Shea Marie Said “I’m Back” in Her Final Music Video — Five Years Later, Her Podcast Returns

Five years ago today, on her birthday, Toronto artist Shea Marie stepped in front of the camera to film what would become her final music video.

The unreleased visual for her women’s anthem, “Bad Bitches,” begins with a declaration that carries new meaning today:

“I’m back.”

On July 21, 2026, WorldWide Entertainment TV is honouring Shea Marie’s birthday by sharing a brief excerpt from that protected final visual and officially bringing back The Shea Marie Podcast, a series created in her name.

The podcast returns with South Carolina-born, Atlanta-based rapper Big Mama German, whose views on women in hip-hop, lyrical ability, creative ownership and refusing to be placed inside one marketable box reflect many of the principles Shea Marie believed in herself.

Shea Marie Was More Than One Kind of Artist

Shea Marie could sing, rap and command attention through her image and personality, but she never wanted those elements to distract from her abilities as an emcee.

Although people frequently praised her singing voice, she was equally determined to demonstrate that she could rap. She believed women should not have to choose between being recognized for their appearance, vocals, confidence or bars. They could possess the complete package and still demand respect for the work underneath the presentation.

That belief is one reason “Bad Bitches” remains such a fitting representation of her personality.

The song carried the confidence, independence and women-centered energy that later became increasingly prominent throughout music and popular culture. But for Shea Marie, it was not a manufactured trend. It was an extension of the attitude and artistic identity she had already developed.

WorldWide Entertainment TV has chosen not to release the complete music video. The brief birthday excerpt is being shared as an archival tribute, preserving the larger visual while allowing audiences to see Shea Marie performing again.

Why The Shea Marie Podcast Is Returning With Big Mama German

The connection between Shea Marie and Big Mama German was not planned before the interview.

As Big Mama German discussed her career with WorldWide Entertainment TV, she repeatedly expressed ideas that echoed Shea Marie’s own position on women in the music industry.

Big Mama German spoke about the importance of bars, wordplay and song structure. She criticized the tendency to invest more attention in appearance and theatrical presentation than the writing underneath the music.

Her goal, she explained, is to help “make rap about rap again.”

She also discussed writing her own songs, developing her visual concepts, directing music videos, styling herself and maintaining control over her larger creative identity.

The similarities became increasingly difficult to ignore.

During the interview, WWETV revealed the connection to Shea Marie and explained that she had also wanted to prove women could be singers, rappers, visual artists and complete entertainers without having their lyrical ability dismissed.

Big Mama German responded emotionally, saying the moment gave her chills and that the interview appeared to be “meant to be.”

Big Mama German Enters Her “SLAY!” Era

The Shea Marie Podcast returns alongside the release of Big Mama German’s new single, “SLAY!” featuring Ferg Berserk.

Big Mama German describes the record as an aggressive alternative and nu-metal-influenced collaboration that introduces a louder, more confrontational side of her sound.

She described the accompanying visual as “Hot Wheels meets Bratz,” combining fast cars, doll-inspired imagery, rock energy and the colourful theatrical presentation she wants to make central to her brand.

The rapper believes the collaboration challenged her to become more experimental and enter a sound she had not previously explored in the same way.

She also made a bold prediction during the interview, calling “SLAY!” one of the best songs of 2026.

Bars, Rap Queens and Creative Ownership

The full conversation extends far beyond the new single.

Big Mama German discusses the evolution of her name from Raspberry German, her South Carolina upbringing, her move to Atlanta for greater visibility and resources, and the natural comparisons between her identity and Latto’s mainstream “Big Mama” era.

She also reflects on the women who shaped her understanding of rap greatness.

Big Mama German identifies Lil’ Kim and Nicki Minaj as two of her strongest influences while also recognizing the contributions of Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Foxy Brown, Eve and Trina.

She believes female rap can have more than one queen, particularly when different women dominate separate eras or artistic lanes.

However, she also argues that anyone claiming the crown must prove herself through more than image or popularity. For Big Mama German, the standard includes bars, records, performances, sales, cultural impact and the ability to create something that changes the direction of the genre.

She describes her future ambition as another “cultural reset.”

The interview also enters the business side of her career.

Big Mama German makes it clear that she will not sign a traditional 360 agreement and identifies control of her masters as a major non-negotiable in any potential record deal.

Her goal is not simply to become a successful recording artist. She envisions a larger Big Mama German universe incorporating music, fashion, cosmetics, merchandise, voice acting, live performance and the German Chocolate Factory concept she has already begun developing.

A Birthday, an Anniversary and a Return

The timing of the podcast’s revival carries deep personal meaning.

Shea Marie’s final visual was filmed on her birthday five years ago. Now, on that same date, her voice opens a new chapter for the series created in her honour.

Her words remain simple:

“I’m back.”

They now introduce more than an unreleased music video.

They announce the return of a platform dedicated to women whose talent, voices, stories and creative identities deserve to be taken seriously.
