Remy Ma gets reduced sentence for a shooting outside a nightclub...
Rapper Remy Ma has been sentenced to eight years in prison in the shooting a woman outside a Manhattan nightclub.
The state Supreme Court sentence was handed down today to the 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Remy Smith, for assault, weapon possession and attempted coercion.
Remy Ma, who could have faced up to 25 years in prison, was teary-eyed as she heard the sentence. She says last summer's shooting was an accident; an appeal is planned.
Correction officials say they called off her weekend wedding at the Rikers Island jail after the groom, fellow rapper Papoose, showed up with a handcuff key.
