During an interview with Drink Champs' DJ EFN and N.O.R.E.,Rap veteran Remy Ma shared her personal views about Doja’s artistry. “I don’t think she’s a rapper,” said Remy Ma. “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.”
Remy Ma’s statement sparked an open dialogue online. Some music lovers seemingly agreed with Remy, while others disagreed with her choice of words. “Remy Ma losing her mind! Talking bout' Doja Cat not a rapper please she will out rap you!,” one Twitter user wrote. “Yeah I personally don't think Doja cat is a rapper...rhyming words don't make you a rapper…,” another Twitter user chimed in.
