Busta Rhymes is a legendary rapper most popular for songs like Woo Hah and Break Ya Neck. Yet, many people don’t know that he has four baby mamas, each with their drama.
From a high school sweetheart turned bitter, to a mysterious, unnamed woman, here’s a rundown of Busta Rhymes’ wives.
Is Busta Rhymes Married?
While he has technically never been married, Busta Rhymes has several women whom we can call his wives. He has a total of six children from four women, some he was with through long-term relationships.
Busta Rhymes’ Past Relationships
Here’s what happened to each of Busta Rhymes’ past relationships.
Joanne Wood
Joanne Wood was Busta Rhymes’ first girlfriend and high school sweetheart. When they met, Joanne Wood was a shy, quiet girl. Meanwhile, Busta Rhymes had a big personality and was already part of a rap group.
The couple had an incredibly toxic relationship where Busta Rhymes repeatedly cheated on her. Joanne Wood said Busta proposed to her three times, but nothing ever came out of it.
When Busta Rhymes and Joanne Wood split, they went through a messy custody battle. Joanne Wood revealed that she had caught Busta Rhymes having an intimate relationship with a man.
Children with Joanne Wood
- T’ziah Wood Smith: T’ziah played basketball in college and earned a marketing degree.
- T’khi Wood Smith: T’khi graduated from his computer science course on a full football scholarship!
- Trillian Wood Smith: Trillian followed his father’s footsteps. At 24, he had a music label and a hit song that blew up on the radio.
Jill Miskelly
There’s not much information about Jill Miskelly online, whether she was actively dating Rhymes or if it was a one-night fling. Given how Rhymes has been associated with P. Diddy, I won’t be surprised if it was the latter.

What we do know is that Jill Miskelly was one of the women Busta Rhymes was seeing while he was still with Joanne Wood.
In 1999, Jill Miskelly sued Busta Rhymes for child support. Of course, Busta Rhymes denied having a relationship with her at first.
Fortunately, Miskelly and her legal team were able to prove that Rhymes was the biological father of her daughter with 99.99% accuracy. Busta Rhymes had no choice but to pay her child support.
Children with Jill Miskelly
- Mariah Miskelly: Busta Rhymes’ second child, Mariah Miskelly, was born in 1998. Her Instagram says she’s an artist, writer, and pianist. She also collaborated with Busta Rhymes on a song called Legacy.
Rhonda Randall
Rhonda Randall has the same story as Jill Miskelly. She fell pregnant with Busta Rhymes’ child around the same time as Miskelly.
It’s not certain whether these two women knew about each other.
In an interview with Diary of a CEO, Busta Rhymes has said that he wasn’t on good terms with any of his baby mamas. Given that information, there’s a chance that neither Rhonda Randall nor Jill Miskelly became pregnant intentionally.
In 1999, Rhonda Randall gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She received court-ordered child support from Busta Rhymes as well.
Not much information is available about Rhonda Randall, and she prefers to stay out of the spotlight.
Children with Rhonda Randall
- Cacie Smith: Cacie Smith, or Cie, as she likes to be called, is an artist like her dad. She sang with her sister on Busta Rhymes’ Legacy and even performed it on The Tonight Show.
The Mystery Wife
Last but not least, Busta Rhymes as a final child with a mystery woman. The rapper has never publicly revealed her name, so we know nothing about her.
Busta Rhymes does mention that he also pays her a significant amount of money for child support. Yet, he’s not in the best place, relationship-wise, with the mystery woman.
Children with the Mystery Wife
- Miracle Smith: Miracle Smith is Busta Rhymes’ youngest daughter. She was born in 2006, making her 19 today. Miracle rarely shows up in public like her other siblings, and she prefers to keep out of the spotlight like her mother.
Conclusion
Busta Rhymes may be a hip-hop icon, but behind the scenes, he has a trail of women with whom he has plenty of drama.
None of Busta Rhymes’ wives seem to like him. Still, he does have good relationships with his children. That’s something, I guess!
