Rapper Remy Ma’s son, Jayson Scott, was arrested for the June 2021 murder of a man in Queens. Scott, 23, has been charged with first-degree murder for allegedly shooting 47-year-old Darius Guillebeaux following a dispute on June 7, 2021. Richard Swygert, 22, was also charged in the same murder.
Guillebeaux was found with multiple gunshot wounds to the head and chest and was pronounced dead after being taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. Interestingly, Guillebeaux had been indicted by the New York attorney general just eight months before the shooting as part of a large-scale drug operation called “Operation Heat Wave,” which resulted in the arrests of 54 people.
Remy Ma, whose real name is Reminisce Kioni Mackie, was discovered by the legendary rapper Big Pun and later signed by Fat Joe. She performed as part of Fat Joe’s group, Terror Squad, and released the solo album “There’s Something About Remy” in 2006. She has been nominated for four Grammys and won two BET Awards for best female hip-hop artist in 2005 and 2017. Remy Ma has also appeared in several television shows, including multiple iterations of the popular VH1 reality show “Love & Hip Hop” .
