US rapper Papoose has slammed reports which claimed he had tried to smuggle a handcuff key into prison during a visit to see his fiancée, Remy Ma.
Speaking to MTV, the rapper said the reports, which emerged shortly before Remy Ma was jailed for eight years on Tuesday (May 13th), were “ridiculous”.
"Ever since she's been incarcerated, I've been going to visit her consistently. I've always had my key chain that has the key to my truck, my crib.
“Everything that was on my key chain was always there [during my visits]. The [corrections officers have] always seen my key chain,” he said.
As previously reported, Remy Ma, whose real name is Remy Smith, was sentenced to eight years in prison for shooting a woman outside a club in New York.
During sentencing, Judge Rena Uviller told Smith that she was "an extremely angry young woman whose anger is completely out of control."
As her sentence was handed down, Smith became emotional and pleaded that she had grown up "surrounded by poverty and drugs and violence and failure."
