Remy and Papoose have become one of Hip Hop’s most adored couples, navigating through numerous challenges together while remaining in the spotlight for many years. Their relationship has always seemed solid, filled with happiness and health, and many of us believed they were in it for the long haul. But now, things seem to be taking a turn. It’s shaping up to be quite a messy situation, isn’t it?
But before we dive into the drama, let’s take a moment to settle in, grab some snacks, and relax.

After Papoose served time in Riker’s Island, he made a serious commitment to his rap career, determined to carve out a better life for himself. He poured his heart into recording mixtapes and tirelessly pursued opportunities to get his music heard. Finally, his persistence paid off when DJ K Slay, known for championing new talent, took notice and gave Papoose airtime on HOT97. This marked the beginning of a mentorship that propelled Papoose into the spotlight, earning him features alongside established artists on mixtapes and igniting a bidding war among record labels. Despite receiving a mysterious warning not to sign with Jive Records, citing potential sabotage from within the label, Papoose brushed it off and inked a deal with Jive in 2006, determined to make his mark in the industry.
Everybody was hooked on Klay’s radio show, and guess who was among the listeners? Remy Ma herself! Remy once admitted she had some beef with Papoose because he knocked her off the top spot on the DJ’s list with his mixtapes, pushing her down to number two. Papoose spilled the beans on MTV’s Build series, sharing that Caslay hinted someone wanted to collaborate with him, and that someone turned out to be Remy. Despite warnings from the DJ about Remy being a bit offbeat, Papoose brushed them aside. Their first studio session hit a snag when Remy bailed because she wasn’t feeling her outfit – seriously, what does fashion have to do with making music? Anyway, they finally got together for round two, hit it off instantly, and became pals.
Fast forward to their first date – they kept it chill, just hanging out in a car, enjoying some MJ. Sounds like a blast, right?
But hold onto your seats, there’s more drama ahead. Picture this: a night out in July 2007, Remy finds herself in a heated argument at a Manhattan restaurant, accusing someone named Makita Barnes Joseph of swiping $3,000 from her purse. Things got out of hand, shots were fired, and Joseph ended up getting hit twice in the belly. Luckily, she pulled through. Remy faced some serious charges for allegedly trying to take someone’s life, though her lawyer argued it was all an accident. Amidst the chaos, Remy and Papoose decided to tie the knot. However, the drama didn’t stop there. When Papoose visited Remy in Riker’s Island, guards got suspicious, thinking he was trying to help her escape with a tiny key he had. Papoose called it BS, but he got banned from visiting for six months. Tough break.
Despite the ups and downs, Papoose remained by Remy’s side, showing unwavering loyalty. Sounds like a Pisces, right? Loyal as they come.
To some onlookers, it seemed like Papoose was way more invested in their relationship than she was. Maybe she just went along with it because he was there, especially knowing she’d need someone during her time in prison. It’s pretty disappointing, right? They had these grand plans for a wedding on a yacht, but things took a sharp turn when the judge called her out for being extremely angry and out of control. Remy got hit with an 8-year sentence, tearing her away from her loved ones, including her son from a previous relationship. The New York Times even reported on Papoose losing it in court, shouting and causing a scene.
Then came the move to Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, and they decided to tie the knot to ensure Papoose could visit. Despite the long drives from Brooklyn and canceling gigs, Papoose stuck by her side. He’d spend the whole day with her during visits, then call her up in the evening, chatting until she had to turn in. Isn’t Papoose proving himself to be the real deal?
Despite all the doubters, Papoose remained steadfast. Over time, Remy came to realize Papoose’s unwavering commitment. She stopped questioning his love. But does she love him back? That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it?
Papoose opened up to Vlad TV about Remy’s time in prison, revealing that they were lucky enough to have conjugal visits. That meant he had to make regular trips to the store to stock up on supplies, gather his three kids from previous relationships, plus Remy’s son, and they’d all spend a few days together behind bars. Looking back, Papoose confessed, “I was too caught up in Remy. I should’ve been hustling for a job. I was empty-handed. If you wanna roll with me, you gotta have something going on.” Eventually, Remy had to gently nudge Papoose to focus on his own career.
Summing it up on the Hollywood Life podcast, Remy revealed she had to ask Papoose to ease off on the visits so he could concentrate on his own path. This sparked some debate about Papoose’s motives—was he head over heels or just a bit lost? Maybe a bit of both, given his tendency to revolve around Remy. Some may admire his unwavering support, but it raised questions about his own self-esteem. Instead of chasing his own dreams, he opted to spend precious time in a prison visiting room, playing cards and catching up with Remy. This stirred up thoughts about what kind of partner Papoose truly was—can a man who sets aside his own ambitions to cater to his partner’s needs really be considered desirable? Doubtful, as such an unbalanced dynamic often leads to discontent.
Papoose’s stint with Jive Records proved short-lived, with just one single before hitting a career roadblock. He later lamented ignoring a crucial text message before signing, branding the deal with Jive as his worst career move in an interview with Vlad TV. Yet, amidst the fallout, his loyalty to Remy remained unwavering. Remy herself acknowledged his steadfastness, grateful for his support during her incarceration, contrasting the abandonment many inmates faced from their partners.
Upon Remy’s 2014 release, the couple faced the challenge of rekindling their relationship. Remy candidly shared her surprise at Papoose’s peculiar habits, like leaving cereal bowls in the bathroom and letting clothes pile up on the couch. Despite his consistent visits during her time inside, Remy struggled to adapt to their cohabitation, transitioning from solitary living to sharing space with a husband and stepchildren. While Papoose encouraged her to focus on their reunion’s joy, Remy couldn’t ignore the disorderliness, citing her own OCD tendencies.
Their adjustment period was marked by Remy’s frustration with household cleanliness. Despite Papoose’s reassurances, she couldn’t shake her discomfort, lamenting the lack of tidiness. Their banter, though lighthearted, underscored the complexities of merging two lives post-incarceration.
In 2015, they jumped on board the Love and Hip Hop New York train. By December that year, they sealed the deal with a beautiful wedding ceremony. Their hearts swelled with joy when, in June 2016, they shared the news of an incoming bundle of joy. But alas, their hopes were dashed by a miscarriage, revealing potential hurdles on their path to natural conception. A year later, their marital bliss faced a sudden storm when rumors surfaced of Papoose’s alleged infidelity during Remy’s time behind bars. “She’s spinning a yarn. No way. I’m not buying it,” Remy vehemently countered.
He was always by Remy’s side whenever possible. “Just hold tight for the whole story,” she assured her doubters. “Shush me one more time, and you might find yourself stranded at home,” she quipped to a friend. The accuser also claimed to be carrying Papoose’s child. In a detailed Instagram post, Papoose exposed her as a Connecticut concert promoter who had been chasing him for years. Armed with a video from a radio host, Papoose unveiled the woman scheming with a friend to concoct the false narrative. In his caption, he reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to Remy, saying, “I worship the ground my wife walks on and would never betray her trust. But if I were to stray, it certainly wouldn’t be with someone like this. My apologies.” Now, that’s what you call a devoted partner, Savannah.
They ventured into their own TV series, Remy and Papoose: Meet the Mackys. In 2018, they celebrated their 10th anniversary with a heartfelt vow renewal. That same year, they welcomed their daughter, Reminisce, after a tumultuous childbirth that required surgery for Remy. Papoose showered her with love and appreciation by gifting her a $94,000 Cadillac Escalade.
In a candid interview on the Out Loud with Claudia Jordan podcast back in July 2020, Papoose didn’t mince words about wanting to expand their family, setting off a frenzy of excitement among fans on Remy and Papoose’s social media feeds. But Papoose quickly had to play down the hype, urging fans to cool it with a firm “Sit y’all asses down.” Later, during an Instagram chat, Papoose revealed that they had just started exploring IVF options when Remy decided to hit the brakes on their plans, probably feeling like they’d jumped the gun. “Oh, hell, here it comes, y’all. Here it comes.”
While Remy didn’t explicitly share her reasons for holding off, it was probably a wise move given what unfolded later on. In 2023, Battle Rapper Easy the Block Captain dropped the bombshell that Remy was now his manager, sparking rumors of a real-life showdown with Papoose. Things heated up during Remy’s Chrome 23 event, known as the Grudge Card, in New York City. Witnesses claimed there was tension between Easy and Papoose, with Papoose allegedly throwing a punch that sent Easy to the floor. “Swang on them, Papoose!” Despite Remy’s efforts to shut down the rumors on Twitter, the gossip persisted, especially when during a September 2023 battle rap, Geidi Gaei called out Remy for allegedly cheating with Easy and confirmed Papoose’s scuffle. Remy appeared stunned but brushed off the accusations later, saying it’s all part of the battle rap game. “Girl, stop lying.”
Days after the incident, Tasha K uploaded a photo supposedly showing Remy dining with Easy at a restaurant. Then, in November 2023, Remy and Easy were spotted together at a Philadelphia Eagles football game. The disrespect is undeniable. It’s all just so disappointing. Later that same month, Remy took to her Instagram to express her frustration, implying betrayal: ‘You know what you did, yet I’ve kept your secrets.’ It’s tempting to spill the truth, especially with all the suspicions surrounding you. Then, in December 2023, an audio clip leaked of Easy seemingly confirming the rumors of their affair. While Easy claimed the clip was doctored, he didn’t outright deny it was his voice. The lack of activity on their social media for months speaks volumes. Perhaps there’s a chance for reconciliation, but after the public embarrassment Papoose faced due to the cheating allegations, it might be best for him to move forward. Looks like another love story is reaching its end.
