Jayson Scott, son of rapper Remy Ma, was recently arrested on June 18, 2024. Scott has been accused of second-degree murder, weapon possession, and reckless endangerment. Apart from Jayson, Remy Ma shares a child named Reminisce Mackenzie with her husband, Papoose.
The charges imposed on Jayson were linked to a shooting incident that happened at 148th Street and Rockaway Boulevard in Springfield Gardens, Queens, in 2021. It led to the death of an individual named Darius Guillebeaux, who was 47 years old.
Another man named Richard Swygert was also arrested on similar charges. Both accused were reportedly offered contracts for the murder of Darius.
Darius was reportedly shot in the head and chest by two men. While he was immediately transported to the hospital, Guillebeaux succumbed to the injuries. Darius was allegedly involved in criminal activities and had previously served time in prison after being charged with robbery and selling drugs.
Remy Ma has two biological kids and three stepchildren
Also known as Reminisce Kioni Mackie, the rapper has been active since 2000 and released her debut studio album, There's Something About Remy: Based on a True Story, in 2006. The New York City native has raised two children: Jayson Scott and Reminisce.
Remy Ma is also stepmother to Papoose's three kids from previous relationships: Dejanae and Shamele Mackie—with his ex-girlfriend Yvetta Lashley—and a daughter, Destiny.
Remy Ma once told Oprah Daily in 2018 that Jayson was born when she was in her 20s. Although there are no details available about Scott's father, Jayson has a daughter named Milani Amora Scott with his girlfriend, Diamond.
However, Remy was missing from the baby shower, leading to rumors that she might not have approved of her son's relationship with Diamond. On the other hand, Diamond denied the claims through an Instagram post and wrote:
"His mother didn't show up and it's not the end of the world not is it hate towards her. We gonna continue to stand tall and be the best parents to our child."
As mentioned, Remy Ma has another child with her husband, Papoose. The duo met through a common friend, DJ Kay Slay, and did not reveal much about their relationship to anyone for a long time. They reportedly got engaged in 2008, when the Wild 'N Out star was facing trial for the shooting incident that happened near a nightclub in Manhattan.
The duo tied the knot in 2015, and although they suffered a miscarriage in 2016, the couple became the parents of a daughter named Reminisce Mackenzie in 2018. Reminisce has frequently appeared on the social media posts shared by her mother.
