No Conflict Free European Yaki For Remy

A judge has denied a request by Remy Ma, accused of shooting an acquaintance in July over missing money, to travel to Europe for a five-country concert tour.

Ivan Fisher, lawyer for the 26-year-old rapper, told the judge his client, whose real name is Remy Smith, needs the tour to earn money. Since her arrest, Fisher said, Smith has been unable to get sufficient U.S. bookings, and a proposed recording contract has been put on hold.

Fisher told the judge the tour, which was to begin in Paris on Dec. 31, would net Smith up to $40,000, "which she very much needs."

Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Rena Uviller said Thursday she wouldn't allow Smith to leave the U.S. because of the serious charges facing her. [source]
