Papoose is finding out the hard way that in the court of public opinion, timing is everything. For months, the rapper has remained notably quiet while the relationship between Papoose and Claressa Shields sparked endless debate, memes, and questions regarding his marriage to Remy Ma. However, the silence was finally broken this weekend, but only after music royalty Rihanna entered the chat.

According to TheShadeRoom, the rapper took to Instagram on Saturday, January 10, to finally give Claressa a public shoutout. While Claressa has been vocal for months about being “heavy on her man,” Papoose’s decision to only match that energy after a celebrity endorsement has many social media users calling him “embarrassing.”
Claressa quickly caught wind of the high praise, responding, “Period @Rihanna only way to be about a good man.” While Claressa used the moment to double down on her devotion, Papoose used it as an opening to finally acknowledge the boxer on his own page.
In his post, Papoose praised Claressa’s beauty, specifically highlighting her “unmatched aura” and physical features. He wrote, “Claressa has a big heart… most think she’s so rugged because she’s a fighter. But the way she takes care of her body is on another level. Zoom in… she has small hands, small feet, & some unbelievably smooth ass skin. Very beautiful black woman. When the way you LOVE can Inspire others. That says a lot!!!”
While Papoose likely intended for the post to be a sweet defense of his partner, the reaction from fans was swift and largely negative. Many pointed out that Papoose and Claressa have been a topic of intense public scrutiny for months, with trolls often attacking Claressa’s appearance and the nature of their bond, yet Papoose remained silent until a superstar like Rihanna validated the relationship.
“It took for Rihanna to ship Claressa & Papoose in order for him to stand up for her,” one user tweeted. “For months ppl been saying all types of stuff about her, you never saw none of that but saw what Rihanna said? Oh okay.”
The critique didn’t stop at the timing. Other social media users felt the content of the post was disjointed compared to Claressa’s “who gon check her?” energy. While Claressa has spent recent livestreams telling trolls, “Ain’t nobody going to stop me from talking about my man,” fans felt Papoose’s focus on her “small hands and feet” failed to match the gravity of the situation.
Rihanna isn’t too busy counting money to let the world know how she feels about her man, A$AP Rocky, or to give a shoutout to Claressa Shields and Papoose‘s infamous love story.
In a rare appearance on X, the Bajan billionaire responded to a video clip posted of she and the Harlem rapper in which she appeared absolutely smitten with her man. The social media user captioned the clip “Rihanna is gone” and the Fenty Beauty founder made sure to confirm their suspicions saying,
“Claressa Shields type gone bout him!!”
This, of course, sent the girlies into a spiral of hysteria as the boxing gwoat has become synonymous with being head over heels, nose wide open in love with your partner. It also, once again, proves that Rihanna is always chronically online and here for the messiest of mess. If you were around for her Twitter era, you already know the vibes.
Claressa was ready to hop in and add her two cents in agreement with Rihanna.
“period @rihanna only way to be about a good man.”
Chile, may that type of love find everyone who wants it.
Along with being #GoneBoutHim, the undefeated women’s boxing champion is training for her first fight of the year. She’ll face off against Franchon Crews-Dezurn in Detroit, MI on Feb. 22. It’s a homecoming of sorts for Shields who hails from Flint, MI and has ties to Motown. She and Crews-Dezurn have been trading quips via social media ahead of their highly-anticipated bout.
Shields will be defending her heavyweight titles in their matchup and Crews-Dezurn will be hoping to add to her growing resume.
As for Rihanna, the head Savage in charge seems to be mostly in mommy mode; however, her second album “A Girl Like Me” turns 20 this year. One can only hope she may feel obliged to do something special for her fans to commemorate the moment. The #RihannaNavy probably isn’t holding their breath for new music anymore but hey, one can still dream.
For once, 50 Cent backed down from beef when Claressa Shields shut down his “ugly” insults by exposing that he was an undercover “GWOAT lover” when he flew her out. The champ also put the perpetually petty performer and other haters on anti-Black blast for dissing her looks. Get ’em, GWOAT!
The king of social media savagery continued the long-standing static by using AI to put Papoose and Claressa’s faces over a scene from Black Sister’s Revenge, where a woman slaps a man about not loving her back. “Now you see, that’s assault! You can’t just go around putting your hands on PEOPLE. LOL Happy New Year!” 50 wrote in the caption.

Papoose responded to the tired joke about his heavy-hitting boo abusing him and posted some AI-generated antics of his own. He shared a deepfake clip of 50 Cent twerking in a bikini. On New Year’s Day, the G-Unit star laughed it off with a repost that shaded Claressa and Remy as “handsome.”
“Look what Pap posted,” he wrote with laughing emojis. “Hahaha, that look like one of his joints all his hoe’s handsome. They tougher than him LOL.”
Claressa Claps Back After 50 Cent’s Diss
We know Claressa doesn’t back down either, and she wanted all the smoke! She wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that even though it’s a new year, men hating on her is old news.
“This generation of men have been weird to me for a long ass time. Bunch of men hating on hardworking, successful women. Gossiping, lying, and black balling. I got the millions now, but a lot of men in power tried to block me! The hate been real! This is not new to me,” the champ wrote on Saturday.
“These rappers don’t get they a** beat enough that’s the problem,” she warned. The fierce Flint fighter called him out directly, adding, “Mfs ain’t never been the best in their field no matter what era of their career! So 50 can stfu for real!”
Oop!
Check out 50 Cent’s backtracking response and Claressa Shields doubling down to put him on blast after the flip!
50 Cent Backs Down From Beef With Claressa Shields
Maybe the NYE bottles of Le Chemin du Roi wore off because eventually 50 Cent came to his senses about Claressa Shields. After a few days of social media dragging the Power producer for tearing down a Black woman, 50 came as close as he ever does to an apology and waved the white flag. He even admitted that he’s a fan of the fighter and that her upcoming world championship rematch against Franchón Crews-Dezurn.
“Ok the truth is I’m a claressashields fan, I think she is an amazing fighter and she got a Big fight coming up,so I’m gonna chill and let her focus let’s go champ !” he wrote on Sunday.
It wouldn’t be 50 Cent if he didn’t include something shady. In this case, it was a screenshot of an internet investigator calling out a tweet of Claressa celebrating her chance to meet 50 in 2024. “Ha I’m bout to meet 50 Cent life is crazy,” she wrote. “I love 50!”
Claress Doubles Down With Flyout Facts About “GWOAT Lover” 50, Cals Out “Anti-Black” Insults From Haters
If anyone can go round after round, it’s this boxing baddie, so she didn’t let him slide that easily. Claressa ran the receipts showing that 50 was just as fanned out when he flew her out. Spill the tea, sis!
“Hey @50Cent, GWOAT lover alert! 🤩 You hooked me up with a flight to Shreveport and a hotel room – talk about a VIP! 😅 You even invited me to help out with your nonprofit for the kids,” she clapped back with a clip of them onstage. It sounds like 50 knew how to treat a queen when he saw one, regardless of his “handsome” heckling.
Claressa took a petty page out of 50’s book and noted how hype he was to wave around her boxing belt as he performed.
“You’re still invited to the fight,” she continued with a wink. “I’m still honored you performed on stage holding my HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!”
Now, that’s how you clear ’em!
Unfortunately, the hate Claressa faces is deeper than disses from her man’s opp. Like Serena Williams and Michelle Obama, she faces additional hate for not only being Black and a woman at the top of her game, but also colorist insults as a darker-skinned woman.
The shady implications of 50 using an old photo of Claressa from before her recent glow-up didn’t go unnoticed, and neither did the flood of hateful backlash that followed. She posted a recent gorgeous and “glowed up” pic and slammed the “ugly narrative” about the throwback photo from her Olympic victory.
“Please…. Y’all wanna run with the ugly narrative so bad! I was 17 years old fighting for my entire country and had a OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL AROUND MY NECK! Of course I glowed up! And I’m going to always be focused No matter what! LIKE ALWAYS!” she announced.
Claressa connected the dots from the “hate train” to anti-Black hatred, even when it’s internalized by “my own people.” Clock it!
“Boy Y’all hate everything about blackness, being black, black women, black support, black unity, black noses, black a**es. It’s really sad. I’m never joining the hate train of my own people. I didn’t wear a full face of makeup til i was 24 years old,” she wrote Sunday night.
Welp, the GWOAT has spoken! She concluded that she’s “Still Beautiful & Blessed” as she prepares for a real opponent.
Papoose seems to be a man who’s well taken care of by his boxing belle Claressa Shields, but their latest viral couple-up clip has the internet wondering if he’s on the ropes.
Claressa uploaded a sample of the meal she made for her man, her man—spinach, protein, rice and white bread—before turning the camera onto Papoose to get his review of things. The New York rapper had nothing but high praises for her culinary skills, claiming that the meal was an “11/10.”
“This food is amazing. The way you seasoned it, it was cooked perfectly,” he said in the clip.
Despite their joy, the internet still had jokes for Papoose and Claressa, per usual. Commenters wondered whether the rapper was simply being nice to stave off any hard feelings and save her some embarrassment on camera.
“I would have edited the first 3 seconds when he looked like he was in despair,” one user said.
“She beats him 😩 I’m convinced,” said another.
Well, we all know that Claressa doesn’t care what the people have to say when it comes to her and her man because she’s never afraid to clap back. As Papoose continues his beef with the king of trolling, 50 Cent, the boxing champion has been throwing her hat in the ring on her man’s behalf.
After Papoose and his Let’s Rap About It cohosts—Dave East, Maino, Jim Jones and Fabolous—all had disses for 50, the “Many Men” rapper responded with a clip of Remy Ma talking about her ex-husband.
“My ex might be the least income-making person that I’ve ever been with,” she says in the clip. “Ever.”
In the meantime, Pap and 50 are busy trading AI-created videos of one another. The G-Unit CEO shared a clip from the film Black Sister’s Revenge, in which the main character slaps her man for being unfaithful. Claressa and Pap’s faces were added to the characters as the ongoing joke that the boxer is keeping her rapper beau on lock by using her Olympic gold medal-winning hands. Pap responded with his own AI-generated video of 50 dancing in a bikini.
50, who has never bowed out of an internet beef, took the jab in jest, responding,
“Look what Pap posted. Hahaha, that look like one of his joints all his hoe’s handsome. They tougher than him.”
Claressa made sure to jump back in and make it clear that she has no love for 50 or respect for him in any era of his career. Before the jabs were thrown from Pap, Shields alleged that she woke up to find 50 spreading lies about her online.
“Why this nut a** MF 50 come bothering me! And the answer is the algorithm,” she said in a Snapchat post. “It’s sad to say that I’ve been viral for 40 days and 40 nights by just being me! And people have started making fake AI videos, pictures and narratives. I’ll end on this note, 50 need therapy he go around mad at the world or anybody successful because he got his heart broke. It happens. Get over it.”
2025 was a wild year for celebrity beefs, with stars trading insults online over everything from personal grudges to professional rivalries. Some clashes turned especially messy, with dirty blows that kept fans glued to their screens for hours, days, and even months. From Cardi B and Nicki Minaj hurling vicious insults online to Drake and Kendrick Lamar going head-to-head in diss tracks, here’s a look at some of the most heated and talked-about beefs of the year.
Cardi B vs. Nicki Minaj
In September, one of the most notorious rivalries in hip-hop flared up again, when Cardi B and Nicki Minaj traded severe insults online. The clash began after Minaj appeared to mock the sales of Cardi’s new album, Am I The Drama? Minaj took to X, with a since-deleted post that read, $4.99, poking fun at what seemed to be a reference to the promotional iTunes price of Cardi’s project.
That led to a series of firing posts: Minaj mocked Cardi’s pregnant belly and accused her of “fallin off the charts,” while Cardi fired back with cutting remarks about Minaj’s family and alleged cocaine use, even referencing Minaj’s brother’s 2017 criminal conviction. As previouslyreported, Jelani Maraj was convicted of predatory assault against an 11-year-old girl and was found guilty in 2017. He was sentenced to 25 years to life in 2020.

Sadly, the social media spat reached a new low when the rappers dragged each other’s children into the mix, drawing widespread criticism. The feud quickly escalated into deeply personal territory, prompting other artists, including 50 Cent, to publicly warnthat the situation was “not gonna end well” if it continued to spiral online. Thankfully, the beef quickly dissipated.
50 Cent vs. Diddy

Unlike many flash-in-the-pan celebrity beefs, 50 Cent and Sean “Diddy” Combs (P. Diddy) have maintained tension for nearly two decades. The feud traces back to the mid-2000s, when 50 Cent released a diss track called “The Bomb,” accusing Combs of involvement in the Notorious B.I.G. ‘s 1997 murder, a claim the latter has always denied, according to PEOPLE. Over the years, the animosity has persisted, driven by industry rivalries, competition over endorsements (such as vodka brands), and public comments.
The rivalry surged to new heights in 2023, when 50 Cent started weighing in on Combs’ legal troubles, following a series of controversies. The drama first intensified in November 2023 when Combs’ ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, accused him of rape and sexual assault. He denied the claims, and the lawsuit was settled the very next day. At the time, 50 Cent joked about Combs losing some of his business partnerships, posting on X that he would be willing to step in.
A few months later, Combs faced more upheaval when authorities raided his Los Angeles and Miami homes through HSI investigations. 50 Cent again shared his thoughts on X, suggesting he believed the allegations against Combs were legitimate.
“Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done,” he wrote. “They don’t come like that unless they got a case.”
In 2025, the rivalry gained fresh attentionwith the release of the Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, executive-produced by 50 Cent. The series highlights sexual misconduct allegations and the legal troubles surrounding Combs, including his criminal conviction and prison sentence, and some interpreted 50 Cent’s involvement as an extension of their long-standing beef rather than a neutral project.
Even in isolation from official beef moments, fans and commentators treat the documentary and 50 Cent’s relentless public commentary as proof the feud hasn’t cooled.
Remy Ma vs. Papoose & Claressa Shields

In 2024, the Remy Ma and Papoose cheating scandal reached a peak when professional boxer Claressa Shields called out Remy Ma after the rapper accused her of having an affair with Papoose. But the drama escalated in May 2025 when Remy publicly criticized her estranged husband for allegedly delaying their divorce.
On Thursday, May 22, 2025, Remy went live on Instagram to address comments Shields made on The Breakfast Club, saying she had no “ill-will” toward the situation. The boxer said that while Papoose’s divorce had to be “taken care of,” she and the rapper were madly in love despite Remy’s “chaos.”
During an Instagram Live session, Remy insisted that she had already moved on from the drama and had requested that Papoose file for divorce. She even offered to pay for it if necessary. She added, “Everything is signed and ready to go,” putting the delay on her ex, and hinted that if Shields wanted to shell out cash for the split to be official, it would be “great.”
Papoose quickly responded on Instagram, sharing a screenshot of an email confirming that he had filed for divorce in New Jersey.
“This was so easy to file for divorce. Why hasn’t she done it? #pumpfaking,” he wrote. “The only reason I haven’t filed previously is for the sake of my daughter. She has to go to school. When two individuals behave like civilized adults, you can get a divorce peacefully/privately. And that was my intentions. But when a person wants to be bitter, & clout chase. It turns into a circus. Which can lead to an embarrassment for my child.”
He went on to call Remy a liar and claimed she had been trying to get back together with him. Remy Ma fired back on IG Live, calling her ex a liar for suggesting she wanted to rekindle their relationship. She also accused him of failing in his fatherly duties.
“Sidebar: and you haven’t taken my daughter to or from school since last year. But that’s allegedly why u got a place so close to my crib lol Double Sidebar: Like I always tell you…If u miss me, just say that, no need to start an unnecessary fight.”
Regarding the divorce filing, the rapper claimed that Papoose waited until she publicly called him out before filing.
“Did y’all see the date on that divorce filing? He filed that today. He filed that today. Who gave you the money? They gave you the money? You should thank me. Look at me doing you favors again…I got y’all lit.”
The drama continued to intensify that month, with Remy claiming Papoose blocked her on social media and threatened to put his son on her IG Live to prove he wasn’t an active father. After a day of drama, Papoose claimed he had written the majority of Remy Ma’s raps.
The feud may now be cooling down, as Papoose and Shields recently appeared on The Breakfast Club, saying they wanted to move on from the controversy.
Tamar Braxton vs. Funky Dineva

In August 2025, Tamar Braxton and Funky Dineva had a very public fallout following a night that almost turned scandalous and fatal. The controversy began on Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025, when Tamar teased her new Heartbreak Retrograde EP, starring a married Mendeecees Harris, just a week after claiming she “almost died” and was “found in a pool of blood,” without giving full details.
In the promo, the 48-year-old singer was seen snuggling up with Harris, and planting a kiss on the reality TV star, though she clarified in captions that he was only a “FRIEND.” Still, the internet erupted with speculation about a possible romance. Rumors were fueled by sightings of Tamar and Mendeeces together at V12 Lounge, allegedly hours before her accident. The photos also captured Dineva partying with the singer that same night, but what started as speculation quickly turned into controversy.
Some internet sleuths accused Dinvea of having something to do with Tamar’s incident, which sent the YouTuber into a heated rampage. In a now-deleted YouTube livestream, Dineva referred to Tamar as “the lady” and claimed he had no knowledge of what happened after leaving the club.
On Aug. 27, Dineva addressed the situation on social media, expressing hurt over Tamar’s silence over the allegations. He also called her accident “a PR stunt,” claiming he was used as “collateral damage” to promote the singer’s new album.
He continued:
“@Tamarbraxton you ain’t even gone try to clear any of this up and tell these people I didn’t do anything to you…. I was accused of NOT BEING A FRIEND TO YOU. When at the end of the day, it was YOU NOT BEING A FRIEND TO ME!! I didn’t deserve any of this, and I’m deeply hurt!”
Tamar eventually responded, stating she didn’t want to fight with the social media star.
“No matter what he says, I love @MsFunkyDineva anyway. Had I known what was going on while I was in the hospital trying to recover, I would have said something. It’s terrible that what ever I DIDN’T say turned into all this. I just want PEACE.”
She clarified on Instagram that she did not fake her accident.
“I wish it was a lie. Or a ‘PR’ stunt. I’m devastated that ANYONE would suggest that. Please enjoy my EP. I worked very hard, and I spent my OWN money for my Tamartian friends to enjoy.”
A day later, on Aug. 28, Tamar shared a joint video explaining her injurieswith Dr. Amira Ogunleye, which included “multiple dental fractures, a nasal fracture, and even a tooth completely knocked out of the socket.” Despite this, Dineva continued to criticize her online.
The Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef simmered long before 2025, but dominated headlines this year. According to USA Today, tension began with subliminal messages in tracks dating back to 2013, including Lamar’s “Control,” which aimed at Drake.
But the beef really boiled up after the release of Drake and J. Cole’s 2023 track “First Person Shooter.” On the infamous track, J.Cole called himself and the two rivals the “big three” of rap, but that title didn’t sit well with Lamar. The Cali-bred hip-hop artist responded in Future and Metro Boomin’s March release “Like That” rapping: “forget ‘the big three … it’s just big me” and apparently referencing Drake: “It’s time for him to prove that he’s a problem.”
This led to Lamar’s 2024 diss track “Not Like Us,” which carried into 2025 with a ton of success and sizzling drama. The trackwon five Grammys in February 2025, and Lamarperformed it at the Super Bowl, showcasing his trolling skills, alongside Drake’s ex Serena Williams, no less.
Drake wasn’t silent, however. The Super Bowl performance came after Drizzy filed a defamation lawsuit in NYC against Universal Music Group over the fiery diss, claiming the lyrics and music video falsely portrayed him as a pedophile, damaging his reputation. TMZ reported that Drake alleged UMG promoted the track to devalue his brand. The case wasdismissedin October 2025, though Drake filed a motion to appeal that same month.
Nicki Minaj vs. SZA
Source: Christopher Polk
Nicki Minaj also took aim at SZA in 2025. In July, the Grammy-nominated rapper publicly accused SZA’s manager, TDE’s Terrence “Punch” Henderson, of bullying her.
It all began on July 15, when Nicki called out Henderson, claiming he was “bullying” her on “Twitter for no reason.” The origin of the allegations was unclear, though Punch had tweeted about “Broken Barbies” earlier that morning. While the tweet referred to Lyric Michelle’s new song from his “Room Full Of Mirrors” group and had nothing to do with Nicki, she appeared to take it personally.
Shortly after Nicki’s rant, SZA responded on X with a cryptic message: “Mercury retrograde…don’t take the bait lol silly goose.” Though she didn’t mention anyone specifically, Nicki immediately accused her of subtweeting and went on the offensive:
“Go draw your freckles back on bookie,” she tweeted. “Bh looking & sounding like she got stung by a fing bee. dot dot dot Draws on my fake freckles.”
Nicki also criticized SZA’s achievements, targeting her record-breaking 2022 album, SOS, which went 9X platinum in under 3 years. The album made SZA the only Black artist to spend over 80 weeks in the Billboard 200’s Top 10, surpassing Michael Jackson’s record, as previously reported.
“B***h put out a whole new album as a deluxe to an already existing album that was out for like a year or 2, so the original album could break records,” Nicki said. “Like what in the insecure lack of morals & integrity you doing? I thought she was like a real artist? Girl bye.”
The two traded a few more barbs before the feud appeared to simmer down.
Eventually, SZA responded to one of Nicki’s tweets, calling her a “fake girl’s girl” and highlighting her alleged superiority. The TDE singer presented evidence that Minaj had requested features from her twice and even rapped lyrics SZA had written:
“Nicki … You absolutely know my music and what I contribute cause you’ve asked for features twice to no response,” she tweeted. “In addition to rapping my lyrics on feeling myself ‘Cooking up the bass looking like a kilo’? Lol ur having a moment … I’m not sure why, but be blessed.”
SZA also shared a screenshot of alleged messages between a team member and Nicki asking, “Is SZA recording right now? Got this hook, I think she would be dope on.” From there, the online beef largely dissipated.
In a November GQ interview, SZAaddressed the situation, explaining there was “no backstory” and that she didn’t even know Nicki personally.
“I don’t know her,” SZA began. “We have no connection to each other. There’s no backstory. Like, there was no through-line narrative. It was just like, ‘Roc Nation…I don’t know where it came from. That’s not even my place to correct a narrative that I don’t got s**t to do with. It was a little strange. It was very like, ‘Why?’ But also, you know, ‘I guess.’ ”

Claressa Shields is making moves again, and the TL is taking notes! The undisputed heavyweight champ, five-division titleholder, and two-time Olympic gold medalist just inked a historic deal that lets her keep her foot on necks. And apparently, home isn’t just where the heart is—it’s where the bag stays! Sis is also entering her rapper era with her man, Papoose, at her side!
This month, news broke that Shields signed a guaranteed $8 million multi-fight partnership with Salita Promotions and Wynn Records, the music agency that houses her boyfriend, Papoose. The 30-year-old pound-for-pound queen of women’s boxing toyed with free agency, but ultimately decided to stay loyal to Dmitriy Salita, her first—and only—promoter. And now, she’s making history as the first athlete signed to Wynn Records, bridging the worlds of music and boxing in a major flex.
Fans had expected Shields to chase bigger payday fights, but she recently had social media buzzing after clips from her latest freestyle surfaced online. The undisputed champ brought her bars to BET’s new ‘106 & Sports’ series, and baby, she didn’t come to play. Hopping straight into her GWOAT bag, Claressa proved she brings the same heat to her raps as she does to the ring—flexing with lines like, “I be on that Master P, my credit card ain’t got no limit!” Additionally, Shields’ camp hasn’t revealed how many fights the deal includes or who she’ll face next, but she’s officially set to return to the ring in early 2026. And let’s just say, the boxing—and music—world are bracing for impact.
Wynn Gets Candid About Claressa Shields Signing (EXCLUSIVE)
In an exclusive conversation, the agency shared that they want to highlight Claressa Shields’ impact both inside and outside the ring, showing that her influence extends beyond boxing. An executive at Wynn Records, Lefty, shared the intention behind partnering with the champ for such a monumental deal and Papoose’s role in her journey:
“Wynn signed Claressa Shields because we strongly support uplifting women and she’s [considered] the most decorated female fighter of all time.” He shared that even while being a “2x Olympic gold medalist,” she is “strongly considering going for a 3rd.”
When asked how the partnership came to be, Lefty told The Shade Room, “Papoose is an executive at Wynn and it started off [with] our team showing support, attending Claressa’s fights,” adding, “our owner Ruben saw a vision for her.”
When asked how Claressa’s partner Papoose supports her endeavors, Lefty added, “Papoose lends stability, encouragement and emotional support.”
Additionally, fans are wondering why Claressa has ventured into music, with some linking it to the rumored Remy Ma feud. However, Lefty shut down any speculation saying, “The champ has a strong passion for music [even though] boxing is her first priority. She’s currently working on an album simply [to] create the music she loves and show love to her hometown.”
Remy Ma Shakes The Table With Cryptic Comments
It looks like Claressa Shields may be leaving a few people shook. In a clip shared by Live Bitez, Remy Ma recently went live in a grey shirt and cute bangs, saying she’s been “chilling” and not going off on folks even though people have been asking her to. Remy Ma claims to be behaving and keeping her cool, even though “they be asking for it,” leaving fans speculating that Claressa could be the one in the mix.
And, as previously reported, Laila Ali went live on YouTube with a 26-minute video dropping “receipts and documented evidence,” insisting Shields’ claim about a $15 million fight offer was false and taken out of context. Furthermore, Ali made it crystal clear whether Shields had made her “mad enough” to step out of retirement. “Absolutely not,” she said. On top of that, Shields seemingly caught wind of the video and called Ali “scared, old & bitter.”
Claressa Shields & Papoose Celebrate Their 1-Year Anniversary With Sweet Social Media Posts
On Tuesday, September 23, Claressa Shields took to her Instagram to share a special post with her more than 1.6 million followers and, more importantly, with her man.

Before Celebrating Her Anniversary With Papoose, Claressa Shields Linked Up With His Eldest Daughter
Before celebrating her 1-year anniversary with Papoose, Claressa Shields turned heads alongside his eldest daughter, Dejanae Mackie.

Hot New Hip Hopreports a newly released recording featuring the admitted adulterer that reveals the aftermath of his alleged affair with Remy, 43. If the audio recording of Eazy chatting with a “friend” is true, it’s a wrap for the “Black Love” legends.
Eazy shared shocking details, including how Remy begged him not to speak publicly about their affair. He also highlighted the friction he currently has with Pap, 45.
“She don’t want me to,” the lyricist stated. “She been on my a** like asking me like please don’t do it. I’m like aite copy. I’m just asking you do that for me,” he claimed.
The battle rapper believes Papoose should make a statement to clear Remy of the affair.
“Why am I the only one doing something for you?” he asked in reference to Remy’s request for him to remain mum. He continued, “Why he not though? Talking bout he held you down from jail. This n***a got 16 years in.”
“He could have stopped all of that s**t with a tweet.”
We’re assuming Pap’s loyalty died when his wife allegedly laid down with you, sir.

Eazy added that Papoose “made it look weird,” but he’s “been wit shorty, whose real name is Reminisce Kioni Mackie.
“The fact that she said something, I said something and you didn’t. That make it look weird,” he added. “The fact that you posted a Father’s Day picture without her, make it look weird.”
Eazy continued, “N***as starting to try to figure it out like is he f******g with Remy? But not knowing that I been wit shorty. N****s don’t know that she been at my crib since then.”

Then the battle rapper made a few statements that could be classified as clout chasing.
“She don’t want what’s about to happen. This little b***s**t right now is already hitting and stressing her out. We’re like yo let’s not make it to Shaderoom. Let’s not make it to TMZ, but in my head I’m just like man f**k that. I already got 5,000 followers in 2 days.
Someone seems to be geeked about the little notoriety he’s receiving.
Eazy continued, “I told her I say whatever you want me to. But tell this n***a he has to see me though.”
He fumed, “I don’t even give a f**k if I lose but we have to fight though.”
Mista, you already allegedly got papped up once.Simmer down.
Eazy then addressed the backlash he’s received from the internet.
“She just needs to let [the public] know they’re not together,” he tells the snitch.
“I’m already getting killed yo like he’s a homewrecker,” he vented. He continued, “From battle rap I’m getting killed and from the industry I’m getting killed. Now I gotta switch my career around. I’m the bad guy now.”
The Philadelphia rapper claims Papoose revels in the fact that he got the best of him during a scuffle after discovering his wife’s infidelity.
“I think he like that sh**. Like yo ‘I beat up my girl new dude,’ he said about the Pap, born Shamele Mackie.
Cheating rumors took flight at Remy’s Chrome 23 Battle Rap showcase. Geechi Gotti allegedly outed her during a battle rap matchup with Eazy. While Remy stood in between the men during the battle, Gotti took aim at the rapstress.
“If n****s found out you was f****g the help, that could really ruin your image,” he rapped.
Geechi then referenced the alleged altercation between the “Sharades” rapper and Eazy.
“When you ain’t feeling good, [Pap] put you in the back in the best moods. So, he’ll be damned to see you get stepped to by a n***a that he socked out and stood over like a stepstool.”
