Just before midnight, Nicki Minaj decided to release three songs, “No Frauds,” “Changed It” and “Regret in Your Tears.” The highlight is “No Frauds” as Nicki addressed her record deal claims, her record sales and aired out Remy’s own dirty laundry.
Nicki used just one verse to throw jabs right back at Remy.
On Plato not selling well:
You can’t be Pablo if your work ain’t sellin’
What the f*** is this b**** inhalin’?
I would’ve helped you out that pit you fell in
I am the generous Queen! Ask Ms. Ellen
On rumors Papoose wrote the diss rhymes:
Tried to drop “Another One”, you was itchin’ to scrap
You exposed your ghostwriter, now you wish it was scrapped
Heard your p**** on “Yuck,” I guess you needed a Pap
Shots at her parenting and Prison Sentence:
What type of bum b**** shoot a friend over a rack?
What type of mother leave her one son over a stack?
Response to the “back to back” line on “Another One:”
Lil Boogie down basic b**** thinkin’ she back
Back to back, oh you mean, back to wack?
“Back to Back”? Me and Drizzy laughed at that
Nicki’s response to Remy on record sales not as important as rhyming as a rapper:
They say numbers don’t matter but when they discussin’ the kings
They turn around and say Lebron ain’t got 6 rings
I never signed a 360, b*** you wild dumb
That’s why Jay ain’t clear his verse for your album
Sheneneh, you a fraud committin’ perjury
Talking about Remy’s plastic surgery:
I got before and after pictures of your surgery
Rah took you to her doc, but you don’t look like Rah
Left the operating table, still look like “nah”
On “Regret in Your Tears,” Nicki is letting listeners know that Meek is being foolish, and not being a “boss” in the relationship caused them to go their separate ways.
Baby now you know you got nerve
I know you just wanna be heard
I’m a bad b****, you ain’t used to that
You gon’ f*** around and make me do you bad
Used to creep, creep, with you through the back
I count up the cash and bring you the bag
I count up the racks like Serena
Plus I got that a** like Selena
And you know nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, not a b****
That’s gon’ care, care, hold you down and love you like this
Drop down, turn around, baby show you like this
Won’t find another one to ride it like a soldier like this
Meek Mill did respond on Instagram with the following:
“No Frauds,” “Changed It” and “Regret in Your Tears” flew up the iTunes and Spotify charts overnight. Currently, “No Frauds” sits at number 2 on iTunes top downloads. All of the songs are one, two and three on iTunes Hip Hop Charts. Nicki wasn’t done however, as she glided over to her social media accounts and posted this braggadocios statement:
Just before the tracks dropped, TMZ reported that her distribution label Universal had “ShETHER” removed from iTunes and streaming sites. The record also cannot be played on radio. Nas apparently had nothing to do with the removal but “Ether” did:
Nas has no beef with Remy using his beat to diss Nicki Minaj in “shETHER” … and it was Universal — which owns the song — that made a stink after Remy jacked the beat, slapped it on her track and sold it without its permissionSources connected to the rapper tell TMZ … Nas has no beef with Remy using his beat to diss Nicki Minaj in “shETHER” … and it was Universal — which owns the song — that made a stink after Remy jacked the beat, slapped it on her track and sold it without its permission.
We’re 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.
… sources say “shETHER” might not see light of day again cause she didn’t play on Universal’s terms.
Check out the Lady Luck interview Nicki Minaj referenced on Instagram and then listen to all of the tracks via Spotify:
I like all three songs but I’ll say Remy won the rap beef. But at the end of the day, Nicki will still be more successful.
Facts. Nicki will still be successful when it’s all said and done. If Kim couldn’t stop Nicki, are we really supposed to believe Remy will? It’s not going to happen.
Nicki won from the simple fact that she used actual facts and her joints will actually play on the radio and clubs. She’s just smarter than Remy. I know Nicki haters won’t like this comment but oh well.
Nicki is so disrespectful.
I’m gonna give Remy the edge but Nicki will be just fine as iTunes is already showing. Remy can’t ruin her. Sorry.
Lady Luck is hilarious. What’s interesting to me is that people think Remy woke up and went in the studio and just recorded and that was it. Then they expected Nicki to wake up, hear the song, start writing and respond within 24 hours. It Remy 2-3 weeks to write, rehearse and record in whatever order. Therefore, if the responder is smart they too would dissect the song, prepare the answer and record as well all which will take 2-3 weeks.
I think Remy should have left things along. Lil Kim tried it too and that didn’t work so lesson’s learned.
The problem is Remy has voluntarily placed herself in Nicki’s shadow. She can’t get an interview now unless she talks about Nicki. That is ultimately why I can’t say she won.
People don’t want to admit it but Nicki outsmarted Remy. Remy can’t even perform Shether. Now her new songs are doing well and she’s going to keep running the radio. From a PR perspective, this beef was a waste of time for Remy. It hasn’t helpe she album sales and now people are only interested in her when she discusses Nicki. You can’t win as an artist that way.
*helped her album sales
I am still not impressed by anything Remy has done. To me her flow is weak and she has never blown me away. And to be real, she is jealous of Nicki and that’s the real reason for Shether. Hate on Nicki if you want but she for where she is today because she’s strategic. Remy is not.
It’s sad it even had to come down to this. Nicki never had an issue with Remy. She even wanted to do a song with Remy and Fox but Remy said no because she doesn’t like Foxy. But somehow Remy was able to spin this into Nicki hating on her and not supporting other female rappers. That Gucci song was about Azealia but Remy decided to let Papoose gas her and go after Nicki since she’s always been jealous anyway. She can release as many diss tracks as she wants but Nicki will keep winning. Cry, piss, moan, hate on Twitter…it won’t change anything. She’s blessed and it’s not her fault your favorite female rapper never reached her level of success. Do something with that misdirected anger. Stop hating on Nicki and actually support who you do like with your coins. With all these new fans Remy has, there’s no reason she should still be flopping.
I really like Regret In Your Tears. Anyway people were going to say Nicki lost no matter what she put out. They don’t like her and haven’t liked her for years because many of them are Lil Kim stans. But as long as the barbs keep supporting Nicki, there’s not much anyone can do to end her. Rap battles don’t mean much anymore. Jay lost to Nas but ended up having the better career. Life is funny that way.
Shether is better but Nicki ain’t going nowhere and none of this is going to help Remy’s career. From now on when she tries to book interviews, she will have to talk about Nicki. If I was a female rapper, that would hurt my pride more than anything else.
I’m satisfied with the outcome of this. Not necessarily a fan of Nicki’s tracks BUT the proof is in the pudding. Remy was so eager to beef but wasn’t smart enough to calculate her moves. And now??? *shrug* Nicki worked smarter, not harder.
I mean we’ve been here with Nicki before. I remember when Kim dropped Black Friday. Everyone swore up and down that would be it for Nicki and Nicki just went on to be even more successful. Meanwhile Kim really started to struggle. This is just a repeat of that. Kim won. Remy won but long term Nicki just becomes more successful. Her fans are loyal.
Remy is a bigger hater than she’s accusing Nicki of being. She’s not smart and her husband has steered her into the wrong direction. Now watch Cardi B blow up and end up what Remy could have been if she was smarter. If Nicki and Cardi collab gagging.
I think strategically if you want to be successful, Will Smith said it best, you got to be able to get in the homes of the kids especially the white kids. They will be your loyal fans and they will keep your pockets full. The barbs has successfully done that by getting in the homes of youngsters and is able to stay there. Her fans are loyal and they aren’t going no where. They are like the Bey hive fans.
I won’t lie I did twerk a little ?
Nicki’s songs, including the Remy response will get played for years, not just one week…well played.
Both rappers have a different voice and way of flowing and that is what makes Nicki sooooo unique. You will never have to figure out who she is when you hear her record. Remy has a hard voice and a harder flow. So when you have 2 different flows one will sound weaker than the other. It is the words however that you are addressing and for me, I think Nicki addressed them. I think she heard the song, dissected Remy’s vs. and responded to each of them in order. She did it strategically and at the end, she won. Battles are not going to be like they were years ago so people should just let that go. I hate to say it to say it but it’s like the episode on Empire. Freda Gatz had the better vs but Hakeem had the better show, money and fanbase. Remy may have stepped in a territory too soon because she doesn’t have the same type of fanbase. She just isn’t there yet.
And just like that she bounced back. Glad she showed and proved like I knew she would.
Oddly enough I never liked Nicki until Remy came for her. I honestly don’t like it when people gang up on one person. It’s like everyone wants her to fall off so bad and that doesn’t sit well with me. I’ve never been the jealous girl growing up and I’m not about to support one now. And it doesn’t take a genius to see Remy has been coming for Nicki for years. She was even rapping about her and taking shots at her in prison. So Team Nicki I guess.
Right on time for the hot months.
Rap beefs are entertaining but what do they really give artists besides bragging rights? I think Remy should put more of her focus into her actual music and not just dissing Nicki. Cause at the end of the day, none of this is going to stop Nicki’s coins or success. Her fans really don’t care. Remy needs to focus on herself and making a name for herself outside of all of this because her little “Remy Mafia” ain’t buying her music. They need to do more than hyping her up on Twitter and Instagram.
Fact…Nicki bought her songs to make them #1 on the charts. Facts!!!! Smoke and mirrors.
If thinking this helps you sleep better at night, great. But the question is, why aren’t you Nicki haters, I mean Remy fans, buying her music? What’s your excuse?
