Rapper Remy Ma’s son arrested for 2021 murder

According to sources, Smith’s son Jayson Scott, 23, and another man have each been charged with first-degree murder. The pair have also allegedly been charged with two counts of weapons possession and reckless endangerment. The charges are reportedly in connection with a June 7, 2021 murder of 47-year-old Darius Guillebeaux in Queens. Investigators are looking into the possibility that it was a murder for hire. An arraignment is expected to take place Wednesday inside a Queens County courthouse. Jason, also known as “Jace Smith” appeared in several episodes of Love & Hip: New York with his mother.

Who is Remy Ma?

Remy Ma, a Bronx native, made her start as an MC with the group Terror Squad in 1998, which consisted of rappers Fat Joe, Big Pun, Cuban Link, Prospect, Armageddon, and Triple Seis. Her most notable songs include “Whuteva”, “Ante Up (Remix)”, “Lean Back”, “Conceited”, and “All the Way Up”. Smith who received a Grammy nod for Terror Squad’s 2004 hit “Lean Back,” served six years in prison after being convicted of shooting an acquaintance outside a Manhattan nightclub in 2007.

They were celebrating a birthday with friends in Manhattan’s trendy meatpacking district when Ma accused the other woman of stealing money from her pocketbook. She was found guilty on assault, weapons, and attempted coercion charges. While incarcerated, she released several mixtapes that garnered even more name-recognition. After six years in prison, Smith was released from prison.

Remy Ma and Papoose

Remy Ma’s longtime partner and husband Papoose, known as Shamele Mackie, who is also a well-known rapper, got married in 2008. They reportedly exchanged vows over the phone while she was incarcerated. The two have starred in several shows together, including Love & Hip Hop: New York and Remy & Papoose: Meet the Mackie. Most recently, Remy Ma appeared on Good Day alongside battle rap superstar, Eazy The Block Captain, to discuss her all-female rap battle league, Chrome 23.

In 2019, Smith turned herself in to face accusations of punching “Love & Hip Hop New York” cast member Brittney Taylor in the face. Manhattan prosecutors dropped their case against the rapper, citing conflicting evidence and witness accounts that they said made the case too difficult to prove. The rapper’s lawyer denied the allegations and said her client was home with her daughter at the time of the alleged attack.
