‘Give It Up Already’: Remy Ma Fans Slam Brittney Taylor for New Papoose Assault Claims

It looks like “Love and Hip Hop: New York” actress Brittney Taylor contradicted her original statement against Remy Ma following their alleged physical altercation.

A few months ago, the 30-year-old reality TV star claimed Remy sucker punched her in the eye while backstage at a New York charity event. She even went as far as pressing charges and filing a lawsuit against the rap diva.

It’s been months since Taylor or Remy addressed the alleged incident, but all of that changed after a screenshot of a post — one supposedly from Taylor on her private “close friends” Instagram channel — was leaked, a post claiming that Remy’s husband Papoose was Taylor’s actual attacker.

“I have the video,” the screenshot read. “Papoose is a B–ch for toching me and he’s a B–ch for making his wife take the wrap for it! SMFH!!! Nigga really knocked me out bro! S–t making me sick to my soul.”

Taylor’s apparent message instantly raised some eyebrows. If it is indeed true, then her initial story brazenly blaming Remy for assault is full of inconsistencies. The “LHHNY” actress is facing backlash for her supposed comments all over social media.

“Wtf, girl! 🙄 she lied to the police .. at the end of the day her case will be thrown out cuz she lied !”

“I’m sick of her! Girl which one is it🙄😑 you said rely blacked your eye know it’s pap… you tryna get a settlement since love and hip hop dropped you”

“Sis it’s over give it up already! Why the hell would Pap hit you chile when he has a daughter around yo age and a whole damn wife!!!!! GIRL BYE, NEXT LIE 😑”

The State of the Culture host has maintained her innocence since Taylor initially accused her of punching her in April. Remy was even charged a month later with assault in the third degree and one count of harassment in the second degree.

Taylor claimed the alleged incident took place after she “defended” Dejanae Mackie, Papoose’s daughter, from being assaulted by a man while they were supposedly in Miami for spring break earlier this year.

Both Taylor and Remy appeared in court on September 26 about the alleged assault and when the “Conceited” rapper’s attorney brought up the post, Taylor’s lawyer said that it was doctored.

Neither Remy nor Papoose has addressed Taylor’s latest allegations.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
