Bronx rapper Remy Ma, real name Remy Smith, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for shooting longtime pal Makeda Barnes-Joseph in the stomach outside of a New York City hotspot.

The 26-year old rapper was facing up to 25 years behind bars for assault, weapons possession, and coercion.

According to the Associated Press, Smith was teary-eyed as she heard the sentence. She says the shooting last summer was an accident; an appeal is planned.   

After the sentencing, Smith's fiancee, Brooklyn rapper Papoose, lashed out against Joseph screaming "All you want is money!" in a hallway outside the court room.

"Lock me up! Lock me up!" he then shouted to court officers, who escorted him out of the courthouse.  

Papoose was sanctioned by Rikers Island officials yesterday after he attempted to give Remy a skeleton key capable of opening handcuffs.

He was banned from visiting Remy for six months.

Remy Ma's lawyer, Ivan Fisher, denies that the key could be used to unlock handcuffs and says the two still plan to wed after the bride-to-be's transfer to an upstate prison.
