NEW YORK, May 13 (UPI) -- Jailed rapper Remy Ma reportedly was left standing at the altar of a New York prison after her fiance attempted to sneak a handcuff key through security.

Correction officials told the New York Post the universal key was quickly confiscated and Remy Ma's betrothed, a rapper named Papoose, was ejected from the Riker's Island correctional facility.

The Post said the wedding was canceled.

Remy Ma, whose real name is Remy Smith, was sentenced Tuesday to eight years in prison for felony assault. She shot a former friend in the stomach during a dispute over money.

Smith burst into tears after hearing the sentence, E! Online said.

Papoose caused a scene as he screamed at the victim, who took the stand earlier in the hearing and pleaded for a tough sentence

"Get the f-- off me. F-- y'all. F-- jail," E! Online said Papoose yelled as bailiffs escorted him out of the Manhattan court. "I don't care. Lock me up. Lock me up. Take me to jail. Arrest me. It's all about money."
