In a recent sitdown with Drink Champs, Remy Ma discussed her longstanding beef with Nicki Minaj, saying that the beef first came as a surprise to her. Nicki has now responded to some of the claims she made on the podcast.
“We had conversations, regular conversations,” Remy told the Drink Champs hosts. “I never saw that one coming, because I felt like we had a conversation with her, because I’ve been in this predicament before, where I was the girl just coming in…”
Remy and Nicki agreed not to speak after their fallout in February 2017, when Remy dropped “shETHER,” a seven-minute diss to Nicki after she made subliminal references to Remy on Jason Derulo's "Swalla" and Gucci Mane's "Make Love."
“I just always felt like anything I say, people are gonna say I’m talking about her, anything she say, people are gonna say she’s talking about me, so let’s make an agreement that we never talk about each other.”
“This is you telling her that?” N.O.R.E. interjected.
“Conversations. This is not even telling her. It’s like a conversation—a back-and-forth,” Remy responded. “I feel like any woman, you’re supposed to feel like you’re the shit. What you’re supposed to do? Get on a song and be, like, ‘Yeah, I’m number 2, or I’m number 3?’ No. You’re supposed to talk like you’re that bitch and you’re the shit. Just never let it get there. And it was just certain shit that transpired behind the scenes, messages that I seen, that I know wasn’t fabricated. And I was just like, ‘Nah.’”
Remy's claims were quickly rebutted by Minaj on Instagram after a clip of this exchange went viral.
“He must be misunderstanding what she saying to him. Did he say? ‘This is you telling her that?’ Nicki wrote. “For the record, I’ve never had this conversation with her or anyone.”
Remy has not responded to Nicki's pushback. Remy's diss may not have entirely worked out for her, since she previously stated in an interview last December that female rappers are afraid to work with her now.
“My pen really go,” she told Big U's Checc'n during a podcast. “They know. Nobody don’t play with me. Even guys. People call me and they’re like, ‘You need to do some features.’ No girl wants to be on a song with me. Especially if she up!”
“She don’t want Remy Ma on a song. They know what’s gon’ happen and the same thing goes for guys. A guy don’t wanna call me to get on a song ’cause he knows what’s gonna happen! So, it’s cool. I’m alright with it.”
