On a peaceful Saturday evening, rapper Remy Ma chose to discharge a diss track coming at Nicki Minaj called "shETHER," and it is… wooo kid.
But before we get into it, some context: Remy Ma has been around since 2006 when she released There’s Something About Remy: Based on a True Story. Though you may know her for the hit song “Lean Back” with the group she’s a part of, Terror Squad.

She’s also married to the rapper Papoose. And on August 1st, 2014 Remy was released from jail after serving six years for assaulting a friend, and has been making music with Terror Squad since, including the platinum single “All The Way Up.”
Nicki and Remy have a bit of a history. In June of 2016, things seemed peaceful…
But later in the year, Remy released “Wait a Minute (Remix)” — and many people thought some of the lyrics were meant to knock Nicki, though she was never called out by name. Those lyrics in question include: “Will I smoke this bitch? / Yes” and “That ghostwriter ’bout to call her / That lifeline getting shorter / R.I.P. Biggie Smalls, why the f*ck they ain’t want her”
BUT THEN. On Friday, Gucci Mane released “Make Love” featuring Nicki, and it’s pretty evident she’s talking about Remy. Its goes: “Oooohhh, oh you the qu-e-e-the queen of this here? One platinum plaque, album flopped, bitch, where? (bitch, where?)”
Then about an hour later, Remy released the 6 minute plus diss track of vicious-ness called “shETHER.”
The entire song is directed at Nicki, but some lyrics to note: “You was screaming ‘Free Remy’ when I was upstate doomed /But now that they freed Remy, you don’t sing the same tune,” and, “How are you on the VMAs acting like you hood? / Way across the stage, talking ‘bout ‘Miley, what’s good?’ / That’s Hannah Montana, she was always happy / You only fronted on Mariah ‘cause Mariah don’t carry / Tried to disrespect Taylor ‘cause Taylor wasn’t Swift enough,” among many, many others.
And if you pay attention closely, you’ll notice that Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj are modeling their diss off one of rap’s most infamous beef’s: Nas and JAY Z.

Pinkprint, Nicki Minaj’s third studio album, is a nod to JAY Z’s Blueprint. Remy’s diss track is called “sheTHER,” a play on the word “Ether” that is consequentially the title of the diss track in which Nas targets JAY Z.
An hour after the song dropped, Nicki “responded” with this Instagram:
