Remy Ma is days away from complete freedom, and her supporters couldn’t be happier.

The “Terror Squad” rap diva announced on Sunday, July 28, she was three days away from getting off of parole after five years and took to Instagram with a series of photos to celebrate. One image showed Remy sitting on the front stoop of her home with her ankle bracelet on, and in another she was twirling her hair.

“3 Days and a Wake UpšŸ’…šŸ¾ #RemyMa #OffParole,” she said in her caption.

The “Feels So Good” rapper received an endless amount of support from fans who also celebrated her upcoming release from parole.

“Rem about to be a free woman for good out here. Thank god. Farewell ankle bracelet šŸ’Æ .”

“Itā€™s the last dayyyyy !!!!! Whoop Whoop! šŸ‘šŸ½ you made it to the finish line queen!”

“I’m so glad she bout to be off parole @remyma youā€™ve been rocking the hell out of that ankle monitor tho with all the latest fashions Iā€™m glad to see it go though šŸ˜‚šŸ’Æ.”

“CONGRATS RemšŸ’• no more feds! Almost there! You’ve got this sis!!! šŸ™ŒšŸæ.”

The 38-year-old mother of two’s parole sentence is slated to end on August 1.

In 2014, Remy was released from prison after serving six years behind bars in connection to a 2007 shooting. She was convicted of shooting a longtime friend in a beef over money.

Since getting out from behind bars, the “Conceited” rapper has been making major moves in the music industry and scored a top-charting record with her song “All the Way Up” in 2016, just two years after her release. She also welcomed infant daughter Reminisce Mackenzie Mackie with her husband Papoose Mackie in December 2018.

As for her physical assault case filed by Taylor, Remy maintains her innocence. She was accused of sucker-punching the ā€œLHHNYā€ co-star in the eye during the Pretty Lou Benefit Concert at Irving Plaza in April. If a court finds she did indeed assault Taylor and was in violation of her parole, she could be facing additional time behind bars.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
