The long-standing rap feud between Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma may need a fresh perspective, according to DJ Akademiks, following shocking allegations from Papoose about ghostwriting.

The internet erupted after Papoose—Remy Ma’s estranged husband—publicly claimed to have ghostwritten much of her music. This revelation is now raising questions about Remy’s lyrical credibility, particularly concerning her legendary diss track “Shether,” aimed at Nicki Minaj.

During a recent livestream captured by @joebuddenclips on Twitter/X, DJ Akademiks addressed the controversy head-on.

“If Remy Ma—who many believe won the battle against Nicki Minaj—did so with a track allegedly written by Papoose, that’s a disqualification,” Ak argued. “That n**a Papoose has been rhyming professionally for years. If he wrote ‘Shether,’ it changes everything.”*

Akademiks added that while ghostwriting isn’t new in hip-hop, the familial connection between Remy and Papoose blurs the lines. “If your husband is a rapper and pens your bars, is it ghostwriting or just family business?” he asked his viewers.

Remy Ma vs. Nicki Minaj: A Battle Revisited

The rap beef between Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj reached its peak in 2017 with the release of “Shether,” a brutal diss that earned Remy major respect in the battle rap community. Nicki responded with “No Frauds,” but many fans believed the damage had already been done.

However, if Papoose indeed had a hand in crafting “Shether,” DJ Akademiks believes the cultural victory may not be as clear-cut.

“If we find out someone else wrote Nicki’s verses, we’d be talking about that too,” he said. “But we haven’t. This revelation puts Remy’s win in question.”

Cheating Allegations and Social Media Fallout

The ghostwriting bombshell is just the latest in an ongoing saga between Remy Ma and Papoose. The couple has been exchanging explosive cheating allegations online, drawing reactions from fans and fellow celebrities.

Notably, Papoose’s rumored girlfriend, professional boxer Claressa Shields, has entered the fray, trading barbs with Remy Ma via social media. It’s a dramatic situation that continues to unfold in the public eye.
