JUST IN: Papoose Files for D!vorce After Remy Ma’s Alleged Aff@ir With 50 Cent Leak — “Hotel Footage Was Brut@l,” Say Sources

In a dramatic twist to one of hip-hop’s most public relationships, Papoose (born Shamele Mackie) has officially filed for divorce from wife Remy Ma, citing “irreconcilable differences” and alleged infidelity as key issues. The filing, submitted on May 22, 2025, in a New York court, marks the end of a high-profile marriage that has frequently played out in the public eye on platforms like Love & Hip Hop: New York.

A Tumultuous History

The couple’s story began years ago, when rapper Remy Ma married Papoose over the phone while serving her sentence in 2008. They held a televised vow renewal in 2016 during the sixth season of Love & Hip Hop: New York, and welcomed daughter Reminisce Mackenzie in December 2018 . Their relationship was widely considered a pillar of loyalty and resilience — until cracks began to appear.

Mutual Infidelity Claims Erupt

The couple’s spousal strife spilled into public view in late 2024, when Remy Ma accused Papoose of having an affair with Olympic boxer Claressa Shields, going so far as to post alleged private messages between the two on social media . Papoose swiftly struck back, labeling Remy a “narcissist” and not only denying her allegations, but claiming that she had been unfaithful “repeatedly” .

“Hotel Footage Was Brutal”: The 50 Cent Rumor

The situation took an even more sensational turn when rumor mills began speculating Remy Ma had an extramarital fling with rap mogul 50 Cent. Although no formal charges or confirmations have emerged, social media drama escalated when supposed “hotel footage” of the alleged encounter leaked online. Tabloid-style headlines like “The hotel footage is brutal!” circulated on YouTube gossip channels, further stoking speculation .

However, there is currently no authoritative evidence—no court documents, verified eyewitness accounts, or official statements from Remy Ma or 50 Cent—linking Remy to a romantic liaison with 50 Cent. Mainstream outlets have not corroborated these rumors. Until such evidence is substantiated, these remain unverified claims heavily fueled by gossip media.

Papoose’s Divorce Filing

According to his official divorce petition filed in May 2025, Papoose cited “irreconcilable differences” and accused Remy Ma of engaging in multiple extramarital affairs. He explicitly named her relationships with unnamed men and women and referred back to the social media allegations involving Claressa Shields. That filing ends a chapter filled with both public romantic celebrations and personal conflicts.

Public Fallout and Reactions

This split has triggered an intense reaction on social media and news platforms alike. The leak of “hotel footage” — while unverified — set off a frenzy of hot takes and memes, with many asking: “Is Papoose making his move because of THIS video?” Others wonder if it’s all part of a pattern of sensationalism in their public personas.

Remy Ma has yet to publicly address the 50 Cent speculation, though she has routinely maintained her integrity amid accusations. Similarly, 50 Cent has remained silent and hasn’t commented.

Fans and followers are divided: some believe Rappers’ personal life is too sensationalized for clickbait, while others demand transparency if their favorite icons are indeed involved in scandalous affairs.

What This Means for Their Daughter

The divorce affects more than just the couple—they share a young daughter, Reminisce. Though custody arrangements haven’t been disclosed, the couple has previously emphasized co-parenting and stability in public interviews . With court filings underway, their family dynamic is likely to remain under the spotlight.

The Broader Hip‑Hop Context

Papoose and Remy Ma are among the most visible couples in hip-hop, with their relationship often framed as a symbol of “Black love” in the genre. Their public breakups, reconciliations, and disputes have long provided fuel for fans and television producers alike. This divorce — arguably their most serious split yet — underscores a growing conversation about authenticity, fame, and the personal costs of living life in the public eye.

Awaiting the Truth

At this point, key truths remain elusive. With much of the drama centered on viral rumor rather than documented evidence, it’s unclear whether the “hotel footage” ever existed, or whether this is yet another exaggerated narrative pushed by vapid media cycles.

What is indisputable: Papoose’s divorce petition is filed, citing alleged affairs and irreparable breakdown. Remy Ma, shaken by mutual accusations, is also moving forward publicly as their personal lives continue to air in public view.
