Remy Ma sparked a hot internet discussion when she told Drink Champs that Doja Cat is not a rapper. During a recent interview with Black Compass media, one of the show's hosts made a joke about the "controversy" surrounding Doja Cat, and the Terror Squad rapper made it clear where she felt on the matter.
As Remy was talking about wanting to bring more female rappers into the battle rap space, the host shouted, "Yo Remy, you tryna line up Doja Cat?," obviously trying to rile her up in a joking manner.
Remy quickly replied, "Don't even bring her up. I thought I was giving [her] a compliment. Her whole entourage or fan base came for my life. I was like, 'I thought I said something good!'"
In March, when speaking with Drink Champs co-hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, Emy Ma stirred a Twitter discussion. As soon as N.O.R.E. referred to the "Say So" performer as a "rapper," Remy Ma responded, "I don't think she's a rapper. Let's be clear with that. They put her in the rapper category, I don't think she's a rapper. But she makes dope records, and I think she's dope."
While she clearly praised Doja Cat, it was also apparent why some would not like what she said.
Hateful comments started to flew in, with one making the quip, "Y'all have to understand where Remy Ma is coming from. She grew up in a time where artists were rapping, not singing."

Another said, "Remy Ma saying Doja Cat isnt a rapper just pissed me off. Bitch are YOU a rapper? What was the last song YOU released?"
Just weeks later, Doja Cat won a Grammy Award in the Best Pop Doja Cat won a Grammy for "Kiss Me More" starring SZA in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, but not for Best Rap Song, Best Melodic Rap Performance, or Best Rap anything.
Doja Cat has always maintained that she is a rapper. If she says she is, then how can another say she's not? As she tweeted in 2021, "DONT EVER FUCKIN DISRESPECT ME AS A RAPPER," Doja tweeted at the time "AFTER THE LAST SONG I DROPPED YOU WILL RESPECT MY PEN AND THATS FUCKIN THAT. stream Very Best."
If anything, it is evident that Remy Ma has grown weary of the issue, while Doja Cat recently announced that her upcoming album will consist "primarily" of rap.
