Move over Nicki Minaj – Remy Ma has a new beef in town. Her opponent? Social media ne’er-do-well Azealia Banks.
It all started with Ma’s assertion that, prior to her coming onto the rap scene in a big way, it was “tumbleweeds” as far as female emcees went at the time. A comment that probably didn’t sit well with a lot of people, including Banks, who fired an incendiary response.
The rapper/actress voiced the opinion that Remy Ma has had to grapple onto Nicki Minaj’s in order to get her name in the headlines after being released from prison and, according to Banks, Minaj is still “miles more important” than Ma. In fact, Banks went to say that the Love & Hip Hop cast member hasn’t contributed “a single artful thing” to female rap. Unexpectedly though, Azealia seemed to reneg on her statement a little bit by changing her Instagram caption.
“Let me rephrase,” said Banks in the reworded caption. “You absolutely must step your shit up,” he added, telling that “the music you have been releasing is some serious old head rap shit […]” Predictably, Remy Ma was wise to the change of heart insofar as Banks’ social media statement and promptly took her to task for trying to backpedal on what she said.
Ma didn’t waste time with her clap back. “DONT F**KIN CHANGE YA CAPTION NOW!” she barked. “I got a year and a half more of u stalking me, hating on ya new fave, & getting ignored… I’m officially airing out ALL y’all chicks that was on MY line heavy when I touched down & now all of a sudden got amnesia.” It’s safe to say that this Instagram beef may not be fading into the background anytime soon.
