The shooting victim in the case that sent Remy Ma to prison has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the rapper, Universal Music Group, Sure Shot Recordings, and The Pizza Bar - New York City nightspot where Makeda Barnes-Joseph and the entertainer were partying before the incident.<--more-->
According to XXLmag.com, the suit claims UMG and Sure Shot created and marketed an image for Remy Ma that promotes her as “anti-social, violent, physically aggressive and intimidating, anti-authoritarian, confrontational, disrespectful and at times, being engaged in criminal and illegal conduct without regard to the consequences thereof to said personae and to the general public and specifically, to [Barnes-Joseph].â€
Barnes-Joseph's suit alleges employees of The Pizza Bar served alcoholic beverages to Remy Ma although she was “visibly intoxicated†and contributed to the rappers violent behavior.
Barnes-Joseph is seeking up to $10 million for pain and suffering.***CORRECTION:
New reports say that Barnes-Joseph is, in fact, seeking $160 million in compensation, of which $100 million is charged to Remy Ma, individually.
