Remy Ma was released from Rikers Island on a $250,000 bond yesterday (July 15) after turning herself into authorities on Saturday evening (July 14) in connection with the shooting of a woman in New York City's meatpacking district.
Authorities believe Remy (real name Remy Smith) fired two bullets into the torso of 23-year-old Makeda Barnes-Joseph after the two left Manhattan's Pizza Bar early Saturday morning (July 14).
Barnes-Joseph, who claims to be one of Remy Ma's closest friends, told New York's Daily News that the rapper accused her of stealing about $3,000 from her purse before allegedly shooting her.
Barnes-Joseph reportedly held Remy's purse briefly while they partied at the Pizza Bar.
"All I heard was the gun go off," she said from her bed at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan. "I couldn't believe she shot me!"
"What hurts me is that when she shot me she went over and dumped the bag," Barnes-Joseph continued. " She didn't even say, 'Oh, my God, I just shot her.'"
Remy, who was charged with attempted murder, first-degree assault and weapons possession, plead not guilty to the charges at her arraignment yesterday.
Remy's manager, Big Joe of New Era Management, speculates that Barnes-Joseph was after a quick payday
"I don't see [Remy] as the kind of person who would shoot someone. Remy doesn't carry a gun," he said. " We have a criminal investigation that will soon turn into a lawsuit for millions of dollars."
