Rapper Remy Ma, who allegedly shot a female pal in the stomach Saturday was accused four years ago of pointing a loaded gun at a Bronx man’s head and firing off a shot that missed, authorities said Monday.
Details of the 2003 gunplay – in addition to arrests in 1996 and 1998 – emerged as she was arraigned in Manhattan.
She’s been charged with attempted murder, assault and weapons possession in the shooting of Makeda Barnes-Joseph over the weekend. Ma, 27, posted $250,000 bail and was sprung from Rikers Island at around 11 p.m. on Monday (July 16).
Sources said that on Feb. 2, 2003, Ma, whose real name is Remy Smith, put a gun to the head of Alvin Lewis, 36, in the Randall Avenue building where she lived at the time, then pulled the trigger – but somehow missed the helpless victim.
A spokesman for the Bronx district attorney said Ma pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault in exchange for a conditional discharge in the case.
The victim remained in stable condition at St. Vincent’s Hospital.
Barnes-Joseph had been a frequent baby sitter of Ma’s young son, dad Boris Barnes said.
