USA Network has announced that hip hop artist Remy Ma will guest-star in season three of its hit series Queen of the South .
The show is based on Arturo Perez-Reverte’s international best-selling novel of the same name. For its first season, the show told Teresa Mendoza’s (Alice Braga) story of fleeing from Mexico to America after her drug dealing boyfriend was murdered for selling narcotics. In Season 2, Mendoza must not only survive but also learn the rules of the drug trade, forcing her to form an alliance with Camila Vargas (Veronica Falcon), the estranged wife of her enemy.
When Queen of the South returns later this year, Teresa Mendoza strikes out on her own, determined to build a new empire for herself. But as enemies old and new close in, she realizes that being Queen will require more work — and more sacrifice — than she ever imagined.
Ma is set to appear as Vee, a key member of Chicago drug mogul Devon Finch’s (Jamie Hector) security detail. According to the show, Vee is “efficient in combat and weaponry, courageous, deeply loyal, and can always be depended on by her boss and crew.”
In Season 2, another hip hop artist, MC Lyte played a professor who is American drug kingpin, Devon Finch’s right-hand woman.
The Bronx-bred Grammy-nominated artist has impacted rap music over the course of two decades. Her appearance on the hit single “Lean Back” yielded a Grammy nomination in 2005 for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. A year later, she dropped her groundbreaking debut There’s Something About Remy: Based on a True Story, armed with the classic track “Conceited.” Ma’s long-awaited second solo album 7 Winters and 6 Summers recounts her prison experience in Westchester County’s Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women. In 2016, she was featured in Fat Joe’s“All The Way Up,” which garnered two Grammy nominations, along with a Soul Train Music Award and BET Hip Hop Award win. Last year, she won the 2017 Best New Hip Hop Artist award at the BET Awards. She most recently starred in Love & Hip Hop: New York.
