Reports have trickled in regarding a “media shut down” of Remy Ma’s Shether [Nicki Minaj diss].
At the time of this report, the song had been pulled from SoundCloud, iTunes, Spotify, and other streaming services.
The Universal Music Group owns the rights to Ether, the Nas song which inspired Remy’s lethal lyrical assault.
Sources said that the label, Universal Music Group which also owns Republic, where Nicki is signed through Young Money/Cash Money, had an issue with Remy using Nas’ legendary song “Ether” to make her new song.
Remy Ma is accused of not seeking the right permissions before using the Ether instrumentals.
Remy’s shether charted on iTunes and was sold on the internet.
According to reports, not only is the song banished from the airwaves and the Internet, but Remy is not even allowed to perform the song live.
Remy has however expressed that she is not proud of the diss song but has no regrets making it.
“Anybody that knows me knows that I embrace females […] I think we work so much better when we work together and when we help each other […] However, in the event that you piss me off and we become archenemies, run for cover.” It just bothers me that this record that I put out where it’s literally picking apart a female went so viral, and every media outlet wants to talk about it and pick it up; I feel like we could’ve done the same thing working together,” she said on the podcast. “I just personally think it would’ve been so much cooler…if we came together and made something crazy […] It could’ve been totally different. I don’t regret [“Shether”], but I’m not particularly proud of it.” Remy Ma said.
Meanwhile Nicki Minaj tapped up Young Money affiliates Drake and Lil Wayne for her new single which dropped on Friday called “No Frauds”.
