‘I Opened My Big Mouth’: Papoose Says Remy Ma Is Not Pregnant Again, Says People Misinterpreted What He Said

Papoose is cleaning up the tea he spilled about his family having a new addition.

A clip of Papoose’s interview with radio host Jenny Boom Boom was posted to social media on Tuesday, Oct. 20, and he gave some context to a statement he said earlier this year about him and Remy having another child.  

After explaining Remy Ma’s in vitro fertilization process, the New York native revealed how fans confused his statement as an announcement from him of Remy Ma being pregnant. He said, “At the time when I made the announcement, you know my wife had woke up one day and said “hey I’m ready now” you know since this COVID thing, we locked in. I don’t think its going to stop me from working. Let’s do it.”

He explained that they went to the same doctor that they went to when they did the first IVF process before conceiving their last child, Reminisce Mackenzie Mackie, whom they also call their “Golden Child.”

 “When we started the procedure, I was so excited and I opened my big mouth, you know what I’m saying and I said something about it. People who, you know, not knowing how the procedure goes, that there are steps you have to take. They took it as she was already carrying our child. But what I was expressing was ‘yo we’re having the next baby. She’s ready.’ ”

He also revealed that in the beginning of the last process they had two embryos set aside, one was the “Golden Child” and the other was their son. Remy Ma initially wanted to put them both in so she could have twins, but Papoose didn’t want to do that because having twins is “very risky” with IVF.

Updating fans on how the process is currently going, the 42 year old said, “Now it’s kind of on hold for now. But we did start the process, we did sit down with our doctor and you know, we started the procedure. So like I said it’s on hold for now.”

Back in July, Papoose appeared as a guest on Fox Soul’s “Out Loud With Claudia Jordan.” While being asked how he was doing during the pandemic, he said, “I love being with my family. I get to spend so much time with my amazing wife and my amazing daughter. I’m just making the best out of it, and we’re moving forward.”

He continued, “We’re going to have another child real soon.”

Remy and Papoose have one child together, but have more children from previous relationships. Remy Ma has one son and Papoose has three children.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
