Remy Ma’s attorney admitted in the closing arguments of rapper’s case that the rapper did in fact, shoot her friend during a disagreement in July last year.
Lawyer Ivan Fisher called the shooting, which left Makeda Barnes-Joseph hospitalized, an accident. Fisher claimed Remy Ma (real name: Reminisce Smith) and Barnes-Joseph struggled over the latter’s bag when the two argued over missing money after leaving a birthday celebration for a mutual acquaintance. The former Terror Squad star accused Barnes-Joseph of pocketing upward of $3,000 in cash.
Fisher told the jury the women’s hands hit the rearview mirror of Barnes-Joseph’s car during the tussle and the gun then went off, according to AP.
“There is no other explanation for why Remy Smith would have chosen that unique moment in time to shoot her,” Fisher said.
The surprising admission was a far cry from Fisher’s opening remarks when he attempted to characterize Barnes-Joseph as a celebrity groupie who was misrepresenting the nature of the events in order to win money from the “Lean Back” rapper. In December, Barnes-Joseph filed a multimillion-dollar civil lawsuit against Remy Ma.
In July, Remy vehemently denied shooting Barnes-Joseph. When reporters gathered around the rapper’s New Jersey home, she maintained her innocence.
“I didn’t shoot my friend!” she yelled.
Jury deliberation in the case begins Tuesday. If convicted, Remy Ma could face up to 25 years in prison.
So it’s obvious that Remy Ma will be facing some jail time but since the confessions are out, the judge might be a little soft on her. Let’s just hope that she keeps the name “Sheesus Christ” to herself from now on though. It didn’t seem to bring any kind of luck to Remy.
Beatie, Popular Fidelity reports, was born a woman, but had gender reassignment surgery. His wife couldn’t get pregnant, but he still could. So now the child’s father will be the one to give birth.
That explains it! So this “guy” was born a woman and somewhere along the lines, he/she transformed himself/herself into a man for the reason of… okay, let’s not get into that.
Check out what “Thomas” had to say about this whole deal:
How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am. In a technical sense I see myself as my own surrogate, though my gender identity as male is constant. To Nancy, I am her husband carrying our child-I am so lucky to have such a loving, supportive wife. I will be my daughter’s father, and Nancy will be her mother. We will be a family.
