‘She Don’t Play About Her Dada’: Remy Ma’s 1-Year-Old Daughter Puts the ‘Paws on’ Her After She Gets Too Close to Papoose

It’s safe to say Remy Ma and Papoose‘s daughter Reminisce MacKenzie is a total daddy’s girl.

The “Melanin Magic” rapper, 38, took to Instagram on Sunday, June 21 with a video that showed herself, baby Reminisce and her husband celebrating Father’s Day. Papoose, 42, was holding the 1-year-old in his arms when Remy walked over to give him a kiss on the cheek.

“No!” the toddler yelled and whimpered. When Remy leaned in again, baby Reminisce hugged her father tightly and pushed her mother away. At one point in the video, baby Reminisce even smacked her mother on the cheek before playing coy.

Remy acted shocked by her daughter’s actions and jokingly said, “I don’t want neither one of y’all little crusty kisses.” It was clear the rap diva’s feelings were hurt just a little bit.

Nevertheless, she still penned a beautiful message to her husband on Instagram and wrote, “I’ve never in my life saw a man so happy to be a father. The entire pregnancy you were smiling from ear to ear and documenting EVERYTHING! BOTH, I and @ReminisceMacKenzie are in love with you LOL 💋 Thank you for being a great father to our baby and all our grown kids as well. We love you Daddy🥰 #BLACKLOVE #MeetTheMackies #RemyMa #RealFathersExist.”

Social media users were in stitches over Remy’s video, adding that baby Reminisce is unabashedly a daddy’s girl.

Baby Reminisce is Papoose and Remy’s only child together, and they welcomed her in December 2018.

The “Golden Child” rapper has three children from a previous relationship, and Remy also has a son.

The second-time mother and Papoose couldn’t be more thankful for their daughter. In a May 28 post about her daughter, Remy wrote, “One of my proudest accomplishments🥰 With all the ugliness in the world I can say I am so grateful to wake up to this little bundle of beautiful.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
