Remy Ma is a Role Model

Posted by Bossip Staff

Remy Ma Village Voice

Remy Ma is on the cover of the New York publication The Village Voice

and discusses many topics (of course not her case) including her experience when she was locked up after shooting her friend in the abdomen:

“First of all, it wasn’t my first time. It was my first time as Remy Ma. Big difference. First of all, I saw this chick I grew up with when I was in there. I’m in a cell next to this bitch I hate my whole fu*king life. She asked me, ‘What are you doing in here?’ “Me: ‘Same thing you’re doing here.’ Then this other chick was talking mad sh*t: ‘You’re supposed to be a fu*king role model. You should be ashamed of yourself.’ Me: ‘Where’s your kids?’ Woman: ‘My fu*king kids look up to you.’ Me: ‘Your fu*king daughter should look up to you! What fu*king type of role model are you?’

“The guard was like, ‘Remy, don’t listen to them. They just want to be able to say they spoke to you.’ After that, the [officers] wanted autographs. The chick that was cleaning up, she wants to be a rapper. She brought me a book to read. . . . A lot of the girls were really humble and nice.”

Sounds like a great role model to us…

    Remy needs to get her sh*t together


  2. ROFLMAO Remy is a fool! But she was right on with that though……..


  3. She has a point though. Why are those broads having a rapper be a role model?


  4. Yo this remy chick is one ignorant, uneducated, low life who is poisoning young girls minds, they do look up to that stupid shit..I saw it all the time where i grew up. These rap mutha-fuc-as need to understand they areinfluenceing a nation! DUMB FUCK!

  5. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    *yawn*

  6. I'm sayin

    WOW, it’s sad to think our girls would look up to THIS as a “role model”. LAWD JESUS…

  7. iluvprada

    I second that *yawn*

  8. amazonia

    ‘My fu*king kids look up to you.’ Me: ‘Your fu*king daughter should look up to you! What fu*king type of role model are you?’

    Wow!!! That conversation was as ghetto as it gets.

    Oh Sorry. I mean, that fucking conversation was as ghetto as it gets.

  9. Mo'Ree

    wow i didn’t know the word *fu&king* could be strung together so coherently…great job!

  11. beingathugiscornyandplayedout

    I think this chick is delusional. Do people really know who she is? She had like 1/2 a hit record and now all the guards and inmates want to talk to her and want her autograph? Come on. She’s broke and busted. She’s only got 1/2 a hit more than I do. What nonsense.

  12. Harlem Chic

    Pure ignancy.

  13. luvchild

    ignorance begets ignorance

    meaning ‘full circle of stupidty’

    smh

  14. Lady Architect

    she sounds very stupid…who would wanna interview her…she’s of no importance.

  15. luvchild

    ^^^ i could change it but i dont feel like it

    ps pray for the children

  16. JPEEZY

    That lady needs to point her daughter in another direction other than having Remy Ma as a damn role model…but then again…her ass is in jail too. Parents need to stop putting pressure on rappers and put more pressure on themselves to be the role models in their kids’ lives. No matter what a rapper says in their rhymes, who they shoot or who they say they shot, it is up to the parent to be a parent. They are the ones who are supposed to be the role models for their children first and formost. Remy was right about that, ya’ll gotta give her that shit. No parent can stop their child from wanting to be like somebody else, whether it be Remy Ma or Marilyn Manson…but they’re the ones who need to educate their kids about the lifestyles these people live in hopes that their kids will make the right choices and understand that they ain’t Remy. period.

  17. Lorna (London Girl)

    When I have kids I want them to have the same stinking attitude she does……..

    Can’t beat a little sarcasm

  18. Bernie

    I just don’t know what else to say about these dumb ass rappers and the women in this game are just as stupid, low-life, uneducated ghetto thugs as the men. I will be so glad when all of these fools die out. Remy Ma, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, send all these stupid ugly trannys back to Jamaica were their folks came from, because most true-to-life, African American women, don’t act like them. And I don’t care if she was born in New York, she is still not one of us, let her and the others go back to the island where they can run wild like the animals they are.

  19. Cover Girl

    I SAY THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WHY DO PARENTS PUT THEIR KIDS OFF ON OTHER PEOPLE. WHY SHOULD ANYONE HAVE TO ACT A CERTAIN WAY BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE KIDS ARE WATCHING THEM. WHAT PARENTS NEED TO LEARN IS DON’T LET ANYONE BE A ROLE MODEL TO YOUR KIDS BUT YOU. ESPECIALLY IF NONE OF THESE RAPPERS ARE EXCEPTING THAT ROLE MODEL TERM. WE ALWAYS WANT TO FAULT SOMEONE ELSES ACTIONS ON WHY OUR KIDS ACT THE WAY THEY DO. I SAY STOP IT AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN KIDS.

    IF YOUR CHILD SHOOTS SOMEONE IT’S THE RAPPERS WHO WERE TALKING ABOUT GUNS IN THEIR SONGS FAULT. NO. IT STARTS AT HOME. HOW ABOUT SPENDING MORE TIME WITH YOUR KIDS AND FINDING OUT WHAT’S GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES. SECONDLY IF YOU SEE WHAT’S CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM, RAP MUSIC, ETC. BUT ESPECIALLY BLACK PEOPLE WE TEND TO FAULT OTHERS FOR OUR KIDS ACTIONS. WELL DO WE FAULT KIDS WHO GO AND SHOOT UP A SCHOOL OR MOLEST CHILDREN, ETC DO WE FAULT BOOKS AND MOVIES FOR THESE ACTIONS CAUSE A LOT A NEGATIVE THINGS HAPPENS IN MOVIES AND BOOKS. OH AND NOT LETS FORGET ROCK AND ROLL THEY TALK ABOUT ALL KINDS OF EVIL SHIT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THOSE ARE YOUR KIDS AND NO ONE ELSE SO I DAMN SURE WOULDN’T BE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR OTHER PEOPLES KIDS. AND I GUESS IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT GIRLS SHAKING THEIR BOOTIES AND WANTING TO BECOME YOUNG SLUTS IS BEYONCES FAULT. BUT WE LOOK TO HER AS A ROLE MODEL ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE TIME SHE IS HALF NAKED AND BOOTY POPPING.

    LIKE REMY SAID THAT LADY SHOULD BE HER CHILD’S ROLE MODEL. BUT I GUESS IT’S TO MUCH FOR HER OWN PARENT YOU KNOW, CAUSE WHAT TYPE OF ROLE MODEL IS SITTING IN JAIL. SO LIKE I SAID AT FIRST IT STARTS AT HOME AND WITH A MOTHER IN JAIL NO TELLING WHAT TYPE OF TEENAGER SHE HAS, CAUSE SHE DAMN SURE AINT NO ROLE MODEL TO HER CHILD SO WHO WOULD SHE EXPECT HER TO LOOK UP TO? THE ANSWER IS A GANGSTA BYTCH LIKE HER MOTHER WHO IS SITTING IN JAIL FOR GOD KNOWS WHAT.


  20. HOE.SIT.DOWN.!

  21. Mary J Blige

    smh @ this chick. she shoulda stayed in school because i didn’t understand most of what she was trying to say. and she still look like a dude in a lacefront (that synthetic hair look a mess. she need some of that Korean finest from Mama Paulette’s Salon just off Getty Square, Yonkers). i bet she was some dyke’s bitch while she was inside, thats why saying all them chicks was nice & humble. my ass! she know she got broom handled in the showers. nasty ghetto butt

    lots of love,

    Mary

  22. Cover Girl

    I AGREE WITH JPEEZY

  23. JPEEZY

    go head cover girl!!!

  24. helltothanaw

    Off topic.. Thank gawd she got rid of that skunk streak in her fuckin’ hair!!! Anyways, JPEEZY, I couldn’t have said it better. You’re on point.

  25. Aphatty

    Is she on her way to Ballet Class??? I’m confused by her leo-fucking-tard.

  26. Baraba

    LMFAOOOOOO @ ‘MJB’. I just looked up broomhandling. EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.Mary you straight up wrong for that comment LOLLLLL

    ‘Broomhandling’ was the name given for the practice of penetrating an individual in the anal region with the end of a broom. Originates from a 1940s practice used against prisoners of war.

  27. Tanisha

    Cover Girl, you hit the nail right on the head! Why can’t parents be role models for their own kids? When I was growing up I listened to rap, but never did I want to be like any rapper. My mother and step father who went to work everyday to support our family were my role models. Our people need help so very badly. If children are our future and they are looking up to rappers for a positive role model, then our future looks pretty damn bleak to me.

  28. Detroit Murder Dog

    Remy Ma is a lousy rapper, a boring interview, an idiot and she’s not cute. She is the obligatory “girl rapper” in Terror Squad. Every rap crew needs a girl at some point, regardless of her rapping ability (see, e.g., Rah Digga, Terri B, Foxy Brown, etc). Can someone remind me why she is famous?

  29. Sun Goddess

    The caps looks like she yelling.

  30. Sun Goddess

    Do you know that most people have a hard time being self critical? Scarface said it best:

    “You’re all a bunch of assholes. You do not have the balls to be what the fuck you wanna be. You need people like me so you can point your fucking finger and say “that’s the bad guy”!

  31. Mary J Blige

    lol…so say goodnight to the bad guy. last time you gonna see a bad guy like this.

    what a great line Sun Goddess. me and my sister LaTonya used to sneak downstairs to watch that film late at nite. those were the days

  32. Trini Chica in BK

    I didn’t undertand anything she just said…Did you! Random

  33. Kay

    She looks like a ghetto gymnast!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

    I’d like to introduce you to a mentally retarded child who both knows how to get on the net…AND knows her colors

    retarded does not equal stupid!!!!!

    Having celebrities be role models are overrated. However celebrities being public figures they should be able to represent themselves the best way possible. Public figures should inspire people of all generations. But role model is different. Role model is someone that you know all around. Such as grandparents, parents, a friend of the family, someone that has been in your life long enough for you to accept their flaws and their goods. You only know celebrities for what they do and not as a person so how can they be a role model? Oprah is an good inspiration for all women even Susan B. Anthony but role model? No you only know them for their alturism and contributions not them as person. So with that said public figures/entertainers are not role models but can be considered inspirations. So Remy Ma was right however Remy Ma should clean up her act and be an adult for once in her life. She is still an idiot


  41. I got $1000 for the person that holds this idiot down and sews her mouth shut. This bitch should not be allowed to speak. EVER

  42. Mahogany

    My computer wouldn’t let me read the rest of her quote.

    I guess it knew I wouldn’t be able to stomach a Remy comment.

    That shit is better than spyware.

  43. Kim

    She looks kinda like NEW YORK! WHICH IS NOT A GOOD LOOK!!!


  44. Wow…just wow. Kids this is why you should stay in school…

  45. BB

    Bernie, please seek out the nearest knife, heat it up until it’s red-hot and insert it in your anus. Although I do have beef with most Jamaican’s I know, doesn’t mean you have the right to dump on island -people. Get out of the hood and.. You know what, why am I even responding to you, this is exactly what U want.

  46. NubianGoddez

    I don’t know which is more pathetic the fact that these women’s children’s look up to this clown, or the guards wanting her autograph. Jesus take the wheel indeed. I’ll say it once again it starts at home, if your children are looking up to celebrities, rappers and the like your not doing your job as a parent. turn off the damn tv and have them pick up a book!


  47. She needs to sit her man lookin’ ass down !

    I bet the seat of that funky ass body suit is crunchy !!! Where do they find these tack head bitches ?

  48. Fiddy

    this chick is tripin. She is no role model and I’m sure she was not comin out of her mouth like that!!! Those chickks in Rikers don’t have shit to lose, especially when you talk about someone’s kids and them not being there. I’d bet if she did say something like that to them her ass didn’t go out to eat meals or go to the yard for fresh air!! See, in jail these chicks stick together and I know they give celebs a hard time. Epecially a celeb who shot regular chick from the street!! She is crazy if she thinks anything that belongs to me ever thought her rapp game was on, she made a few hit rap songs and that’s it, she’s done!! Dumb-ass-bitches!!!

  49. ATL

    Who in da hell would look up to remay ma as a role model. she need t go sit down somewhere.

  50. Nita

    she’s the worst!

  51. me

    why is her criminal…i’m sorry…alleged criminal ass on anyone’s cover in a damn leotard made for six year olds no less? she sounds ignorant as hell and i sincerely hope, if she has kids, she has pointed them in another direction as far as role models are concerned. to remy and the other jailbird broad: get your daughters hip to michelle obama b/c idolizing the likes of you two will only get them in the cell next to you.

  52. joe

    we as a society glorify people for the wrong things, creating their celebrity and propelling them to this “role model” status. i think we need to focus on important character issues and not who can rhyme or shake their ass the best.

    it is clear that these celebrities are unwilling to accept their positionin the public’s eye and work on themselves rather than their craft. if this is the case, we shouldn’t support them.

    this means stop buying records, prodcuts, watching shoes (in sum, supporting) artist who drive drunk, kill people, buy guns, disobey the law, have sex with minors, etc.

    the consumers have the power. unfortunately 95% of us are idiots.

  53. just watchin

    smh @ the state of black women, get your shit together ladies….lmao….yea yea yea i generalized just a lil bit, but its the same tactic used by many females on this site, when applied to black men

  54. HOTSTUFF

    She does have a point…I think her hair and make up looks nice but what’s up with the damn leotard..and I bet she kept it 100%NY and is rocking timbs with that shit!!!! Gotta love her

    “alot of the girls were humble and nice”

    one can assume that she is NOT one of them

    its pretty sad because in a way she sounds like she may think that is cool, being in the slammer and stories that go along with it. What she needs to be saying is how that is no place anybody wants to be and how she is going to make sure that she stays out of trouble and she has learned her lesson. But, then she might be lying.

    @ Detroit Murder Dog

    Man…your statement about Remy being a “lousy rapper” U can’t be serious. I’m willing to bet that you never took the time to listen to Remy Ma’s “Something About Remy.” That chick got crazy skills!!! Throw looks and stupidity out the door, she is a beast compared to these other female rappers out there. Just listen…no beats just the “Hot 16″ U are guaranteed to be surprised!!!

  63. blakgirl

    85 percent of the people out there and in jail don’t know who Remy Ma is. She made that mess up. She’s trying to make herself look important. Just another self-delusional almost famous rapper.

  64. CEE

    SHE IS SO GHETTO….LOOKS LIKE SHE NEEDS TO SHAVE OR EITHER SHE HAS A PAD ON..WHATEVER IT IS IT’S NOT CUTE THOUGH AND NEITHER IS SHE……DEFINITELY NOT A ROLE MODEL FAR FROM IT…..GHETTO AS HELL.

  65. Lady K

    Remy ain’t even a good role model to her own child let alone someone elses

  66. The Goddess

    What are you doing in here?’ “Me: ‘Same thing you’re doing here.’ Then this other chick was talking mad sh*t: ‘You’re supposed to be a fu*king role model. You should be ashamed of yourself.’ Me: ‘Where’s your kids?’ Woman: ‘My fu*king kids look up to you.’ Me: ‘Your fu*king daughter should look up to you! What fu*king type of role model are you?’

    Haha! Remy Got her ass!!! But seriously, thou. What is going on with these rapper chicks? First Lil Kim, then Foxy Brown and Remy Ma….too stupid to be forreal. Only Lil Kim could pull that type of shit off and get almost a slap on the wrist b/c she know enough ppl with some pull..even if they’re designers they know ppl. Foxy and Remy better sit tight and call that concrete block home for some years.

  67. lacyd

    Never mind her ridiculous ranting, anyone else notice how one toned her hair is??? That’s just amazing to me, no blond bangs. I mean WOW!!!

  74. Tash

    @ bernie the idiot………

    what the fuck are u talking about?

  75. Ro Ro

    Yeah Remy was right about not being a role model for anyones kids but that bitch still dumb as hell. First of all, “It was not my first time..first time as Remy Ma…”

    Sounds like she is actually proud of that shit and is gonna try and boost her next album sales with that mumbo jumbo. Guess her and Foxy gonna colab on some shit. Loser bitches….Realize that u are not cool, u ain’t thorough…U are a FOOL. If I was her momma, I would kick her ass everyday.
