Smith started her professional career working as an Executive Assistant at the multi-media company, Violator Management. While working in the company, she has served famous personalities like Missy Elliott, LL Cool J, and 50 Cent. Smith happened to meet the rapper, Jim Jones while traveling on a private jet. After meeting Jones, she left the Violator and became his full-time manager.

In 2006, the cable network, VH1 approached Jim Jones for a reality show which was supposed to be called “Keeping Up with the Joneses”. However, the concept of the show was later changed, and renamed “Love & Hip Hop”. Though, Jones was still a part of the series where he was surrounded by his girlfriend, Chrissy, and her friends.

Smith made her first appearance on the reality series during its first season, though it was just like a cameo. But, she made an entry as a main cast member in the second season of the reality show. The second season revolved around the issues she had with Jones while she was working as his manager. Yandy had a big fight with Jones’ girlfriend, Chrissy, during that season, which ultimately ended her relationship with Jones.

Smith has been a part of the series “Love & Hip Hop: New York” until its 10th season. Besides earning fame as a reality star, she has also gathered other several work experiences. She has worked as a consultant at the Warner Music Group, Atlantic Records, and Columbia. She is also serving as a talent agent at a company named Monami Entertainment.
