Claressa Shields said what she said — and the timeline has not stopped talking about it since.
The boxing champion hopped on X after folks started claiming her boyfriend Papoose is just using her for money, and her response was an instant classic. Shields joked that if she is being “manipulated,” then at least that so-called manipulation put $8 million in her account — with a partner who has her back through whatever. Her words: at least she is not going broke, and at least she is not getting cheated on.
The post, which started making the rounds on October 12 (The Neighborhood Talk was among the pages sharing it), split fans right down the middle. Some called it a flex — and honestly, can you blame her? Others praised her for standing firmly on her success and her relationship, refusing to let strangers dictate who she loves.
Meanwhile, Shields has also been trading words online with boxing rival Franchón Crews-Dezurn, so it has been a busy week for the GWOAT, in and out of the ring.
Love it or side-eye it, one thing is for sure: Claressa Shields is going to speak her mind, and she is not apologizing for being happy, paid, and unbothered. Period.
