Authorities have charged rapper Remy Ma’s 23-year-old son, Jayson Scott, with first-degree murder for the 2021 fatal shooting of Darius Guillebeaux in Queens. Scott and Richard Swygert were arrested on Tuesday night. The police are still investigating the motive behind the shooting, initially believed to be due to a dispute. Authorities have held Scott in custody since May 9 on separate gun charges and set his bail at $500,000.

50 Cent’s Warning to BMF Co-Founder
50 Cent recently issued a harsh message to Southwest T, co-founder of the Black Mafia Family (BMF), after he met with Kenneth McGriff Jr.. He is the son of a man who allegedly tried to kill 50 Cent. 50 Cent criticized T’s actions and hinted at repercussions for the BMF television series, which he executive produced. The series portrays the drug trafficking and money laundering operations of Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory in the 1980s. The tension highlights 50 Cent’s disdain for the McGriff family and his involvement in the BMF series.
