Shamele Mackie, better known by his stage name Papoose, is an American rapper and songwriter. After breaking into the rap game in 2005 with DJ Kayslay with the release of his song "Alphabetical Slaughter" he signed a $1.5 million contract with Jive Records. Papoose is of Liberian descent and has a daughter named Dejanae Mackie. In 2008, he and his cousin James Phelps (stage name Young Purp) issued a statement saying that he and fellow rapper Remy Ma (Reminisce Mackie) were to be married, but due to Ma's impending prison sentence of potentially up to 15 25 years, the couple had changed their plans and intended to marry in her jail instead.
