Remy Ma Writes Letter from Prison

Written by on July 16, 2009

Locked up Hip-Hop artist Remy Ma got a letter out to the public recently that is getting a little attention here and there.

Remy was inspired to write by the media coverage of Michael Jackson’s death.

“In less than 5 minutes I was crying (yes crying) and (her husband) Pap was totally pissed because usually when people pass everybody talks about the good things in their lives and it seemed like all they were talking about was negativity.”

Remy goes on to take the opportunity to incorporate her own experiences with the media.

“I used to be one of those people that watched the news and bought the newspaper everyday and believed that everything that I was seeing and reading was true; up until the point where I ended up in their reports in a negative light,” she wrote. “Now I only read the papers for the horoscopes and the comics and I only watch the news for the lottery numbers. They couldn’t even get my name or age right, more less the color of my vehicle that was right behind them parked in front of the precinct. Many reporters get their information at 4th, 3rd, 2nd hand at best. They’re at liberty to word a headline however they see fit in order to sell the highest number of papers but rarely do they take a moment to stop and think that this is someone’s life that they’re tampering with, someone with a family, someone that might have children.”
