After Big Pun's passing in early 2000, Fat Joe signed Remy to his label, Terror Squad Entertainment. She then contributed to the 2004 album "True Story," featuring the chart-topping single "Lean Back." The track reached #1 on the "Billboard" Hot 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and Hot Rap Songs charts, earning Remy a Gold certification and a Grammy nomination.

Remy released her solo album "There's Something About Remy: Based on a True Story" on February 7, 2006. It peaked at #33 on the "Billboard" 200 chart, #2 on the Top Rap Albums chart, and #7 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album included singles like "Whuteva," "Conceited (There's Something About Remy)," and "Feels So Good" (featuring Ne-Yo). Dissatisfied with Universal's promotion, a rift developed between Remy and Fat Joe, leading her to part ways with Terror Squad.

Post-shooting, Barnes-Joseph sued Remy for $80 million.
