Grammy-nominated rapper Remy Ma was led out of a Manhattan courtroom Thursday, weeping and in handcuffs, after being convicted of shooting a woman outside a nightclub last summer.
The defense had conceded that Remy Ma, whose real name is Remy Smith, fired a shot toward a friend she suspected of stealing $3,000, but said it was an accident.
Smith, 26, faces up to 25 years in prison following her conviction in state Supreme Court for assault, weapon possession and attempted coercion.
She quietly wiped away tears as the verdict was read, then wailed loudly and sobbed openly after she was outside the courtroom. Many of her supporters also cried.
Justice Rena Uviller ordered Smith jailed without bail while awaiting her April 23 sentencing.

What a shame this is! I really like Remy Ma and her style and I can’t believe she got herself in this much trouble. I feel bad for her because her career is basically over if she get 25 years. What she did was wrong and she deserves punishment for it I just can’t believe she will or should I say is in jail. The entertainment industry will have people bugging out over crazy stuff. If the girl did take her money it should have been handled much differently than with a gun. That is a big NO! I know she wishes she could turn back the hands of time, don’t we all wish that when we do something awful. To bad we weren’t blessed with that power! 
Hope she stays strong in jail because it couldn’t be me!
