Remy Ma is back with new music. The Bronx rapper released her six-track EP Alimony on Sept. 25.
The project gives fans a closer look at her life and thoughts. It also includes a notable mention of Nicki Minaj. Remy says she made Alimony to feel like a conversation between women. The songs touch on love, relationships, hard choices and personal growth.
Remy Ma puts her life into Alimony
Remy wanted the new EP to feel open and personal. She also wanted women to hear parts of their own stories in the songs.
The rapper says the project reflects the talks women have with close friends. Those talks can include jokes, doubts, pain and hard truths. At the same time, Remy uses the EP to take control of her own story. Her personal life has often drawn public attention. Now, she gets to tell parts of that story through music.
Her longtime fans also play a key role. Remy wants them to feel connected to this new chapter of her career.
Remy Ma mentions Nicki Minaj
The biggest talking point arrives on the opening track, Rem The Pen. On the song, Remy references several women in hip-hop. That list includes Nicki Minaj. She also mentions her ties to artists such as Cardi B and Lil’ Kim. However, her Nicki reference stands out because of their long and public history.
The two rappers have shared a complicated relationship over the years. Their history has often drawn attention from hip-hop fans and the media. Still, Alimony does not focus only on Nicki. The reference appears as one moment within a much bigger story. Remy keeps the focus on herself and her experiences. As a result, the song adds tension without defining the entire project.

Alimony also features Why I Get Married? with singer KeKe Wyatt. Remy released an official video for the song as well.
The track adds another layer to an EP built around relationships and personal experiences. Meanwhile, the full project gives Remy room to explore where she is now. For longtime fans, the Nicki Minaj mention may be the first thing they notice. Yet Remy’s larger goal goes beyond that moment.
She wants Alimony to feel like a space where women can talk, laugh and relate to one another. Most importantly, Remy is letting the music lead the conversation. The six-track EP gives her a fresh way to tell her story and move forward.
