Less than 24 hours after the shooting of 23-year-old Makeda Barnes-Joseph, rapper Remy Ma turned herself over to authorities and has officially been charged with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Remy’s manager directed all calls to her attorney as she wasn’t allowed to receive them herself. “I ask everyone to keep an open mind … Things are not always as they seem,” attorney Scott Leemon said. Remy Ma was set to release her new album in August, entitled The BX Files. [UPDATE] Remy Ma has entered a not guilty plea and is being held at Rikers Island on $250,000 bail. Scott Leemon, Remy's attorney, has said that the judge has approved the bond and she should be released within the next few hours. Remy Ma is due back in court on August 14.
