Remy Ma has sparked widespread reaction with her new “W.Y.F.L.” freestyle, a track that fans believe includes pointed disses aimed at her ex-husband Papoose and his girlfriend, boxing champion Claressa Shields.
The Bronx rapper debuted the freestyle on the platform “On The Radar” on April 10, immediately drawing attention for its sharp tone and direct language. Early in the track, Remy delivers lines that listeners quickly began dissecting, including references to someone being “in competition with herself” and critiques aimed at a woman she suggests is trying to measure up but falling short. The lyrics fueled speculation online, with many fans pointing to Claressa Shields as the possible target.
As the freestyle continues, Remy appears to address long-standing claims from Papoose regarding her music. During a livestream the previous year, Papoose alleged that he had written the majority of her lyrics throughout her career. In response, Remy uses the track to push back against that narrative, rapping about men claiming credit for work they did not do and rejecting the idea that anyone else wrote her material.
The release arrives amid a highly publicized shift in the former couple’s relationship. Remy Ma and Papoose first met in 2004 and built a bond that continued through significant challenges. In 2008, while Remy was serving a prison sentence connected to a 2007 shooting incident, the two married over the phone. They later held an official ceremony in 2016 following her release and welcomed their daughter, Reminisce Mackenzie, in 2018.
Their relationship began to unravel years later. By 2024, reports surfaced linking Papoose to Claressa Shields, a decorated boxer widely recognized in the sport. The situation became increasingly public, culminating in Papoose filing for divorce in May 2025, citing infidelity. Later that year, in November, Shields confirmed that she and Papoose were engaged.
Since then, the breakdown of the marriage has continued to unfold in the public eye, with both personal and professional tensions spilling into headlines. Remy Ma’s “W.Y.F.L.” freestyle adds another chapter to that ongoing narrative, with its lyrics amplifying the speculation surrounding her current stance on both Papoose and Shields.
As the track circulates, fans continue to analyze the bars and connect them to the evolving dynamics between the three figures at the center of the story.
