDIGGN BITCH!!! GOT REMY LOCKED UP FOR 8 YEARS WIT HER THEIFIN ASS! AS IF IT AINT ENOUGH FEMALES MC’S GETTN LOCKED UP AN SHIT! KARMA’S A MUTHAFUCKA THO, SHE GON GET HERS!

  14. Old Timer

    Makeda must have one of those jack-legged ambulance chasing, take 90 percent Jewish lawyers!


  15. WTF! Ha! I guess!


  16. All I can say is whatever chippers Remy Ma has left is GONE. All for $3000, she’ll probably spend 3 million when it’s all said and done. Poor, stupid, BIATCH,sitting in jail eating green bologna and rotten fruit.

  17. PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    thats not an uncommon lawsuit .. its called a deep pocket lawsuit and they are often very successful because it wont seem ludacris to a jury .. they’ll award her punitive and compensatory damages i bet ..and the case wont be too hard to prove everybody experts now because of law & order

  18. Al-Anon

    She figures that somebody will pay, if for nothing else for her to go away. The pizza parlor and the bar’s insurance will pay. Most people forget that when people get “damaged” it is the insurance company that pays.

    Michael Jackson didn’t pay the settlement to that kid, his insurance company paid.

  19. Blond-Redhead

    heyyy

  20. the crystal

    bossip, i think u missed the mark on this one. this precious girl has been traumatized and needs to be made whole again. its not as simple as she is hungry for stacks. she is seeking justice and deserves to prosper. its going to a long journey for her recovery. not only was her body wounded, buts so was her spirit. she is a warrior for even being on this planet. peace and light and prosperity to her. lets all send her our love.

  21. Keesha

    Okay? Her and fifties baby momma must be friends with their money grubbin asses.


  22. yeah that’s kind of fuked up, trying to get the dollar

  23. buttafly

    She deserves every single dime and more. she should not have to suffer for the foolishness of this nobody ass rapper and the people who serve her.

  24. Al-Anon

    @the crystal

    bossip, i think u missed the mark on this one. this precious girl has been traumatized and needs to be made whole again.

    ___________________________________________

    How will money make her whole again?

  25. Jahpson

    of course.

    should ahve seen this coming

  26. texas finest

    ..yeah she stole that money from remy

    next she will be writing a tell all book

  27. I'm Just Me

    Are we surprised. You knew this was coming next.


  28. This is the “deepest pockets” theory of law, invented by lawyers, not the victim. According to the theory, you sue as many people as possible so the lawyers (and only coincidentally the victim) get paid the most. To lawyers, it’s just paperwork and court work, which they’re doing already so here they go again.

  29. Smartie

    I believe she was already trying to collect by pocketing that 2g she got shot over ! Dumb ass.

  30. TEEDY

    WHY IS SHE WRONG. I WONDER IF Y’ALL WERE SHOT AND AS A RESULT COULD NOT BARE CHILDREN OR HAVE A NORMAL LIFE, IF Y’ALL WOULD SUE. SHE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO GET MONEY. I’M SURE SHE HAS MEDICAL BILLS UP THE YING YANG CAUSE Y’ALL KNOW HEALTH CARE IN AMERICA IS NEITHER CHEAP OR FREE!!!

  31. python king

    waiting for remydude to pay child take your ass down to the welfare with a 10dollar pack of newports and stand in line#girl you got nerve

  32. num1dominicano

    if I was senselessly shot in my guts with a .45 slug….I’d be going after EVERYBODY too…

  33. LoveMeBaby

    not surprised…but the most she will get from Remy is a $1 cause thats all shes worth


  34. She retained a lawyer. The lawyer decides who to go after and he or she will go after every available dime if they are doing their job. I know a cat that got stuck up in a White Castle parking lot and sucessfully sued White Castle for not securing their property so it is doable. I’m like “num1dominicano”….take a slug and then tell me who should and shouldn’t get sued.

  35. Keesha

    Nobody deserves to get shot. With that said, she was friends with Remy since forever and they grewup together. They were probably together all the time, knew everything about eachother, etc… She knew exactly what type of person Remy was and how she got down. She probably even knew she had a gun. Moral of the story, watch the type of people you surround yourself with or anything is liable to happen.

  36. INOCENTbiSTANDR

    Shit all I’m saying is if Remy had money she wouldn’t be sittin her ugly ass up in jail ova 3 grand. I would like to think that if a friend of mine hit it big, I wouldn’t have to steal. Now that’s not to say that I fault her for getting shot being that I was shot and that’s some painful shit. But what I’m saying is be glad you alive and move on with your life pimpin!

  37. magz

    why is everybody down on this poor girl that got shot in the stomach?

  38. Kym G told ya'll Ni**as

    >>>>>>>>>>>>> Look at that TIRED rag Doll chick.. I would try to get every dolla I could too… Just look at her..

    (not good about the incident)


  39. REMY DON’T GOT NO MONEY. SO IF SHE CAN’T GET MONEY

    FROM REMY, GET IT FROM EVERYBODY ELSE.

    DAMN REMY IS ONE STUPID BROAD SHE DESERVES JAIL TIME


  40. Too bad the only person the really owes her anything ain’t got no money. Maybe she should try to parlay her time in the spotlight into a video ho gig or something.


  41. This chick is suing everybody….shes a loser….she knew what kind of person Remy was…..In the end everybody gets what they deserve, I can’t wait to see how this turns out……

  42. Chaka

    This shows she has a good lawyer. In order to recover damages, you have to sue the people who have insurance or deep pockets. Suing Remy alone will net you $0.

  43. bree is an OBAMA supporter.. YES WE CAN!

    idk if you’re serious or not, but that comment is straight comedy.. :lol:

  44. Ms Certain

    This chick ain’t shyte!!

    Remy is in jail while this ho is suing MF’s! The bottom line is she stole Remy’s money and is profiting off the outcome!

  45. WhatsYoursIsMine

    I feel sorry for her being shot, but I agree with Keesha. She knew who Remy was and what she was capable of. And she shouldn’t have stolen anything from her “Friend”. People have to watch who they hang with, and was $3k/$2k whatever it was worth all of this?

  46. And.....(with 5 dots)

    I’m sorry to say but girlfriend might indeed have a case against the record company and the pizza place. I bet she walks away with a nice stack of cash.

  47. RRD

    Just like black folk, blame the victim! The child was shot by someone she thought was a friend. We don’t know if she stole the money or not. I haven’t read anywhere that they are definite the money was stolen by her. Remy didn’t even find it in her purse after she had the nerve to look through it while the girl was sitting there with a bullet in her stomach. I’d sue too. I shouldn’t have to pay hospital bills with my money. She didn’t shoot herself. Are you the people who also believe OJ is innocent? We have got to stop supporting the wrong people. Lawyers aren’t stupid. They know who to sue. That’s why they have money and the majority of the idiots making the friend the victim are probably sitting in someone’s projects.

  48. PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    whether she stole money from remy or not, the violation of rights came into play when remy shot this girl. stomach wounds are nasty and complicated and people can bare the afflictions from those injuries for a long time after and saying she knew who remy was so she has no cause for the suit is stupid. do any of us know who our “friends” are hell most people dont even know who they hell they are and when it comes to money blood relatives will slice your ass up so lets just be real .. and all of that is irrelevant, she was found guilty, and that in itself opens her up to all kinds of liability. wrong doing, and guilt have been established so a person walking by could sue her ass and say they were traumatized and now have anxiety attacks because of the violence they witnessed. lol

  49. Ashy Larry

    Both of them broads give new meaning to BustED Baby, so it don’t even matter.

  50. sheesh

    errr she got shot into her abdomen.. she could have been killed. dear bossipers, what would you do if you were her? She might not be able to have children. If I was her I’d also make everyone pay who was involved in it, even if it was indirectly. and saying well she was hanging with the thugs she should have known what could happen is some stupid arse bs.. that doesn’t justify Remy’s wrongs. I am surprised that some of who are saying this in here are grown ass women. smh

    oh and would you please move out of your city coz if u stay there u know u could catch a bullet one day.. you know the thugs down the street don’t play… get it? smh

  51. leroy

    THIS IS BUSINESS LAW – YOU’RE SUPPOSE TO NAME EVERYONE WHO WAS POTENTIALLY NEGLIGENT.

    IT’S NOT THAT SHE’S WACK, THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN YOU’RE SUING IN BUSINESS LAW.

    GEEZ, BOSSIP.

  52. Kassie BK 4lyfe

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ LOL!!

  53. lanette

    no what is pathetic is that Remy Ma shot her in the 1st place.

    she could have killed the damn girl….

    shot in the belly is no joke bossip!

  54. Shootingstar

    Why shouldn’t she get paid? Her medical bills aren’t going to pay themselves.

  55. Michelle

    Shut the fuck up Bossip. The bitch got shot!!! She’s fucked up for life, she deserves everything she can get. You niggas should be a shamed of yourselves.

  56. Lilyflower

    Love her smile and her confidence. She always has a positive attitude and that is what makes her outstanding. Everytime I signed in the site ___ b l a c k c e n t u r y. c o m____ >>> and some men were talking about her and said she is attractive.


  57. it might sound crazy but with a good lawyer she will get paid

  58. memchee

    She’s unecessarily running up a legal tab cuz’ she know remy is most likly broke.

  59. poolside

    All of you people saying she’s wrong are CRAZY as hell!!! It’s a proven FACT she shot the girl…..where has it been proven that the girl actually stole Remy’s money..When did I miss that? And since when does stealing give you the right to shoot someone… PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT LAW TO ME! If someone shoots me my sister or any of my friends behind some drunken rampage…….KISS MY YELLOW ASS CUZ I’M SUING TOO!!!! And if they got a pot to piss in and a window to throw it out I want that ish too!

  60. THISISCRAZY

    Is this girl out of her rabid mind??!!! You lie, make up a story and press charges then get Remy the best female rapper of all time locked up sentenced and now you want how much money????IF WE WERE IN INDIA, MAKEDA’S HANDS WOULD’VE BEEN CHOPPED OFF FOR STEALING IN THE 1ST PLACE. NOW YOU WANNA REACH FOR THE DEEPEST POCKET YOU CAN FIND, GREEDY PEOPLE, HER AND HER LAWYER ARE DISGUSTING. ALL WE CAN DO IS PRAY FOR PEOPLE LIKE THAT, GOD BLESS HIM AND GOD BLESS REMY!

  61. statim08

    In a civil lawsuit it’s accepted practice to include any and all parties involved. That way there are enough pockets to draw upon for damages. She was assaulted so she’s entitled to some compensation.

  62. Negrita Tan Rica

    I don’t think the list is long enough for people she should sue. I think we need to add:

    1.) All the pizza parlor employees

    2.) The bullet manufacturer

    3.) Any witnesses to the shooting that night

    4.) The reporting press

    5.) The entire hospital staff

    Hmm, damn, I think we’ve added just about everything. I say she will probably get 100,000 max once this thing blows over.

  63. Dont Like Me

    She actually has very credible case. Most likey theses cases will settle out of court. Entertainers have to stop thinking they are above the law. The labels that back them have to be held accountable for the image of their clients.

  64. phoenix_simone_xoxo has 9 months til my big day

    I think I will go to Buckhead tommorrow and get a slice from Fellini’s, sit out in the sun and watch the cars go by. Why do I want pizza all of a sudden? That thing on Remy’s head looks like that braided wig Rick James had on his head in the Super Freak video. Having a jacked up weave/wig is not the business! I need her to go ahead and get that together.

  65. hope4more

    Whoooo —”Makes you want to scream and holler and throw up both your hands”

  66. Slapping HatersSince82

    Uh the girl was shot by remy stupid ass ma and should be compensated. some Black people act just like fuckin monkey’s in a jungle-yes, monkey’s. shooting each other, like we are not worth shit on a sidewalk. I hope this girl gets what she asks for-which will never make up for her being gunned down by some drty, uneducated, whore-

  67. Slapping HatersSince82

    F.Y.I the stomach holds most of the Blood humans have. because that is where most of our organs are- so how the fuck can Bossip or anyone else on this dumb ass site play that shit down like it wasn;t nothng? to me you’re are no different that whitey who hange our asses from trees- fuck you Bossip


  68. Isn’t it just heart-touching how she poses with her cane? Awww po thang

  69. DC KITTEN

    Makeda sit your poe broke ghetto a$$ down, you should have thought about money before you pushed Remy to jail stupid. I would have opt jail time for Remy to pay me first before turning state evidence and receiving nothing. Makeda You got punked sit down you ain’t gonna win no case for money.

  70. Why

    Really who cares about either one of these stank ass broken down ghetto trash bitches? Fuck these stupid people.

  71. indiandyme

    Agree with num1dominicano. How can anyone badmouth her for suing when she’s the one who has to deal with the consequences. Its easy to talk and say that she’s trying to cash in on “poor remy” but reality is that a gunshot wound can cause serious lifelong effects on an individual.

    I’d do the same if that happened to me.

  72. cd100

    uhm the girl did get shot for crying out loud. Maybe she should focus her lawsuit, but hell she could’ve died. ANd she has to live with the effects of a gunshot wound for life. Please believe just about everyone in her situation would sue somebody.

  73. REAL2REELVISIONS

    I think that whatever record label Remy is on has insurance and will be held responsible. I think that the pizza parlors insurance will get sued because they did keep serving an already drunk woman. The gun manufacturer will be sued because it`s probally an illegal gun, Remy didn`t have no permit and it probally came from Va or something. she also needs to sue BOSSIPS ass for slander. Shid get paid I always say, cause damn gas is high.

  74. Ro Ro

    FUCK OFF BOSSIP!!!

    Markeda get your boo boo. Cuz people can say what they want but you the one walking with a cane. Take all they asses to the cleaners!!

  75. mikki

    Shhhiittt. let a nigga shoot me! I’m suin’ EVERYBODY ASS. Who cares if ole girl stole money, she didn’t deserve to potentially pay for that shit with her life. If Remy was real hood, she would’ve dragged that bitch out the car and gave her a good beat down. And what if Remy had killed the bitch?

  76. WTF????

    What the? Okay… this is a sign the world is really coming to an end. I can’t believe that people are actually think the chick is a golddiggin’ loser out for cash. She was shot! She didn’t shoot herself! She ain’t ask to be shot! She got shot on some ole “I THINK you may have stole my money” ish. It was only $3K!!! WTF? This chick now has crazy medical bills, wears a colossomy bag, and she can’t have children. Come on now! As a women, you got to feel for her somewhat. I’d sue too! You ain’t fittin’ to shoot me for no damn reason and get away with it while I’m assed out and in debt!!

    What’s worse…. You people really support REMY for doing that ish! She shot a chick over $3 damn thousand dollars! That whole ish was ri-damn-diculous! Remy could’ve cut the chick off and kept 8 years of her life! Remy was stupid as hell for doing that shit! She f*cked up her life and career over $3 damn G’s!


  77. BLACK BITCHES ARE TRIPPIN.
