Billboard talked to Remy Ma (while still in prison) for their female rappers feature:
Quote:
Day 25: Remy Ma
In three months, Remy Ma will be freed from a six-year prison stint, and there's no doubt she's ready to hit the ground running. The rapper has reconciled with collaborator Fat Joe and is ready to live up to his still-standing belief that she's "the dopest female rapper ever."

Pending Reality Show
"That's when reality shows weren't as ratchet as they are now. I've been getting some calls about it but I'm like, 'I'm good.' I am going to be honest, I'm scared of reality TV. That's one thing that's not on my list to do when I get out. Once I have my music solidified, then I'll consider reality TV."
What's Next?
"I have so much material that I've been working on and so many topics I want to touch on. I've grown so much as a woman and as an individual. I know that I can bring something to the table that's missing. I don't hear the things that I want to say or have experienced; I don't hear it in the music that's out."
"I'm writing about my own stories but also the stories of the people I've come across while in prison. I'm not in jail, I'm in prison. You'd be surprised as to how many women come through here and what they've experienced. I've encountered people from all over the world. I've always rapped about my struggle and living a hard life but there's a lot of things that are serious, like gang issues, immigration issues, domestic violence issues… There's some women in here, 18-year-olds with ambition, who may never see the light of day. I thought I had a hard life, but I've now experienced a whole different world. It's serious. I'm going to put it in my music."
"I want to show sides of me that I hadn't showed and tell my story since I left till now, and the stories of others. I can say I have at least 20 books or so of songs."
"I want people to know that Rem is still Rem. There's a history of artists that go to jail and when they get home they're not all that or even do anything. I'm not falling into that category. In my opinion, the only one that did some significant time then came home and went stupid was 'Pac. That's what I want to do. I want to come home and make an impact. I feel like my time was cut short and I didn't get to blossom where I wanted to be in my career."
"There's a lot of people I want to work with. I want to definitely work with these MMG guys; I love what they're doing. I love [Rick] Ross. I **** with Meek [Mill]. He's one of my favorites right now. I love everything he puts out. I **** with French [Montana]. I like Nicki [Minaj]. She's been doing her thing. I like that YG kid, a lot. When July comes around, I'm around. That's my motto: I'm around."
When She Gets Out...
"I'm going to get my hair done. I'm going to get my nails done. [Laughs] People see me as this rough tomboy. I'm a girly girl. And I'm married! I'm over here married, without my nails done. I'm going to get dolled up. I'll then knock out a few things [and] lay down some melodies. I've written a lot down but I haven't been producing so I just write and listen to the radio. I think that if I get in to the studio with some of these guys that are out – like Rico Love and DJ Mustard – I'm going to get so lit." [Laughs]
"After I get dolled up and lay down some records and my voice is out, I want to get away and get my back blown out for like a week. Mess up the hair and make-up that I got done. I have been in prison for a while." [Laughs]
OT: I love what Billboard is doing this month with the female rappers, I have a feeling they'll save the last interview for Nicki and I have a strong feeling she's going to announce something big
I'm glad Remy likes Nicki! And it'll be interesting to see what kind of music Remy makes once she is out. I hope Rick, Meek, French, Nicki, and YG embrace her and do some tracks with her!

I definitely think she is going to be last too.
One of the writers tweeted "Where is Foxy?" the other day. Lord, I hope they can find her.
As a nicki stan i said this before AND I STAND by it...remy is the only one that can come for her.
I think remy and nicki will embrace each other.
I think nicki will be smart to get her album done ASAP and get the streets back on her side before remy gets her music done and then nicki needs to be smart and do a song with remy on her album and get her in a remix to one of her songs to show unity and show that femcees with bars can rock.
Nicki aint stupid. Lyrically she dont want it with rem.
I hope it goes as i planned it.
