Papoose and Remy Ma
Jailed rapper Remy Ma was set to tie the knot Monday at New York’s Rikers Island correctional facility, but the wedding was abruptly canceled. Here’s the scoop:

Remy Ma’s jailhouse nuptials were abruptly called off Monday when her rapper groom, Papoose, showed up with a most curious wedding present: a handcuff key.

“A wedding was scheduled today and a visitor to that wedding service was found to be in possession of jail contraband so the wedding was canceled,” a correction official told the Daily News.

“The key that was found today easily opened handcuffs that we and other law enforcement officials use,” the official said.

Now the 29-year-old Brooklyn-born Papoose - real name Shamele Mackie - won’t be able to see his fiancée until November.

The 26-year-old Terror Squad rap princess faces up to 25 years at today’s sentencing for shooting her friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph in the stomach last July outside a Meatpacking District club.

Update: A judge has just sentenced Remy Ma to eight years in prison for shooting her friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph outside a NYC nightclub. She had faced up to 25 years.

T.I.
Snitch rapper T.I. recently sat down with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for his first interview since he entered guilty pleas to three federal weapons charges.

The hip-hop star mentioned that he’ll be dropping a brand new single within the next two weeks, among other things. Check out the interview:

Q. Who is T.I. — or Clifford Harris, Jr., now?
A. It’s hard to say because a lot of things are the same and a lot of things have changed. I still have a huge amount of passion for what I do. I still have a huge amount of passion for doing what I can for the community. I still have my foundation — remembering where I came from and principles that have been instilled in me. But at the same time I also have an acknowledgement of things that need to be left behind, let go. And also an acknowledgment that there has to be an about-face. A 180-degree turn, in order for us to continue on the path to success.

Michael Vick
Former Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick is back on the football field, but his salary isn’t what it used to be.

According to the New York Daily News, the jailed NFL player has been playing football with his fellow inmates at the United States Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas.

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who has been communicating by letter with the athlete, says he is playing quarterback for both sides in cell-block pick-up games.

Blank told the Daily News: “He is staying in shape. Apparently, there was a prison football team and he played quarterback for both sides.”

The Falcons boss also says Vick is washing pots and pans for 12 cents an hour.

Blank said: “I just try to be supportive and as understanding as I can be.

“He talks about the process he is going through and what he has learned, the lessons of life, how he’s going to come out a different person. He’s sorry he has affected so many people in a negative way — the league, our club, our fans. He feels awful about that. The letters sound quite sincere to me. From a mental standpoint, he sounds good.”
