On Wednesday afternoon, a representative for Remy Ma, also known as Reminisce Smith, issued the following statement.
“As many have heard, Remy Ma’s son, Jayson Jace Scott was recently arrested and very serious unfounded allegations have been made. Remy Ma wished to address this situation personally, but has been strongly advised by our office not to say anything publicly – as most people in this situation are, as the case is still active.
To be clear, Jayson Scott is innocent and Remy Ma is committed to proving his innocence and fully supporting her child during this time.”
The statement continued,
“We stand by Jayson’s innocence and hope the NYPD will conduct a complete and thorough investigation to reveal the truth. This has undoubtedly been a trying time for Remy Ma and her family.
While she sincerely appreciates the love and support she has received, we kindly ask that her privacy be respected as their legal team works to prove Jayson’s innocence.”
Jayson Jace Scott’s mother, Remy Ma‘s journey to fame began in 1998 when she joined the Terror Squad rap group alongside well-known artists such as Fat Joe and Big Pun.
However, she has also had her own share of legal issues. In 2007, she was convicted of assault, weapons possession, and attempted coercion for a shooting in New York and spent six years in prison.
