Remy Ma Surprise-Drops 6-Track 'Alimony' EP — And the Title Says It All
Remy Ma didn't just drop music — she dropped a whole divorce soundtrack. The surprise 6-track 'Alimony' EP, led by 'Why I Get Married?' featuring Keke Wyatt, lands squarely in the middle of her split from Papoose, and the title alone has the internet doing math.

Remy Ma woke up Friday and chose chaos — the productive kind.
The Bronx rapper surprise-dropped Alimony, a six-track, 19-minute EP released September 25 through Reminisce Records, DNA Music Group, and Hitmaker Distro. Nobody had it on the calendar as a project; fans were expecting one song and got six. And that title? During an active divorce from Papoose? Yeah, she knew exactly what she was doing.
THE TRACKLIST READS LIKE BREAKUP CHAPTERS
The six songs: "Rem The Pen," "Cry In The Wraith" (featuring Tink), "Who Raised You?" (featuring Roe), "Why I Get Married?" (featuring Keke Wyatt), "Altar," and "W.Y.F.L." Production comes from Hitmaka, Ron Browz, Platinum Sellers, Juice Dukes, DJ Mac, and Crash Dummy — a lineup that gives the project real weight, not just gossip value.
The lead single, "Why I Get Married?" featuring Keke Wyatt, arrived with an official video directed by Dom Bruno. The visual walks through the stages of a marriage: Remy shopping for a wedding dress with friends, sipping champagne — a gown that looks an awful lot like the one from her 2015 televised ceremony — and then, the money shot: she sets the wedding dress on fire. Subtle? Never met her.
"REM THE PEN" REOPENS OLD BEEF TOO
If you thought this EP was only about Papoose, Remy had other plans. On the opener "Rem The Pen," she revisits one of hip-hop's most storied feuds:
"I rock with Cardi and Lil' Kim, me n Nicki will probably never speak again, but even that bitch told y'all I got a pen."
One verse, two storylines. That's the Remy Ma experience.
A "CONVERSATION BETWEEN WOMEN"
Remy told Complex the project is meant to feel like "a conversation between women" — the kind where you call your girls, look in the mirror, and ask, "girl, what are we doing?" Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you learn, but you keep moving. She said she wanted to put her energy into the music instead of answering every conversation people have been having about her.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Alimony lands after weeks of public back-and-forth: Papoose's "Jezebel" single, leaked phone-call audio, and the viral "did you get the Zelle?" / "I ain't get the Zelle" exchange that had timelines in a chokehold. Husband and wife trading diss records in real time — hip-hop has genuinely never seen a divorce play out quite like this.
The question now: does Papoose answer on wax, or does Alimony stand as the last word? Either way, Remy made sure her side of the story comes with a beat behind it.
