Remy Ma is “still around” making her media runs. And for her latest appearance, she stopped by “The Wendy Williams Show” where she talked about prison life, which celebs she kept in contact with, her relationship with Nicki Minaj and more inside….
After 6 years, 4 months and 5 days behind bars, Grammy nominated raptress Remy Ma has been busy making media appearances in between studio sessions as she gears up to make her entrance back into the rap game. While she works on her post-prison album, Rem plans to drop a new mixtape titled “I’m Around” to hold her fans over until the LP is complete.
This morning, Remy hit the couch to chop it up with Wendy on the “Wendy Show” about 6-year prison stint, being a mom to her now 14-year-old son, married life with her husband/rapper Papoose and more.
Although Rem was late (that damn NY traffic), she managed to drop a few nuggets about Keyshia Cole and 50 Cent holding it down for her while she was incarcerated, whether she has regrets AND about this rumored “beef” with Nicki Minaj.
Before getting to the juicy topics, Rem revealed Wendy’s show was the root of a few physical altercations when she was behind bars. She said there were 60 women who had to share one television and she would demand they watch “Wendy” when she was on the air. Definitely a full-circle moment for her.
Peep the highlights:
On which celebs showed her love while she was in prison:“I did more phone calls to people. I spoke to DJ Khaled on the phone. 50 Cent sent me wonderful letters for my P.O. Like personally signed them saying like [telling the judge] if you grant her appeal she’ll be fine. And Keyshia Cole gave me thousands of thousands of dollars like here ‘this is for you son, this is for your lawyer’. That to me meant more than coming to visit me.”
On her “beef” with Nicki Minaj:“That’s not true. We speak very often. We speak often and I’m very proud of her. She wishes me the best and I wish her best all the time.”
On any regrets: “I believe everyone who has went through any turmoil in their life have some regrets. I definitely know that keeping a smaller circle and keeping people around that love you genuinely. It just made me more wiser about my surroundings.”
On the pending lawsuit filed by Makeda Barnes Joseph (the woman she shot):“It was settled.”
On how her prison sentence affected her marriage:“I believe that me being away actually brought us closer than we would be if I was home. It made us understand how precious we were to each other. We couldn’t just see each other anymore, couldn’t talk to each other, couldn’t sleep with each other when we wanted to. So anytime that we did have together we really cherished it.”
Remy and Papoose had planned to get married just one month before she was sentenced. In 2008, they were scheduled to get married on April 27th, but that was cut short after she was sentenced to eights years on two charges of assault on March 27th. Since they already had the marriage certificate, they just filled it out and got married anyway.
Wendy asked her what advice she would give “Real Housewives of New Jersy” star Teresa Giudice, who was sentenced to 15 months in prison. Rem advised her stay on the phone with her children as much as she can, write them letters, have people bring them to see her often. She said to try to communicate with her children as much as possible and tell them the truth.
After their interview, they played a freestyle game where Remy had to freestyle using random words Wendy held up on a card.
