A native Bronx rapper was recognized in her hometown recently. Remy Ma took to Instagram on May 14 to share a video of her unveiling her street sign in the Bronx, located on the Bronx Walk of Fame, BET reported.
“Today, I was given my own street sign in The Bronx,” the post’s caption read. “I’ve come so far from the girl that used to take the six train and ride the Bx22 bus. 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.”

The reveal took place Saturday, and the Terror Squad rapper was supported by Fat Joe, her husband Papoose, Bronx borough president Vanessa L. Gibson, and deputy president Janet Peguero.
“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. 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.”
The Bronx Walk of Fame was founded by Fernando Ferrer and carried some of the most well-known names along its 23-block corridor like Luther Vandross, Fat Joe, Swizz Beatz, and more.
The honor came the day after the rapper celebrated 14 years of marriage with her husband, who made a touching anniversary post.
“Today, we celebrate 14 years of marriage,” the post read. “Through all the ups & downs, we stuck together. Most people don’t pass the test of time. So when that happens, it speaks volumes. @remyma, You are an amazing partner. Looking forward to our future! You can’t tell a woman you love her. Are you stupid? Words don’t express ya love. You gotta prove it.”
