      *Not that it wasn't expected, but Remy Ma got some bad news today. She has been sentenced to eight years in prison in the shooting a woman outside a Manhattan nightclub.

      The 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Remy Smith, received her sentence for assault, weapon possession and attempted coercion.

      Remy Ma, who could have faced up to 25 years in prison, was teary-eyed as she heard the sentence. She claims last summer's shooting was an accident; an appeal is planned.

      In other Remy Ma news, or should we say other bad news for Remy, correction officials say they called off her weekend wedding at the Rikers Island jail after the groom - fellow rapper Papoose - showed up with a handcuff key.

      According to the AP, Remy Ma's lawyer, Ivan Fisher, denies the key could be used to unlock handcuffs. Fisher says the two still plan to wed.
