Remy Ma's Getting Hitched on Rikers

0804remybride.jpgRemy Ma, who is possibly more famous now for what landed her in jail than for her music, is still managing to make headlines from behind bars. A little first-degree assault and weapons charges aren't going to stand in the way of her dream wedding, to be held later this month on a little island off the coast of the Bronx.

She and her beau, Brooklyn rapper Papoose, plan to get married on Rikers as she waits for the gavel to drop at her April 23rd sentencing. The couple could very well be celebrating their first 25 anniversaries with Remy still doing time. Is it unlikely there will ever be an offspring of the two rappers? While Rikers has no conjugal-visits, The Post notes that facilities like Bedford Hills Prison allow them after a 7-month waiting period.

The ceremony, of which there are about 200 a year at the facility, will be intimate -- only two guests are permitted. And don't expect any matrimonial bling, neither bride nor groom are allowed to wear rings with protruding gems.

Um... Jen...

There are no conjugal visits at Rikers because Rikers is a holding facility. People do not do 25-year bids at Rikers. Rikers is for short-term bids or holding during trial.

Remy Ma will be going Downstate with all the other murderers, so she can still get fucked stupid, if she is so inclined.

 

I can't believe we put people (and cultural output) like this up on a fucking pedestal. This bitch will be a best seller now that's she's looking at a real bid upstate.

 

don't hate. she's keepin' it real

 

look at dem guns. she a man with boobs.

 

What the hell is Papoose thinking?

 

It does look like she has been over doing it with the steroids from that pic.

 

"The couple is registered at Smith & Wesson..."

 

Think they'll get her to play Roxie Hart in 'Chicago' when she gets out? Starring roles on Broadway have certainly been given out for less compelling reasons.

 

holy crap look at her arms!

 

i wonder where the honeymoon will be? the conjugal visit trailer?
