AceShowbiz - Remy Ma just considered her age to be 35 instead of 43. When hosting a Prohibition-themed party at Casa De Lobo in Jersey City, New Jersey, the "Lean Back" raptress explained why she didn't count her actual age.
The female rapper, who turned 43 on Wednesday, May 30, said during the bash, "I got everybody in here number. We call, text, we talk s**t... So I appreciate all of you coming to my 35th birthday party." She added, "I don't f**king count the ones I was in prison and I don't count the ones during COVID."
Remy was sentenced to eight years in prison for shooting a woman in 2007 outside a Manhattan nightspot during an altercation over money. She was released from jail in 2014.
During the party, Remy's husband, Papoose, gave her a surprise by inviting rapper Mase. Sharing a video of the latter performing his 1997 single "What You Want" ft. Total, Papoose wrote, "Surprised the Queen @remyma with 1 of her fav rappers. Felt good to see her genuinely surprised & happy."
"She's made my born day special so many times. This was well deserved," the 45-year-old continued. "Peace to the Harlem Legend my bro @rsvpmase Real people do real things. Peace to @roseaym @hennessy @tunecore 'Head of Hip Hop.' "
Papoose, who wed Remy in 2008, has often expressed his love to her on social media. During a 2022 appearance on "Drink Champs", he explained how trust and communication helped them maintain their relationship amid Remy's prison sentence.
"It's about admitting when you wrong, cause you not always right," he elaborated. "You or your partner. So when she was locked up, I couldn't touch her. So all we had was communication."
"When I visited her they would say put your hands on the table, s**t like that. So we spoke a lot and throughout that communication, we learned even if there is a disagreement if she's speaking I gotta be quiet," the rapper, born Shamele Mackie, added. "Then when I'm speaking she gotta be quiet."
