Remy Ma being taken out of the police precinct after being charged early Saturday morning.
Hot-tempered rapper Remy Ma shot one of her best friends over missing cash and then searched the bleeding woman's purse instead of calling 911, the victim told the Daily News.
"All I heard was the gun go off," a sobbing Makeda Barnes-Joseph, 23, said from her hospital bed at St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan. "I couldn't believe she shot me!"
Barnes-Joseph was in stable condition yesterday after Remy Ma allegedly climbed into the Bronx woman's car, accused her of stealing about $3,000 and blasted her twice.
"What hurts me is that when she shot me she went over and dumped the bag," the woman said of the shooting early Saturday in the Meatpacking District. "She didn't even say, 'Oh, my God, I just shot her.' That's what hurt me so much."
Remy Ma, 26, whose real name is Remy Smith, pleaded not guilty yesterday to attempted murder, first-degree assault and weapons charges. The former leading lady of Fat Joe's Terror Squad turned herself in Saturday. She was released yesterday from Rikers Island after her manager put up his home as collateral to satisfy a $250,000 bond.
As she walked toward a waiting Cadillac Escalade about 10:45 p.m., she warned photographers out of her way with an expletive-laced attack. Then she spit out a wad of gum.
The manager, who identified himself as Big Joe of New Era Management, defended the Bronx bad girl. "I don't see her as the kind of person who would shoot someone," he said. "Remy doesn't carry a gun."
The manager speculated the victim was after a quick payday. "We have a criminal investigation that will soon turn into a lawsuit for millions of dollars," he said.
The rapper joined Barnes-Joseph and as many as 40 other friends at a birthday party filled with dancing, expensive drinks and thin-crust pizzas at the upscale Pizza Bar on Ninth Ave. near W. 14th St., cops said.
Barnes-Joseph briefly held Remy Ma's purse and then handed it back to her. Both women left the bar about 3:40 a.m. - Remy Ma getting into her Cadillac Escalade with three men and Barnes-Joseph getting into her Nissan Maxima, cops said.
Remy Ma, apparently noticing cash missing from her purse, got out of the SUV and climbed into the passenger seat of the Maxima, the victim said.
"Dump the bag!" the rapper demanded, before snatching Barnes-Joseph's purse and shaking it until most of its contents were strewn about the car, she recalled.
"Wait a second," Barnes-Joseph pleaded.
The irate rapper whipped out a gun and shot her twice in the midsection at W. 14th St. and Washington St., cops said.
"This is a premeditated action," said Boris Barnes, the victim's dad, adding that Remy Ma was jealous of his daughter's looks. "She meant to kill my daughter."
After the shooting, Remy Ma rummaged through the victim's purse while Barnes-Joseph slumped over, Boris Barnes said. The rapper then jumped into her blue Escalade, which crashed into a vehicle a few blocks later, cops said.
Barnes-Joseph said she had been a close friend of Remy Ma's for more than a decade.
"The fact she would think I would steal from her," said Barnes-Joseph, "it hurts me because I thought she was a friend of mine
