The first time i heard Remy Ma was on Fat Joe's lean back song, and she was really dope. I thought she was super dope and i expected more, but, afterwards, i don't think she put in enough work to be considered a name to reckon with in the industry. Of cos she was popularly; there was no nicki minaj, and other female rappers (apart from lil kim) were just lay back, so it wasn't obvious that she wasn't working hard enough. So, when i heard she was beefing Fat Joe because he didn't help make her album successful, i confirmed that she was one of the type that like to shift blame on the next man when things don't go according to plan. Fat Joe has come forward to talk about how he feels about her, and why she hurt him so bad.
"I don't keep in contact with Remy," Joe revealed in an interview. "Me and Remy, we fell out. All I did for that girl was help her; make her rich; took her from the projects, single parent mom; put her on hit records; [and she] toured across the world with us. She was down with us, had a different car for every day of the week. When her album came out and it didn't do as good as she anticipated, she wanted to blame somebody. See, me, I don't run away. During my successes or my failures, I put it on me. You can't find an interview where I'm standing there talking about, 'Yo, this executive' [...] some people don't understand it's not an overnight success for everybody. It's a grind. It's happened for me. I make a great living -- a lot of artists make a great living. But, she, you know, she was getting real disrespectful with me and real disrespectful towards my family on the radio. I could never forgive Remy Martin. She really hurt my feelings." (XXL Mag)
I don't know why all the people Fat Joe helped (cuban links, tony sunshine..) are now going against him; i guess that's just his luck. I think the situation is the same way beanie sigel feels towards Jay-Z and the same way J-Hood feels towards kiss, styles and sheek...i guess people always like to have someone to point to when their careers don't do so good. But, i think it is all a matter of hard work and focus. As long as someone can sign you, and give you ample opportunity to blow up, you do not have any reason to blame the person for your short-comings.
I remember when Papoose and fat joe. had that beef back in 2008. Papoose and Remy had gotten on the radio with 50 cent, and started laughing at some jokes that 50 cent was making about fat joe. And at that time, remy ma was already beefing with Joe, so it only translated that they were riding with 50 against fat joe. It was just a pity how 50 used them to get at joe.
