Nicki Minaj is attempting to set the record straight—in her opinion.
On Friday night, the rapper took to Instagram to address Remy Ma’s comments on the Drink Champs podcast. During the three-hour sit-down, Remy spoke about her highly publicized feud with Nicki and how it initially caught her off guard.
“We had conversations, regular conversations,” she told hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ DJ EFN. “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 continued: “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. asked.
“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.’”
That portion of the interview immediately circulated online, and prompted a response from Nicki.
“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 yet to respond to Nicki’s comments. You can check out the full interview on Spotify or via YouTube on Saturday.
During a 2019 interview with Hollywood Unlocked, the Terror Squad MC claimed that after she was released from prison in 2014, she and Nicki had agreed not to beef with each other in private or public. Remy said Nicki broke the agreement, which eventually led to the release of “ShETHER,” a scathing diss track aimed at The Pinkprint rapper.
“What led up to the whole ‘ShETHER’ thing was I just kept hearing so many things behind the scenes and I didn’t understand,” Remy said. “Why would you do this to me? I was already annoyed at everything that was going on. I was like, ‘Yo, as long as this is the way it is, nobody—not just me—no women are going to be able to succeed as long as this is how it is. If you don’t sound like this, if you don’t look like this, if you’re not bowing down to her, we’re never gonna get nowhere.”
She continued: “When I came home we had had a conversation where [Nicki] actually reached out to me. We had a real conversation. Anything I say, they gon’ say I’m comin’ at you. Anything you say, they gon’ say you comin’ at me. We’re not gon’ let it get to us and I thought that’s where we was at.”
