Remy Ma Celebrated With Street Sign On Bronx Walk Of Fame
Remy Ma is arguably one of the greatest rappers to ever come out of The Bronx, and now, she’s being recognized by her hometown borough.
Taking to her Instagram account on Saturday (May 14), Remy shared a video of the unveiling of a new street sign in her honor, located along the Bronx Walk of Fame, an area designated for celebrating notable Bronx natives. Established in 1997, the Bronx Walk of Fame celebration is part of a full week of festivities highlighting the various cultures represented in the borough. Remy was joined by Actor/Producer Luis Antonio Ramos and Director Eif Rivera as the other two Bronx Walk of Fame 2022 inductees.
“Today I was given my own street sign in The Bronx! I’ve come so far from the girl that used to take the 6 train and ride the BX22 bus,” she captioned the post. “I’ve had to go to court across the street from where that sign is, I’ve lived in a shelter down the block from where that sign is, I’ve went to high school a few lights up from where that sign is; I debuted one of the biggest songs of my career is the stadium behind where that sign is… I appreciate & am so thankful for where I am, I wouldn’t change a thing about where I’ve come from, and I’m excited to see where I’m going.”
Remy, who was joined by her family and fellow Bronx rapper, Fat Joe also thanked recently appointed Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson and Deputy Borough President Janet Peguero in her post.
“Thank you Bronx Borough President, @msvanessa77 and Deputy Borough President @jpegnyc for this honor Sidebar: I threw on my Prada ‘There’s No Place Like Home’ heels
Double Sidebar: This for all the girls from the hood that look like me, that talk like me, that been through sh+t like me…” she concluded.
The news comes just a few days after Remy Ma’s performance at the GOOD Music Festival. On May 7, she took the stage at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden along with other performers like Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Ashanti and Lil’ Mo.
