Hip-hop star Remy Ma publicly aired her frustrations with estranged husband Papoose during an emotional Instagram Live session on Thursday, hinting at serious marital issues behind the scenes of their once-admired relationship.
“I’ve never breathed so freely,” Remy confessed, as reported by Hollywood Unlocked. “I couldn’t take it anymore. I said, ‘Hey, this isn’t what it is. You can’t keep doing this.’ … People would cry if they knew the truth. I feel sorry for ol’ girl. I feel sorry for her because I know the circles that’s being ran and wrapped around over there. I would cry. I feel bad.”
While Remy stopped short of revealing specific details, her remarks made it clear the couple’s marriage had reached a critical breaking point. Pausing to take a phone call mid-stream, she added, “How am I going out sad? Because I’m not sitting here telling you everything that happened in a marriage? If you’ve never been married, you wouldn’t understand the bond that’s supposed to be between two people. You wouldn’t understand that.”
Remy Ma and Papoose tied the knot in 2008, shortly after Remy began serving a six-year prison sentence for assault. Over the years, they were hailed as one of hip-hop’s most loyal and enduring couples. The two welcomed their first child in 2018, solidifying their family bond.
However, in recent years, rumors of infidelity and marital strife began to circulate. Now, it appears that the couple has gone their separate ways, with Remy’s Instagram Live airing possibly marking a turning point.
Adding fuel to the fire, Claressa Shields—Papoose’s rumored new girlfriend—recently spoke out about their relationship. “I don’t know what’s going on in his personal life,” Shields told Baller Alert. “But that takes time, and like I said, that’s not my place to speak on. What I do know is, I’m with him every day. And when we’re not together, we’re on the phone. We FaceTime. We love each other. That’s just what it is.”
The unfolding drama between Remy Ma, Papoose, and Claressa Shields is quickly becoming one of hip-hop’s most talked-about relationship sagas, blending personal heartbreak with public intrigue.
