The Remy Ma and Papoose breakup may have just entered its soundtrack era. After a messy week of public exchanges involving Remy Ma, Papoose, and Claressa Shields, both rappers are putting new music into the conversation, and the timing has fans dissecting every title and lyric.

On Friday, Remy teased her upcoming single “Why I Get Married,” featuring powerhouse singer Keke Wyatt. The title alone immediately raised eyebrows considering Remy remains legally married to Papoose while the former couple continues working through their divorce.Then came Papoose.
The Brooklyn rapper dropped a new track titled “Jezebel,” and while he does not directly name Remy in the bars circulating online, one particular line has people convinced his estranged wife is the subject.
“When you was locked up, I brought you food, sent you mail,” Papoose raps.
He also claims on the track that he still sends money through Zelle, adding another deeply personal detail to a song listeners are already connecting to the woman he supported throughout her years in prison.
That prison reference is difficult to ignore.
Remy served more than six years behind bars before being released in 2014. Papoose became widely known for standing beside her during that period, and Remy herself previously spoke about how consistently he visited her while she was incarcerated. Their relationship later became one of hip hop’s most celebrated marriages, with the pair holding a televised wedding ceremony in 2016 and eventually welcoming their daughter, Reminisce Mackenzie, in 2018.
Now, that history appears to be providing material for a very different type of record.
Neither artist has officially said these new songs are responses to one another. Still, their arrival could not come at a messier time.
Earlier this week, Remy linked up with two of Claressa Shields’ boxing rivals, Alycia Baumgardner and Amanda Serrano, while promoting music. Shields appeared to respond online, and what followed was another explosive round in the long-running feud between the women.
Shields posted that she had been “laughing all day,” prompting Remy to jump directly into her replies.
Remy emphasized that she remains legally married to Papoose and demanded that he finish the divorce.
“SIGN THE PAPERS PAPURSE!” Remy wrote while arguing with Shields.
Remy also claimed Shields had previously been friendly toward her and posted old direct messages that she said stretched from 2020 through 2024. The exchanges included an old conversation where Shields invited Remy to a fight, and Remy told her that her husband loved watching her box.
Shields fired right back.
The boxing champion accused Remy of having cheated on Papoose with battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain, an allegation Remy has previously disputed. Shields also argued that Remy was misleading people about the divorce, pointing out that Papoose was the person who filed.
That part is supported by the public timeline. Papoose filed for divorce in May 2025, but as of September 11, 2026, there has been no public confirmation that the divorce is finalized.
Remy even brought their legal proceedings into the latest social media battle, publicly reminding Papoose about their next court appearance and challenging him to “prove” his love for Shields by signing the necessary paperwork.
The tension between Remy and Shields is nothing new, but music has increasingly become part of the fight.
Earlier this year, Remy released “W.Y.F.L.,” a record widely interpreted as addressing Papoose and Shields. The song also responded to Papoose’s previous claims about writing material for Remy. Papoose later sent Remy a cease-and-desist connected to the track, demanding that she stop distributing the record and remove it.
That history makes Friday’s releases particularly interesting.
Remy teasing a song called “Why I Get Married” while publicly demanding that her husband finalize their divorce is already enough to get people talking. Papoose releasing “Jezebel” and immediately referencing supporting a woman while she was incarcerated makes the timing even harder to overlook.
For now, neither side has confirmed that the records are direct musical responses to this week’s drama.
But after years of accusations, social media receipts, divorce proceedings, new relationships, and increasingly personal records, Remy Ma and Papoose may no longer be arguing only through Instagram posts and court filings.
They might be taking the divorce straight to the booth.
