Things are definitely not looking good for rapper Remy Ma as she was recently found guilty on two counts of first-degree assault, attempted coercion, and criminal possession of a weapon.
The charges stem from a 2007 incident in which Remy shot a friend of hers after a fight over $3,000 in cash stolen from Remy’s purse. The defense tried to make the shooting an accident — but it looks like they didn’t quite convince the jury.
Remy was not found guilty of gang assault and witness tampering, among the nine total charges she faced. We’re told the victim’s friends and family taunted Remy when the verdicts were read — full pandemonium in the courtroom.
Remy could face up from five to 25 years in prison at sentencing.
Boxer Laila Ali will be taking a break from her day job for a while. She and her husband, former NFL star Curtis Conway, are expecting their first baby. Laila’s father is former World boxing champ Muhammad Ali and she followed in his footsteps. Boy or girl, this baby is going to have to be rough.
“I don’t know yet if we are having a boy or a girl, but I’m excited that I have a life inside me that my husband and I created,” Ali says in the May issue, which hits newsstands April 11.
The boxing champ, who co-hosts American Gladiators, and Conway married last July in the rose garden of the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey, Calif.
Among the 200 guests were Laila’s parents, Muhammad Ali and Veronica Porsche Anderson, along with her sister Hana Ali, who was a bridesmaid.
This is the first child for Ali and the fourth for Conway, who has twin sons, Kelton and Cameron, 13, and a daughter Leilani, 9.
“I am 100 percent undeniably happy,” Ali tells ESSENCE. “I’ve never been able to say that before.”
Ali, 30, and Conway, 37, met at his house, when he hosted a small get-together, which Ali attended with a friend. The pair became engaged on Thanksgiving 2006.
Shortly after their wedding, Ali told PEOPLE that married life was “excellent.”
“My husband and I are best friends,” she said. “We have great communication and we respect each other.”

Here’s a video of Diddy promoting his tee’s on the web. He’s telling people not to buy bootleg t-shirts but isn’t this commercial somewhat bootleg? These shirts are way too plain and simple. Of course people are going to bootleg it.Â
Don’t blame him though. Just another simple and easy way to make more money.
If you are not aware of what BitchAssNess is, and would like to hear it used in a sentence. Watch this clip from Making The Band 4 where Diddy uses the word over and over again.
With the new game developer and new story, he’s looking to sell much more than the last. For the second time around it’s something more exotic. People are saying it’s going to be a Hollywood blockbuster. This game sets 50’s character on a secret scheme of international gangsters.Â
Â
“When 50 was onsite at Vivendi with Tony Yayo, one of the things they challenge us to do was introduce new elements of gameplay in the game,” Blean said. “Instead of having them always running and gunning, they wanted something that would break the pace of that.” So “Blood on the Sand” will include vehicle missions such as a driver-and-turret-gunner Humvee road chase and a helicopter-borne shootout, in which 50 and his ally “rain death from above” onto enemies in a city.
The first 50 Cent video game wasn’t just a game; it was something of a 50 Cent box set, stocked with music and videos by 50 and G-Unit. “Blood on the Sand” is set to feature more exclusive music than the first.
50 Cent claims that his first video game “Bulletproof” was educational. It taught young children how gang life really is in the real world.
Can’t wait to see what he’ll be teachin in his new game Blood on the sand. The video game release date is set for this fall for Xbox and PS3, so don’t forget to check it out.
It looks like their was a little bit of drama going on for Usher during his video shoot for his Love in this Club single. It’s no surprise that Tameka Foster was the ‘evil bandit’ in this situation:
Our on-set source said Foster was upset when she found out stunning singer/songwriter Keri Hilson was personally picked by Usher to play his love interest in the video.
Tameka is very insecure,†our source said. “Even in rehearsals she was weird and clearly not happy that Keri is so gorgeous. Tameka threw a lot of attitude. The day of the shoot, Tameka dressed Keri very badly - she looked like an extra. Tameka wouldn’t let Keri have her hairdresser there - she had to use the hairdresser who was doing the extras.â€
Usher’s management has recently issued statements on this rumor being untrue. Believe it or not, it’s doesn’t come off as too surprising as a lot of people have some mixed feelings for Usher’s new wife, Tameka.
