Although this news may be hard to believe coming from the rap community, Grammy-nominated rapper Remy Ma pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other counts Sunday in the shooting of a woman in a Manhattan neighborhood known for its restaurants and bars called the Meatpacking District. (No, it is not a gay community)

Police found a woman with a gunshot wound to her lower torso early Saturday morning, as weekend crowds began to clear out. Three blocks away, officers discovered a luxury SUV owned by Remy Ma, whose real name is Remy Smith. The vehicle was involved in a single-car crash and abandoned, police said.

The victim who apparently knew Remy Ma, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, 23, was hospitalized in stable condition Sunday.
