Omeretta the Great Talks Marriage Plans With Incarcerated Fiancé

The former 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' said she plans to marry Ta’Byron Rashad Smith while he's behind bars. Smith is currently serving a 27-year sentence.

Omeretta the Great is ready to get hitched.

During a recent interview on It’s Tricky With Raquel Harper, the 25-year-old Atlanta native opened up about her love life and her intentions to tie the knot with Ta’Byron Rashad Smith. Omeretta told the titular host she and Smith were officially engaged, and planned to get married while he’s behind bars and then conduct another wedding ceremony after his release.

Harper pointed out that Smith is serving a 27-year sentence, which means the couple would be in their late 50s by the time he was free.

“So you want them conjugals?” the host said, before Omeretta clarified that those visits are prohibited in federal prison. “So, what are you gonna do about kids, though? Do you plan on having kids?”

“Yeah,” Omeretta said. “He’s gonna come home.”

Harper continued to press Omeretta about the kids situation, asking whether or not she would freeze her eggs.

Omeretta suggested she didn’t need to take that route, as Smith was expected to get an early release.

Smith received his prison sentence in late 2020, after he was convicted of robbing nine Asian-owned businesses. The “Sorry Not Sorry” rapper said she has felt judged by many fans for staying committed to Smith, and even getting multiple tattoos in his honor.

“They don’t understand me, so they judge,” she continued. “I’ve been knowing him since I was 14 years old—we used to date back then, we never stopped talking to each other [...] we never lost contact with each other. The first time he got out, we were supposed to be together, and we spent a lot of time together when he came home the first time, but I was still talking to other people, so we didn’t get our real fair chance to be together for real. But we’ve been close for a long time.”
