For years, Remy Ma and Papoose have been more than just rappers in love; they have been the foundation of solid, unshakable Black love. It's looking less like a lyrical legend and more like Love & Hip-Hop.
Now, there's a new bombshell blowing in the digital wind, and it's got Hip-Hop heads scratching their heads all over again. From Papoose, Pap himself has allegedly been operating as a ghost with the pen for the bulk of Remy Ma's rhymes. That's right. The story is that since they formed, he's written about 90 percent of her bars.
The instant Papoose hopped on IG Live and said this, the timeline lit up with the fury of the Fourth of July. Now, nobody knows whether this was said out of frustration, ego, or just good ol', But the shockwave it sent through the culture? Undeniable.
Remy Ma's reputation as a lyrical assassin, particularly as a female figure in a male-dominated field, has always held serious clout. From Terror Squad days to "SHEther," she's paid her dues with mic in hand. So, the notion that she is not completely controlling her words? It cuts deep for the fans and the legacy she's spent the better two decades building.
Now, if you've been following along with the tears in this power couple's fabric lately, nothing about this should feel entirely out of left field. What might have felt like a love story set to mixtape music has begun to seem more like front-row seats to a public disintegration.
This is a matter of trust, identity, and control. We have questions assuming what Papoose said is accurate, which is a big if. Did she ask him to write? Did he offer? Or was this some "I built you" kind of energy directed in the middle of a relationship spat? Either way, something is amiss.
Remy, Papwe loves you all. But please, for the culture, your child, and our sanity, keep the next episode in Draft status rather than Scheduled or Live.
