Remy Ma was released from prison on August 1, 2014, after serving about six years of her eight‑year sentence for assault.

Quick Scoop: Remy Ma’s Prison Release

  • Official release date: August 1, 2014.
  • Original sentence: Eight years, starting in 2008, for assault related to a 2007 shooting incident.
  • Time actually served: Around six years before release.

There was some brief confusion because reports first said she’d be released on July 31, 2014, but that date was delayed due to a disciplinary issue involving prison phone rules. The next day, the hold was cleared and she was released.

What Happened Around Her Release?

  • On July 31, 2014, several outlets reported she was supposed to walk out that morning, but officials postponed it over a “third party calling” violation (a phone rule issue).
  • By August 1, 2014, inmate records listed her as “released,” and her team confirmed she was out.
  • Her husband Papoose shared an emotional celebratory message on social media when she finally left Bedford Hills Correctional Facility.

After She Got Out

  • Soon after her release, she began doing interviews about life behind bars and re-adjusting to the industry and to social media, which had exploded while she was gone.
  • Within her first year of freedom, she was already talking publicly about how the experience changed her and how she was rebuilding her career.
