Remy Ma fired back at her critics on April 10 with a new track, “W.Y.F.L.,” a release that lands squarely in the middle of her breakup with Papoose. She announced the song on Instagram with a short message: “W.Y.F.L …out now on all platforms! #RemThePen Wait for what?! Link in bio 😎”
The track rides on DJ Mac and CrashDummy’s viral “WYFL Riddim,” but Remy flips the acronym into “Why You Fucking Lying,” and she uses the song to push back at claims that others wrote for her. On the record, she raps, “The nerve of n***as claiming they wrote those hits / When they whole career they ain’t never ghost wrote shit / Not for me or anybody else / You always act like you helped a n***a, go help yourself.”
The release matters because the argument over who wrote what has followed Remy for years. In 2006, Papoose said he wrote her hit “Conceited,” and last year he went further on an Instagram Live, saying he wrote “90 percent of the rhymes that came out of [his wife’s] mouth.” Remy’s new song answers those claims without naming him outright, and another line appears to jab at his new relationship with Claressa Shields: “In competition with herself, I don't know that bitch / Hoes be doing the most over so-so dick / Wanna be a baddie but you not bad enough.”
The breakup has turned public and ugly. Remy has accused Papoose of stalling their divorce plans, while he has accused her of cheating. Claressa Shields has also shared her side of the feud as the allegations have grown. That makes “W.Y.F.L.” more than a comeback single: it is Remy putting her version of the fight on record while the personal dispute continues to spill into public view.
She is not taking the conversation around her writing down, and the response from her circle suggests the record has landed. Fat Joe reposted the track on Instagram and wrote, “Sheezus Christ @remyma is backkkkk 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.” Memphis Bleek, Murda Mook, Mia X and Millyz also weighed in with fire emojis. For now, the answer to the question Remy raised on the song is plain enough: she is back, and she is using the mic to push back at the story others have told about her.
