Criminal Background Check

Remy Ma Arrest Records

Formally christened as Reminisce Smith but popularly known to the world as Remy Ma, Remy grew up in South Bronx surrounded by drugs. Though her environment was no serene and she did not have a great childhood experience nurturing her siblings, she found her passion in writing and performing rhymes and poems in a rather unique way that captivated many individuals-they found her talent to be special and attractive being given her young age.

She is one of the best female rappers who governed the United States with her enthralling rapping lyrics, her style of performance and good enough to become a versatile hip-hop entertainer across the country.

 Good luck sided upon her during teenage years as she was discovered by Big Pun, a successful rapper, who extended an invitation to join the rap group ‘Terror Squad’ after hearing her compositions. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that this was a major breakthrough in Remy’s career as she was the only female member of the group and her first performance led to several others.

Career Highlights

Remy Ma’s first album ‘Yeeeah Baby’ was released in 2000 sadly after the death of her mentor, Big Pun but this did not deter her in any way. She catapulted to fame in the rap industry with her different lyrical and rapping style. She made a breakthrough in 2004 with ‘Lean Back’, which went on for Grammy nominations in the category of Best Rap Performance by a Team.

But it was in 2006 that she got her real first breakthrough as an individual with her solo performance in ‘There’s Something About Remy: Based on a True Story’. Two of her songs, ‘Whatever’ and ‘Conceited’ garnered raving applauses from the public. Conceited even appeared in the R&B Top 10 list occupying the No.2 spot.

She is acclaimed for singles such as ‘All the Way Up’ and ‘Shether’ and even won awards such as the ‘BET Award for the Best Female Hip-Hop Artist.’ She even appears in the small screen sometimes playing minor roles too and is the proud owner of a clothing line benefitting women who were incarcerated just like her.

Career Downfalls

Just when Remy Ma was at her career peak during the mid-2000s she started facing downfalls due to her own mistakes being charged with a crime and was jailed. The period between 2008 and 2014 was a blank phase in Remy’s career life but she did indeed marry her husband Papoose during that time.

She reclaimed her fame once again in 2014 collaborating with famous musical personalities and releasing her solo albums as well. Some famous ones include singles such as ‘They Don’t Love You Anymore,’ ‘I’m Around’ and others that included artists such as Jay-Z.

Later, in 2017 she released her first single ‘Wake Me Up’ from her only then, a second solo album and yet another second single ‘Melanin Magic’ from the same album that mesmerized the audience.


Crime Records

It was in 2007 that Remy Ma started accumulating her crime record files-all of this commenced with robbery but was sent to jail convicted for assault, weapon possession, and witness tampering. Though she bounced back into form in 2014 with some major releases she turned herself into the police department in 2019 once again.

This time, it was for punching the famous ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ actress Brittney Taylor in her face. This happened in the middle of the performance during a benefit concert in New York City.
