Papoose Drops ‘Jezebel,’ a Remy Ma Diss Record

Papoose returned on September 11, 2026 with ‘Jezebel’, accompanied by an official video from directors Tana and Will C StreetHeat. Raised in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, Shamele Mackie first emerged on Kool G Rap’s 1998 Roots of Evil, later establishing his reputation through a prolific mixtape run, most notably with the intricate ‘Alphabetical Slaughter’. After winning the 2005 Justo Mixtape Award for Best Underground Artist, he secured a reported $1.5 million deal with Jive in 2006, though his debut album The Nacirema Dream arrived independently in 2013, peaking at No. 97 on the Billboard 200. Subsequent projects You Can’t Stop Destiny (2015), Underrated (2019), and Endangered Species (2020) reaffirmed his commitment to lyricism, as did a 2021 series of monthly EPs. Papoose married Remy Ma in 2008, later joining her on Love & Hip Hop: New York.

Produced by Sean2 Miles, ‘Jezebel’ serves as a pointed response to Remy Ma’s ‘W.Y.F.L.’ and ‘Wanna Go’. The chorus circles back to the title, while the verses catalogue prison visits, mailed letters, bond payments, and ongoing financial support. Papoose levels accusations of infidelity with a “fake Papoose,” a reference widely linked to battle rapper Eazy the Block Captain, and asserts he remained silent to focus on raising their daughter. He further claims authorship of her raps, including material associated with ‘Conceited’, and characterizes her as a narcissist with an angelic facade. The video arrived alongside the single, following a September 11 divorce hearing that left the case unresolved.

The single now stands alongside Remy Ma’s forthcoming Keke Wyatt collaboration ‘Why I Get Married’ and the ongoing public discourse surrounding Claressa Shields. ‘Jezebel’ trades rapid-fire punchlines for a sustained narrative of support and alleged betrayal, prompting some listeners to interpret it as both wounded and confrontational. With the release, the personal dispute has shifted into the music itself.
