In May 2008, Remy was sentenced to eight years in prison. The rapper was charged with shooting an associate, Makeda Barnes-Joseph. At the time, Remy reportedly spoke to the judge about her life. “I’m not a thug,” she reportedly said. “I’m not a hard-core anything, I have feelings. I’m a wife, mother, daughter, big sister.”

In April 2012, Pap spoke about Remy and how she inspires him. “It actually inspires me,” Papoose said of Remy’s incarceration. “It inspires me to do better, because that could be me in that situation. It could be you or anybody living in this country. None of us are exempt from that. It could happen to any one of us. Everybody that’s incarcerated is not guilty.”
