Renowned hip-hop icon Remy Ma recently celebrated her birthday with a fun Prohibition-themed party at Casa De Lobo in Jersey City. Per Page Six, as the festivities unfolded, Remy Ma, who just turned 43, humorously declared that she considers herself 35 years old, stating, "So I appreciate all of you coming to my 35th birthday party. I don't f**king count the ones I was in prison and I don't count the ones during COVID."

In 2007, the "Lean Back" star was sentenced to eight years in prison for her involvement in a dispute over money, which tragically resulted in the shooting of a woman outside a Manhattan nightspot. However, she regained her freedom in 2014.

According to TMZ, hip-hop star Mase made a surprise appearance during the party, taking to the stage and electrifying the atmosphere with his timeless hit, "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down."

The star-studded party was orchestrated by Ma's husband, Papoose, 45. Taking to Instagram, Papoose shared his affection for his wife alongside a video featuring the special guest appearance by the legendary hip-hop artist Mase. The crowd erupted in excitement as Mase took the stage, treating everyone to a nostalgic performance of his 1997 hit, "What You Want."

Sharing his satisfaction in being able to surprise his beloved queen, Papoose wrote in the caption, "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. Peace to the Harlem Legend my bro @rsvpmase Real people do real things. Peace to @roseaym @hennessy @tunecore' Head of Hip Hop.'"

The dynamic rapper duo, Ma and Papoose, welcomed their first child together in December 2018, their beautiful daughter, Reminisce Mackenzie. Alongside this new addition, both Ma and Papoose have children from previous relationships.

Their journey as a couple has been filled with significant milestones. Fans of the duo witnessed their love story unfold during the sixth season of "Love & Hip Hop: New York" when they formalized their commitment in a captivating wedding ceremony after Ma's release from prison in August 2014. The Bronx rapper served time at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women after being convicted for illegal weapon possession, assault, and attempted coercion.

During a candid interview with "HOT 97" in 2021, Ma and Papoose shared that the essential elements that have fostered the longevity of their relationship are a "high level of loyalty, dedication, and sincere love."

Ma said of her union with Papoose, per People, "My favorite part about being married is the high level of loyalty, dedication, and sincere love that we share amongst each other. There's no other sense of security outside of having that one person that you know, regardless of what will always be there for you and vice versa."

The "All The Way" rapper acknowledged the importance of finding solace in the steadfastness of their bond, adding, "Things in the world these days are so uncertain, tomorrow isn't promised, and you know never know when people are going to change on you but when you take vows under God at your wedding, which your partner, you know it's till death do you guys apart. The level of unconditional love."
