Jereme Rogers (born January 13, 1985) is an American professional skateboarder, well known in the skateboarding sub-culture for his early retirement and rap music production.

Rogers returned to professional skateboarding in June 2010 with a press release announcing his own company, Selfish.^[1]

Rogers was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, United States (US). He primarily skated at a local skatepark called Eight Ball Skatepark in Bellingham, Massachusetts and was sponsored by Concrete Wave Skate Shop.

Following Rogers' participation at a series of demos by the DVS Shoes team, Jeron Wilson (DVS team member) obtained Rogers' name and phone number. Rogers then left school at the age of fifteen and relocated to Los Angeles, California, US, to pursue his skating career.

Rogers retired from professional skateboarding in June 2009 to focus on a musical career. On May 4, 2010, Rogers announced that he would return to skateboarding and will do his music career at the same time.^{[citation needed]}

Rogers resigned from the Girl skateboard company following his assertion that the company was withholding skateboard deck royalties. Following his departure from the company, Rogers claimed that his royalties were being used to compensate for losses in other areas of Girl's business.^[11]

In March 2014, Jereme was arrested on charges of assault and battery for his alleged participation in a beating at Los Angeles nightclub Lure.^[12] He was found not guilty in March 2015, although he was sued in civil court by the victim of the melee.
