Brittney Taylor Now Claims It Was Papoose Who Punched Her

A “Love & Hip Hop: New York” reality star is changing her story and now claims that it wasn’t Remy Ma who hit her in the face but the rapper’s husband, Papoose, who did it, Ma’s lawyers alleged Thursday.

Ma is charged with slugging her castmate Brittney Taylor, but defense attorney Dawn Florio said that Taylor later blamed Papoose for the shiner in a private group chat that was released on social media.

“I have the video,” Taylor allegedly wrote in the group chat that was captured in a screenshot and shared with reporters. “Papoose is a B—tch for toching [sic] me and he’s a B—tch for making his wife take the wrap [sic] for it! SMFH!!! N—-REALLY KNOCKED ME OUT BRO! S–T MAKING ME SICK TO MY SOUL.”

During a brief court appearance Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court, Ma, 38, quietly stood beside Florio wearing a baby blue skirt-suit with matching stilettos bejeweled with large pearls. The case was adjourned to Oct. 18.

Florio said outside the courthouse that Assistant DA Juan Maldonado planned to subpoena Taylor’s chat records to confirm that the group chat is authentic. The attorney us urging the DA to drop the case.

A post about Taylor’s alleged admission on the Instagram account The Shade Room garnered nearly 60,000 likes.

But Taylor’s lawyer, Sanford Rubenstein, said that the group chat was doctored and that they had supplied the original to the DA’s office. Sanford wouldn’t specify how the two versions differ. “We look forward to trial,” he said.

Ma, whose real name is Reminisce Smith, is charged with roughing up Taylor April 16 during a concert at Irving Plaza.

Taylor initially told police that the “Lean Back” singer slugged her in the right eye at the Pretty Lou Benefit Concert.

Two months later, Taylor was busted on assault raps for allegedly clawing another woman’s neck and chucking a phone at her head. She took a dismissal deal last month.

Ma has had other run-ins with the law. She served six years in prison for shooting a friend in 2007 outside a Manhattan nightspot in a dispute over money.

While locked up, she married rapper Papoose, with whom she shares an infant daughter.

The Bronx-born beauty faces four counts of misdemeanor assault and harassment.
