Remy Ma has responded to comments from her estranged husband's girlfriend, Claressa Shields. On The Breakfast Club, she discussed her relationship with Papoose and called the former couple's impending divorce the "elephant in the room." She said:
"But that takes time, and like I said, that's not my place to speak on it. It'll get handled. I just know that from my perspective, I'm with him every day, and when I'm not with him, we're on the phone every day and we're talking and we're Facetiming. We love each other."
This the interview allegedly pushed Remy Ma to rant on Instagram about her crumbling relationship with ex-husband Papoose, stating she wants the divorce settlement finalized quickly.

Rapper Remy Ma, whose real name is Reminisce Kioni Smith, married Papoose in 2016. In December 2018, the couple welcomed their first and only child, Reminisce Mackie.
Professional boxer and ex-mixed martial artist Claressa Shields, connected to the "Get At Me" rapper since last year after Remy Ma revealed their relationship online, shared on The Breakfast Club radio show on May 21 how she first met Papoose. She remarked:
"I just remember like Pap, he walked up to me and he shook my hand, which I was like, 'Who the fuck shake hands?"
During the conversation, she stated she was secure in her relationship with the rapper and had no "ill will" towards Remy Ma. This led the Grammy-nominated singer to go live on Instagram the following day, May 22, to discuss her impending divorce with her ex-husband. In the dialogue, obtained by Complex Sports, she said:
"Who I married in 2008, that’s not who this is now. Now he’s a wife. Listen, this is what I would like: Papoose, you have my lawyer’s information."
She further added:
"If you can’t afford to retain a lawyer since the lawyer that you gave has not been retained yet, I told you I’ll pay for [the divorce]. If someone that loves you over there wants to pay for it, great. That will make me happy. Everything is signed and ready to go."
Soon after, Pappose addressed Remy Ma's claims. In an Instagram post, he explained that he hadn't filed for divorce yet due to their daughter and aimed for a peaceful settlement for her sake. He wrote:
"The only reason I haven’t filed previously Is for the sake of my daughter. She has to go to school. When two individuals behave like civilized adults, you can get a divorce peacefully/privately and that was my intentions."
He further said that Remy Ma allegedly wanted to get back together with him. He said:
"But when a person wants to be bitter and clout chase, it turns into a circus which can lead to an embarrassment for my child.You just lied for a hour straight. But, actions speak louder than lies. You just called me YESTERDAY trying to get back with me. I said NO!”
Later that day on May 22, Remy Ma posted a video with a caption that appeared to be a direct response to earlier claims made by Papoose. She wrote:
"All papoose care about is what yall think of him. I KNEW he was coming on here like the EMOTIONAL girl he is. And, I’ve been waiting! I would listen to ONLY papoose music 24/7 for the rest of my life before I get back with you BOZO,”
She further added:
"Sidebar: and you haven’t taken my daughter to or from school since last year. But that’s allegedly why u got a place so close to my crib lol. “Double Sidebar: Like I always tell you… if u miss me just say that. no need to start an unnecessary fight.”
Since then, both Remy Ma and Papoose have shared numerous posts on their respective social media accounts to demonstrate that their version of the story is the accurate one.
