Remy Ma pleads innocent to shooting pal

NEW YORK, July 16 (UPI) -- New York rapper Remy Ma pleaded innocent to attempted murder, first-degree assault and weapons charges in the shooting of a close friend.

Ma, 26, who surrendered to police Saturday, was released Sunday from Rikers Island after her manager put up his home as collateral to satisfy a $250,000 bond, the New York Daily News reported Monday.

Remy Ma, whose real name is Remy Smith, allegedly shot Makeda Barnes-Joseph, 23, twice in the abdomen early Saturday morning in Manhattan because she suspected the younger woman snatched about $3,000 out of her purse during a birthday party.

"All I heard was the gun go off," Barnes-Joseph told the Daily News from her bed at St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan. "I couldn't believe she shot me!"

Barnes-Joseph was listed in stable condition Sunday.

"What hurts me is that when she shot me she went over and dumped (my) bag," she said. "She didn't even say, 'Oh, my God, I just shot her.' That's what hurt me so much."
