Nicki Minaj threw some jabs at Remy Ma on her back-to-back verses that dropped last month – one on Gucci Mane’s “Make Love,” the other on Jason Derulo’s “Swalla” with Ty Dolla $ign. These two songs are what ultimately prompted Remy to release “SHEther” – and Jason didn’t even see it coming.

“You know, it’s kinda crazy because I didn’t even expect that,” Jason tells HipHopDX. “[Her dissing Remy] didn’t even cross my mind. I didn’t [put two and two] together. To be honest, I don’t think anybody on my team or my label put that together, either. But I guess it was a combination of [“Swalla”] and the other song [“Make Love” with Gucci Mane]. I don’t really know the whole joint but I do know that her coming back with those three records was unbelievable. That’s some legendary shit.”

As for his thoughts on the beef:

“It’s good for music. It makes it exciting to watch. But you know Nicki is my sister and she’s just an unbelievable talent. Some people you don’t really go after. And I think both parties held their own. Remy did her thing but what Nicki did was legendary.”
