Remy Ma found herself on the receiving end of some fierce internet backlash when she said she doesn’t classify Doja Cat as a rapper during a recent appearance on Drink Champs.  

However, the Bronx native says her comments were taken out of context, and she was actually paying Doja a compliment. Remy Ma clarified her remarks during an interview with Black Compass Media while discussing her plans to create opportunities for female rappers with her new battle rap league Chrome 23.  

When Remy revealed she’s already working on “a couple of prospects” from the industry, host Tone Bro quipped, “You tryna line up Doja Cat?”  

However, it got a little awkward for the hosts who tried to change the subject after Remy Ma responded, “Don’t even bring her up. I thought I was giving [her] a compliment,” she added, referring to her past remarks. “Her whole entourage or fan base came for my life. I was like, ‘I thought I said something good!’” Check out the conversation below. 



While Remy Ma also called her “dope,” she’s not alone in questioning how to categorize the Grammy-award-winning artist. Nonetheless, Doja Cat has always considered herself a Hip-Hop kid at heart, and recently revealed her upcoming album will be rap-centered.
