( CM ) - Hip-hop star Remy Ma is planning to marry rapper Papoose while in a New York jail.

The Grammy-nominated star is currently awaiting sentencing in Rikers Island prison for shooting a woman.

Her lawyer Ivan Fisher told Reuters: "They're very committed to each other, and had intended to marry one way or another."

Only two guests will be allowed at the ceremony in the prison, which conducts 200 weddings a year.

Remy Ma, real name Remy Smith, faces a sentence of up to 25 years after she was found guilty of shooting a friend outside a nightclub in July 2007.

The court was told Ms Smith thought the woman, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, had stolen $3,000 (?1,495) from her.

Her defence team said the shooting was an accident.

Brooklyn rapper Papoose, whose real name is Shamele Mackie, was named as one of ten artists to watch in 2006 by music magazine Rolling Stone.
