Title: Papoose slander will not be tolerated on her watch
Boxing champ Claressa Shields is known for her power in the ring, but she’s proving once again she’s just as bold outside of it. The two-time Olympic gold medalist made waves online after making it crystal clear: Papoose slander will not be tolerated on her watch.
Taking to social media, Claressa put fans and trolls alike on notice, writing: “No Papoose slander allowed in my comment section!” The bold statement came amid growing online chatter surrounding the rapper and his longtime relationship with fellow lyricist Remy Ma.
But what exactly prompted her to speak out—and why now?
Why Claressa Is Defending Papoose
While Claressa didn’t specify what triggered her comment, the internet is no stranger to rumors and speculation surrounding Papoose and Remy Ma’s marriage. The couple, who have long been hailed as “relationship goals” in hip-hop, found themselves at the center of breakup rumors in 2023 after Remy was accused of having an affair with fellow battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain.
Although neither party directly confirmed the allegations, the rumor mill hasn’t slowed down—and fans haven’t held back their opinions.
Now, it seems that Papoose, who many credit for holding Remy down during her prison sentence and supporting her through thick and thin, has been receiving unfair criticism online. That’s where Claressa stepped in.
A History of Loyalty
Claressa and Papoose have had a positive public relationship for years. Papoose, known for uplifting Black excellence and strong women, has often praised Claressa’s trailblazing achievements in the boxing world. In return, Claressa has shown love and respect for the rapper, calling him a real one and a solid figure in the industry.
So, it’s no surprise she’d come to his defense—especially at a time when people are quick to tear others down.
“Papoose is one of the few men in the game who’s always stood ten toes down for his family,” one fan commented in support of Claressa’s stance.
Another wrote: “Claressa said what she said. We not dragging a man who raised kids, built a brand, and stayed loyal.”
Fans React to Claressa’s Post
The comments under her post were split, as expected. Some praised her loyalty and her refusal to let the negativity spread. Others questioned why she was defending someone involved in a complicated and still-speculated relationship scandal.
Regardless of where fans fall, one thing is clear: Claressa Shields isn’t one to stay silent when she feels someone deserves better treatment. And she’s not afraid to use her platform to say it, either.
Final Round: Loyalty or Overreach?
In the age of viral headlines and quick judgments, it’s rare to see public figures stand firm in their support of others without waiting for the internet’s approval. Whether or not you agree with Claressa, her message was loud and clear: she’s not entertaining any negativity around someone she respects.
