Inappropriate Bridal Gift Results In Hasty Cancellation Of Papoose-Remy Ma Nuptials

Yesterday was supposed to be a beautiful day for Remy Ma, despite her current incarceration in New York’s Rikers Island; she was set to be married to her boyfriend, Papoose, in a ceremony that would serve as a prelude for today’s sentencing for a shooting incident outside the now-shuttered nightclub Pizza Bar and allow Papoose to come by for conjugal visits while she was in the pokey. (Um, no pun intended) But thanks to Papoose taking the “brides need to have something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” maxim to heights that may have been inappropriate for the wedding’s jailhouse setting–i.e. attempting to slip Remy a universal handcuff key before the nuptials began–the wedding was over before anyone could walk down the aisle.

The contraband was quickly confiscated by eagle-eyed guards, according to city correction officials. Papoose was kicked off the island without ever seeing the woman to whose cuffs he once held the key.

The wedding was kaput.

“Get out of my face,” Papoose snarled at a reporter yesterday as he returned to his Cadillac SUV in the jail’s parking lot.

“I don’t want to talk,” said the still-single “Mix Tape King,” who had worn his Sunday-best Yankee cap for the occasion.

“You all write racist articles.”

Not to defend Papoose’s contraband, but the phrase “Sunday-best Yankee cap” would seem to back up his statement. Anyway, Remy is expected to be all contrite at this morning’s sentencing, but given that she was on Hot 97 last week bragging about how she makes more money than the jail guards, I suspect that the judge will see it as something of an act and that she’ll be in the pen for at least a few years.
