Remy Ma Being Sued For Millions By Shooting Victim

The rapper Remy Ma is being sued for $20 million dollars by the woman she reportedly shot twice in the abdomen over money. Remy Ma had accused the woman of stealing $2,000 from her purse. The woman was hospitalized for more than two weeks after the shooting and had to have surgery and receive blood transfusions. She says that she will have to continue to need medical treatments. She says that the shooting made her disabled, anxious, and depressed.

The lawsuit is also against Universal Music Group and people who play an important part of Remy Ma’s career because she feels that they should have known the rapper had a history of unlawful, violent, and anti-social behavior and she also feels that they encouraged her to behave with patterns of harassment, threats, intimidation, physical violence, and doing illegal acts. Since the arrest, Remy Ma hasn’t been able to get enough U.S. bookings and a proposed recording contract was put on hold. She is currently free on a $250,000 bail.
