Remy Ma has tried to clarify her recent comments about Doja Cat, which prompted criticism from fans.
Remy Ma thought she was being complimentary about Doja Cat when she claimed she's not a rapper.
The 42-year-old star irked fans of the 'Juicy' hitmaker earlier this year, when she argued that Doja shouldn't be considered a rap artist.
Speaking to Black Compass, Remy explained: "I thought I was giving [her] a compliment. Her whole entourage or fan base came for my life. I was like, ‘I thought I said something good!'"
Remy angered fans in March when she questioned Doja being nominated in the rap categories at the Grammy Awards.
She said at the time: "I don’t think she’s a rapper. Let’s be clear with that. They put her in the rapper category, I don’t think she’s a rapper. But she makes dope records, and I think she’s dope."
Meanwhile, Doja recently voiced her admiration for Nicki Minaj, admitting she still looks towards the rap star for inspiration and guidance.
She explained: "I think her as a businesswoman really inspired me.
"The way Nicki can carry herself felt almost alien to me, because I was kind of a little runty kid, trapped in her room, just watching YouTube videos. And back then I was like, ‘Damn, that’s dope.'"
Doja - whose real name is Amala Dlamini - also recognises the importance of being authentic with her fans.
She shared: "There’s no formula to win, but I think there’s a formula to lose.
"If you don’t believe in what you’re doing, people aren’t stupid - they’re going to pick up on that real quick. You just have to believe in yourself. It really sounds like some s*** out of 'The SpongeBob Movie', but it’s true."
