After two weeks, Nicki Minaj finally wrote a response to Remy Ma’s epic diss track “ShEther”. Released in a trio mix tape titled #3PackFromParis its singles include “Regret in Your Tears,” “Changed It,” and “No Frauds”— the pop-rap song addressing Remy. In the song that features Lil Wayne and Drake, Nicki suggests Papoose, Remy’s husband, is her ghost writer. She also talks about the gun case that sent Remy to prison and lack of album sales. Nicki also addresses her music contract that Remy claimed was divided so badly, that she only received 35 cents per album sale. “I never signed a 360, b**ch you wild dumb,” Nicki says. “That’s why Jay [Z] ain’t clear his verse for your album.” But as passionate as Nicki’s words were, the internet responded with far less excitement, criticizing it for being too little and too late.

Okay Nicki you get a C+ for No Frauds you was suppose to turn that Homework in a long time ago & you made it a group project 〽✏

These Nicki fans are trying so hard to convince us that #NoFrauds was fire. I think they're in the Barbz variant of the Sunken place. pic.twitter.com/PTucT4q8pe

Hearing "No Frauds" makes me wish Rem had stopped at Shether. It would've made the contrast between the tracks even sharper.

No frauds gotta be in the top ten worse diss tracks ever

So Nicki did a group assignment that's 2 weeks overdue, asked Wayne and Drake for help and No Frauds is the best she came up with? #Shether pic.twitter.com/gB0WSeMmuf

On the flip side, many believe the uptempo tone of the single is great for radio, which may have been Nicki’s intention all along.

Nicki is smarter than Remy, I'll say that much. No Frauds will be played on the radio constantly. Super Mainstream.

No Frauds did it for me cause Nicki was just so nonchalant. Remy was so angry on Shether and it was soooo daaaamn loooong.

Remy has yet to respond, but this battle boils down to traditional hip-hop versus new age hip-hop— and fans seem to want the former.
