Remy Ma on Doja Cat's Genre-Blending Music: ‘I Don’t Think She’s a Rapper’

At this year’s Grammys, Doja Cat is nominated for eight awards, two of which are in the rap category.

Remy Ma had some thoughts on Doja Cat’s genre-blending musical style, which has received eight Grammy nominations – two of them in rap categories.

“I don’t think she’s a rapper,” Remy said during a recent interview Drink Champs’ DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. “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.”

Twitter users debated the idea, with one fan writing, “Remy Ma come from an era of traditional Rap. There is nothing wrong w| Doja Cat being a Pop Rapper but they shouldn’t be grouped w| REAL HIPHOP ARTIST.”

“I’m sorry but Remy saying Doja cat not a rapper is wild to me cuz then what the f— is she?!! Why we putting rappers in one box??” another added from the other perspective.

Remy Ma come from an era of traditional Rap. There is nothing wrong w| Doja Cat being a Pop Rapper but they shouldn't be grouped w| REAL HIPHOP ARTIST. This is the exact reason why it's weird AF that Nicki Minaj claim she Queen of Rap but her biggest releases are from POP MUSIC. https://t.co/M0Jmrz5hx8
