For starters, Remy is a
Terror Squad MC who was incarcerated on multiple charges in 2008 for
six years and was finally released in 2014 (which explains why you haven't
heard about her lately). However, her beef with Nicki goes back further
than that.
2007: The
feud started way back in 2007 and was supposedly ignited by Nicki when she
released "Dirty Money."
In
the track, she rapped, "Tell that bitch with the crown to run it like Chris Brown." Though she never confirmed she
was taking shots at Remy, the freestyle was over Terror Squad's "Yeah Yeah
Yeah" beat, and at the time, Remy was known for wearing crows in
her promo pics and concerts.
2008: Remy
Ma was sentenced to six years in prison all the while Nicki's career took off.
In
2008, she was named Female Artist of the Year at the Underground Music
Awards, and in 2009, she became a household name with verses on tracks like
"Bed Rock" and "Roger That."
Nicki
released her first album Pink Friday in 2010 and her second album
Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded in 2012. Both peaked at number one on
the U.S. Billboard 200 with massively successful singles like
"Super Bass" and "Starships."
2010: Remy Ma did an interview from prison in which she admitted she thought
the "Dirty Money" freestyle was directed at her.
She
warned Nicki, "It's cool. I'm going to get you back for that."
2015: After
being released from prison in 2014, Remy Ma kept her promise and recorded her
own rap over Nicki's verse on "Truffle Butter," on which the
Barbie was originally featured with Drake and Lil
Wayne.
In
the verse, Remy takes shots at Nicki with lines like, "Girl, you should
join a rap group/because as a soloist you're boring" as well as
claiming she's a fake rapper.
2016: Things
got confusing, though, when Remy Ma took to Twitter after the 2016 BET Awards
and went as far as congratulating Nicki for winning Female Rapper of the Year.
Perhaps
it was out of sarcasm?
2017:
This year, the feud has been fully reignited, starting with Nicki's two most
recent features.
She
appeared on Gucci Man's "Make Love" and rapped,
"One platinum plaque album flopped, bitch where?" alluding to Remy
Ma's most recent album with Fat Joe, Plata O Plomo,
which didn't see massive success.
Nicki
also quipped, "You see, silly rabbit, to be the queen of rap/ You gotta
sell records, you gotta get plaques."
Nicki
was also featured on Jason Derulo's "Swalla" in
which she took even more jabs at Remy Ma.
"I
gave these bitches two years now your time's up/Bless her heart, she throwing
shots but every line sucks," Nicki raps, referencing Remy Ma's two years
following her release from prison.
So
how did Remy Ma decide to respond to all of this? Dropping a song called
"shETHER" that directly names Nicki—no mistaking this one!—last week.
The
track's art features a bloodied, pink-haired Barbie doll (alluding to Nicki's
"Barbie" alter-ego), and it opens with an intro that bluntly states,
"F--k Nicki Minaj."
Remy
raps about Nicki's "whack" sense of style and her
"fake" butt and even alleges that she uses Drake and Lil Wayne as her
ghost writers.
To
further prove that Nicki got a "butt job," Remy took to
Instagram on Thursday night to post (and delete) an old photo of the
"Starships" singer in a pair of thong underwear. Though it's since
been removed, plenty of screenshots were taken.
And
it's still not over.
Remy
appeared on The Wendy Williams Show Friday to answer more questions
about the feud. She said it's not just about the lyrical jabs, but rather, Remy
alleges Nicki has been trying to "keep her off red carpets" and
slander her album, which she says doesn't only affect her, but her family, too.
"When
you're trying to stop my bag and stop me from taking care of my children, then
I have a problem," she told Wendy.
Moving
forward, Remy believes Nicki's career is six-feet under, wearing an all-black
ensemble to the talk show to "dress for the services" and delivering
one final thought...
