Remy Ma and DaBaby were seen together backstage in Connecticut just hours after the Bronx rapper appeared to take a direct shot at her estranged husband Papoose during a concert with Fat Joe, sources confirm. The video, obtained exclusively by 9MagTV, shows Remy Ma greeting the Grammy-nominated rapper with a hug and a flurry of compliments, calling him “my brother” and reminiscing about their long friendship. The meetup comes amid escalating tension in Remy Ma’s personal life, with fans dissecting every lyric and stage remark for clues about the state of her marriage.
The Connecticut concert at the Toyota Oakdale Theatre on Saturday night was electric, with Fat Joe and Remy Ma delivering a nostalgic set full of Terror Squad anthems. But it was Remy’s between-song banter that set social media ablaze. According to multiple fan videos, she paused mid-performance and addressed the crowd directly, saying something about people who “don’t pick up they clothes” and “leave they mess for somebody else.”
The phrase “pick up yo clothes” has since trended on X, with many interpreting it as a dig at Papoose, whom Remy Ma married in 2008 and has been rumored to be separated from for months.
Backstage footage obtained by this outlet shows Remy Ma visibly relaxed as she encountered DaBaby. “You know me since I was like a kid, for real, for real. He still be signing me and everything.
It’s crazy,” she said, her voice carrying over the club-like atmosphere. “But when I come out, he used to shut his [stuff] down ’cause he got the hit hit hit hit hit records. But the hood [stuff] with me.”
DaBaby responded warmly, “Let me [stuff] with you, too, sis.” The exchange lasted several minutes, with Remy Ma later shouting over the music, “I would go deaf for one of you,” before asking the crowd to make noise if they have to go deaf with a particular person—a moment that fans are now speculating could refer to either Papoose or DaBaby.
The timing of this link-up is striking. Remy Ma and Papoose have been the subject of divorce rumors since early 2024, with sources claiming the couple has been living apart for months. Papoose, born Shamele Mackie, has not publicly addressed the speculation, but his social media activity has been muted.
Meanwhile, DaBaby, who faced significant industry backlash in 2021 after making homophobic comments, has been slowly rebuilding his career with a series of high-profile collaborations. His appearance with Remy Ma signals a possible new alliance that could reshape the hip-hop landscape in New York.
During the concert, Remy Ma also performed her viral freestyle where she raps about trust issues and “niggas who ain’t worth a dime.” Lyrics that few caught live are now being scrutinized line by line. One couplet stands out: “I don’t need a man who leave his drawers on the floor / He gotta pick up what he put down, or I’m out the door.”
The crowd roared, but those close to the couple say the message was unmistakably aimed at Papoose, who has been accused in anonymous social media posts of being neglectful and messy. Neither Remy Ma nor Papoose’s representatives have responded to requests for comment.
DaBaby’s presence adds another layer. The Charlotte rapper has his own history of public feuds and statements, including a widely publicized onstage altercation with a fan in 2023. But with Remy Ma, he appeared nothing but supportive.
“Let me [stuff] with you, too, sis,” he repeated, putting his arm around her. The two were seen laughing and taking photos with fans backstage before DaBaby left with his entourage. One witness described the vibe as “family reunion energy,” adding that Remy Ma seemed “lighter” than she has in recent public appearances.
The “pick up yo clothes” incident has sparked a wave of memes and hot takes across hip-hop media. Some fans are calling it a brilliant PR move to distract from personal drama, while others believe Remy Ma is genuinely moving on. Papoose, who has stood by Remy Ma through her prison sentence in the 2000s and subsequent comeback, has not posted on social media since the concert.
His last tweet, from three days ago, reads simply: “Sometimes silence is the best answer.” Many now see that as a cryptic response to the unfolding situation.
Industry insiders are watching closely. One booking agent who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “Remy and Fat Joe are a package deal, but if she’s really separating from Papoose, that changes everything. She’ll need a new creative partner, and DaBaby could be that guy.
He’s hungry, he’s controversial, and he respects her history.” The agent added that the two rappers have been in talks about a collaboration for months, but the Connecticut backstage meeting was the first time they were seen together in person.
The video clip, which runs about two minutes, ends with Remy Ma shouting, “I love y’all too!” as the camera pans to DaBaby nodding approvingly. The energy is palpable, and it’s clear that whatever is happening behind the scenes, Remy Ma is positioning herself for a new chapter.
Whether that chapter includes Papoose or not remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the hip-hop community is not going to look away.
As of Sunday morning, the hashtag #PickUpYoClothes had over 200,000 posts on social media, with fans dissecting every frame of the concert and backstage footage. Some are calling for a full statement from Remy Ma, while others are simply enjoying the spectacle. A representative for Fat Joe’s camp declined to comment, but a source close to the tour said, “That’s just Remy being Remy.
She’s always kept it real on stage. If someone needs to pick up their clothes, she’ll say it.”
This is not the first time Remy Ma has used her music to address relationship issues. Her 2017 single “The Wait Is Over” featured a verse about loyalty and marriage. But in recent months, her lyrics have taken a darker turn, with tracks referencing betrayal and independence.
Fans at the Connecticut concert say they noticed the shift in her stage presence—“She was more aggressive, more direct,” one concertgoer told us. “She kept looking at the side of the stage like she was waiting for someone. When DaBaby showed up backstage, she lit up.”
The Connecticut show was part of a larger tour with Fat Joe that is scheduled to hit 15 more cities. Whether DaBaby will appear at any of those dates is unknown, but the backstage chemistry suggests he may become a recurring guest. For now, the internet is buzzing with questions: Will Papoose respond?
Is Remy Ma officially moving on? And what exactly did she mean by “pick up yo clothes”?
We will continue to follow this story as it develops. In the meantime, the video speaks for itself—a moment of celebration, friendship, and perhaps a little bit of shade. In the world of hip-hop, that’s exactly what makes headlines.
