Claressa Shields’ Comments Ignite Controversy on Social Media
Boxing star Claressa Shields recently made headlines with her assertion that she does not engage in conflict with other women over men. However, her statement quickly led to a backlash on social media as users unearthed past interactions she had with rapper Remy Ma concerning her husband, Papoose.
Shields’ Bold Declaration
During an Instagram Live session on April 5, Shields shared her perspective on relationships and rivalries. She confidently claimed, “I’ve never had beef with a girl over a boy or a man.”
“I don’t beef, that’s all I can say. It’s never happened to me. I’m not one of them. I’ve never dealt with a man who was involved with another woman; I’ve never done that, I don’t have to,”she stated.
She elaborated further, emphasizing the strength of her past relationships:
“Any man I’ve ever been with has been a 100% for me. The last time I got mad over a dude being with me and talking to another girl, back when I was like 16. That was a long, long time ago. I’m 30 years old…I’m a multi-millionaire, I’m rich, I’m fine as hell, I’m young, I don’t got to do that.”
Shields wrapped up this discussion by encouraging her fans to “stay tuned,”insisting that she would not waste time defending herself against what she knows to be falsehoods.

As Shields’ comments spread across online platforms, reactions poured in. Many social media users were quick to respond, with some humorously questioning her memory regarding how she met Papoose.
Additionally, several fans pointed out that Papoose remained legally married to Remy Ma, adding complexity to the situation.
