Reminisce “Remy Ma” Smith had her first interview since her release from prison with Hot 97’s Funkmaster Flex, Saturday (August 2).
Following her first post-prison musical offering, “They Don’t Love You No More (Remix),” the Bronx rapper called up none other than one of New York’s leading radio stations to discuss new projects, what she hopes to accomplish, would like to see happen amongst females in Hip-Hop, her current state-of-mind, Terror Squad, Fat Joe and much more.
In light of The Ruler’s return, we present eight things we learned from Hot 97’s Remy Ma interview. Peep the rundown.

Extreme Happiness
Remy Ma had this to say about finally being freed: “I’m excited, I’m happy. I’m extremely happy. I’m blessed; God allowed me to get another chance at what I love to do and everyone’s been super, uber supportive.”
Independent
Remy hasn’t signed with anyone yet. “I’ve been talking to Khaled since I was still incarcerated, and he has a lot of great ideas and things he would like to do. I didn’t sign with anyone yet,” she said. “I don’t know where I wanna sign yet. I just know I go so much sh*t I wanna say, and so much great songs that I think the world need to hear.”
Production Dream-Team
Remy also talked with Flex about a dream project with IT producers, Swizz Beatz and DJ Mustard leading the pack.
Girl-Fight
“What I think happens with females in this game, they tend to allow other people to pit us against each other. I’ve said this before. They make it seem like there can only be one female,” said Remy when asked for her thoughts on female rappers today. “It can be a thousand guys that’s putting out music and rapping and doing what they do but when it comes to females in this hip-hop business, they make it seem like it can only be one, and if there’s more than one then, ‘Alright, y’all better be at each other’s throats every chance that you get.’”
Iggy Azalea x Nicki Minaj
“I think it would really be dope if we could get like a ill chick record with everybody who’s doing what they’re doing right now. Me, maybe Iggy Azalea, Nicki, like just do like a nice little collabo,” she said to Flex.
Terror Squad
Albeit Remy Ma has made amends with Fat Joe and wishes him all the best, she is no longer affiliated with Terror Squad.
Lessons Learned
Egos and pride played huge roles in the beef between Bronx duo Remy and Joey Crack. “I defintely belive that communication could have fixed so many things that happened between us,” explained the rapper. “But we both had our ‘well I’m Fat Joe’ and ‘I’m Rem.'”
No Shade
Contrary to popular belief, Remy has received nothing but love from female rappers all around. From old school to new school to legends to up and comers, she’s gotten nothing but positive reinforcement about her coming back to Hip-Hop.
