Remy Ma's Appeal Going Well

Rapper REMY MA is moving closer to walking free from New York's notorious Riker's Island prison after receiving positive news regarding her latest appeal for freedom.

The hip-hop star was jailed for eight years in May 2008 after she was found guilty of shooting Makeda Barnes Joseph in the abdomen during an altercation in July 2007.

Remy Ma, who maintained her innocence throughout the ordeal, was charged with assault, weapons possession and attempted coercion.

Her first appeal fell through last year (09), but a second is giving the hip-hop star a little hope.

Her husband, fellow rapper Papoose, reveals progress is being made in the case and he's eager for Remy's release, so they can live together as a married couple.

He says, "I can't speak about it in detail due to legal reasons, but we recently got some great news concerning her second appeal. Let's just say that she's blessed. I highly doubt that she will have to serve the full time.

"If justice is served, then she will come home now. My plan is to see her walk out of that hellhole and get a breath of fresh air, so we can enjoy life."

Remy Ma married Papoose in 2008, shortly after she was convicted.
