- The case has raised questions about the alleged involvement of both Scott and Swygert, and the outcome will have a significant impact on the lives of everyone involved.
The 44-year-old born Remy Ma is a multi-Grammy Award-nominated rapper and someone who has been unequivocal in her support for Jayson Scott, her son who was involved in the murder that took place in Queens, New York in 2021.
Mrs. Ma made her first statement on the matter, telling a local news station thus revealing her position that her son was innocent.
“We are certain of Jayson's innocence and pray that the NYPD conducts a thorough investigation so that the truth is revealed,” he said. “Without a doubt, this is the most difficult period for me and for my whole family,” Remy said.
Determined to announce her support for her offspring, Ma cannot withdraw her no matter how serious the charges. The rapper weighed in on the issue of the performance during an Instagram Live session. She expressed fiercely:
“I'll put all three of them on my list when I catch them. They won't have to do anything but be brave themselves. I'll go all out on them and they'll know that's the case anyway.”
Scott, 23, is charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment. He, aside from other arrests, was also arrested along with Richard Swygert, 22, in connection with the fatal shooting of Darius Guillebeaux, 47, who was killed on June 7, 2021, in Springfield Gardens.
Swygert, already locked up at Rikers Island for two murders, who is charged with up to three or more murders, respectively in an eight-month period, is also charged in Guillebeaux's death. As if that's not enough, the situation got more complicated when the new charge was lifted from him.
The other side of Reminisce Kioni Mackie, who is also known as Ma to most, Ma's real name is that she encountered many legal fights before. Aside from serving time for a shooting that took place outside a Manhattan club, Ms. Ma also had outside consulting work.

Despite some of her past, Ma trains her energies on her family and stands by her son who is going through difficult times in his life. “I'm his mother so I want to intervene in this situation on my own, but his lawyer has strongly advised me not to say a word,” Ma revealed, drawing attention to the fact that she is heavily guarded by privacy, amid her son's legal team trying hard to portray herself as an innocent person.
The support of the mother to her child has been duly noted. The scene with her and her choice to stand by him instead of walking away and not arguing was noticed by her fans and all the followers who thanked her for her openness. In any case, the case is still pending and the case is real that the accused is expected to hear in the court of Queens County.
From the evolution of the legal process, Ma's message comes across as crystal clear: she believes in her son's innocence and will continue to support him regardless of the trials they face. The situation has highlighted claims that Scott and Swygert have been mentored or pressured into the alleged charges. The decision and consequences are likely to affect the lives of all stakeholders for a long period.
