Remy Ma has reportedly been sentenced to eight years in the slammer for shooting her friend outside of a New York nightclub in 2007. Ma's real name, Reminisce Smith, has been convicted of assault, weapons possession and attempted coercion for shooting her friend Makeda Barnes Joseph in the abdomen.

Remy was said to have been in tears while her sentence was being read at a New York courthouse on Tuesday, May 13, 2008. Her attorneys insist that the shooting was an accident and are planning to file an appeal.

It sucks to be her right now, but at least she can look on the bright side and realize she could've been sentenced to 25 years, but only received 8.

Remy's also probably bummed because her wedding to Papoose has been called off after he tried to break her out of jail. Reports claim that he tried to smuggle in a handcuff key to free his bride-to-be and now is banned from visiting her for six months. Aw, poor guy!
