Despite various claims earlier today, TMZ has been tipped by sources revealing that Nas had NOTHING to do with Remy Ma’s diss track being yanked from the airwaves, actually it all points down to just one corporate giant….Universal Music Publishing.
The sources stated that Nas has no beef with Remy using his beat to diss Nicki Minaj in “shETHER,” and that it was completely Universal, who owns the song that made a stink after Remy used the beat for her song without their “permission.”
Remy’s label may have dropped the ball by not getting the all clear. The track’s since been taken off Sound Cloud and radio. Sources tell us Remy’s been told she can’t even perform the track. We’re also told Universal sprung into action after “shETHER” hit No. 2 on iTunes … though we checked and you can still download the track, but that could quickly change.
Nas sources are adamant the rapper would NEVER step into a blistering showdown. In fact … Nas is a fan of battle raps and appreciates the culture. Nas, of course, had one of the most epic beefs with Jay Z.
As for Remy … sources say “shETHER” might not see light of day again cause she didn’t play on Universal’s terms. I feel like the track has definitely done it’s damage and garnered the attention it was going to get. Regardless of if it can now be played on radio or not.
