#BBB NEWS| Foxy Brown To Release A Diss Track Aimed Toward Remy Ma?!? [AUDIO]

Foxy Brown is the latest artist to release a diss track, this one aimed at Remy Ma. After the latter emcee unveiled “shETHER” against Nicki Minaj, listeners picked up on a line that they assumed was a jab at Brown.

The lyrics in question: “I kill rappers/ And you good as dead, bi**h/ Talking s**t about me to a deaf bi**h/ And usually I have sympathy for the impaired/ But not when you hard of hearin’ from untreated gonorrhea.”

The Brooklynite laid her verse over Jay Z’s “Takeover” instrumental, which was originally released as a slight to Nas, who then returned with “Ether.” Within the snippet, Brown takes aim at Remy’s time at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, name-dropped Papoose, and backed Nicki Minaj. “I’m on my ’96 s**t/Got the DNA of Hova/ And Nick my bi**h/ But bi**h I’m sayin’/I’m where the carcass layin’,” Brown raps. The pair have traded lyrical blows since 2004.

#BBB NEWS| Lil Kim Weighs In On Rift Between Remy Ma And Nicki Minaj

Lil’ Kim landed in the center of a rumor this past weekend concerning Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj. Now, the legendary Hard Core artist sets the record straight in a recent interview with Billboard.

This past weekend, Remy Ma released a no-holds-barred track aimed at Nicki Minaj titled “shETHER,” after the Barb seemingly took jabs at the Bronx rapper in “Make Love,” featuring Gucci Mane. This ignited a fiery beef between the two ladies on the mic, which Lil’ Kim plans to stay clear of.

“We all know the situation that’s going on with Remy and ol’ girl. That’s their situation and I have nothing to do with that,” the Brooklynite said. “They have a rumor out there like, ‘Kim is gonna do a diss track with Remy.’ First of all, let me tell you this. Number one: y’all giving ol’ girl too much credit. I’m not even thinking about that. I’m not even thinking about ol’ girl! I’m so far past that. That’s never on my mind. Ever. Ol’ girl has never been on my mind for a long a** time at all. So I hate the fact of that being in the equation.”

While Nicki Minaj continues to play it cool and not pay the Internet any attention, Remy Ma’s scathing “ShETHER” diss track still remains the topic of conversation.

Will Nicki respond? Can she respond? If she does, will it be any good? Are all the questions hip-hop fans want answers to. The only one who thinks Nick may have to take this L is ex-boyfriend and former collaborator Safaree Samuels.

TMZ caught up with Samuels on Tuesday (Feb. 28) to ask him his thoughts on Remy Ma’s diss track, and the 35-year-old said exactly what many have been thinking. “It’s probably the most disrespectful record I’ve ever heard in my life,” Samuels said. When asked if Nicki has any grounds to issue a lyrical retort, SB took a long pause and (suppressed a grin) before basically saying no.
