In a new interview, two-time Olympic gold medalist and champion boxer Claressa Shields is talking her ish as she offers up $100,000 for any woman who thinks they can “whoop her a**!” She also talks about Laila Ali, Remy Ma, and boyfriend Papoose.
While appearing on the December 5 episode of Justin Laboy’s podcast, ‘#RESPECTFULLY: The Justin Laboy Show,’ Shields talked about her career, her being the GWOAT (Greatest Woman of All Time), her different dramas with legendary boxer Laila Ali and rapper Remy Ma, and her relationship with Remy’s estranged husband, Grammy Award-nominated rapper Papoose.
As Shields talked about her boxing career, she addressed her issues with famed boxer Laila Ali. Laboy asked Shields about her labeling Ali a “Bitter Betty” and claiming she “wasted her time” with a 28-minute shared online addressing Shields’ $15 million boxing request, and more. In her new interview, Shields again claimed Ali wasted her time while ducking the smoke.
“She’s 47. I’m 30. I’m pound-for-pound number one fighter in the world. Just let it go. Let it go. I made my video back to clear the air, and let the people know, ‘Don’t be fooled by that bull crap, lies. People fabricating a story and mixing up storylines and stuff. Don’t be fooled by that.
She’s not going to fight against me. And guess what? It’s bigger and better fish to fry. That’s cool. It’s not stopping nothing. With her video, she tried to defame my character. She spoke about things outside of boxing.”
Later in the interview, Shields offers $100,000 for any woman who believes they can “whoop her a**.” After Laboy asked her about “a girl in some hood thinking she’s tough and could beat these boxers up,” Shields said:
“No. I got 100K for any girl that can whoop my a**. She can come out to my gym. I have a 100K right there. She whoop me, I’ll give her 100K. Now, [if] she lose, she can get the f**k on. But, I know for a fact, a chick off the street can’t whoop me. Girls who train their whole life can’t whoop me. What the hell somebody on the street going to do?
Listen, I don’t care about how much boxing experience they got, who they train with, if they did coke [cocaine] before we fought, I don’t care what you’re talking about. You whooping my a** is not… Listen, I don’t think there’s a lot of men that can beat me.”
Claressa Shields Rejects Collab With Remy Ma And Talks Love For ‘Crash Out Protector’ Papoose
While opening up about her boyfriend, Grammy Award-nominated rapper Papoose, Claressa Shields reveals her intense love for the man who protects her from crashing out, and more. During the interview, Shields talks about being single for a month or two before meeting Pap. She said she loves him dearly, explaining:
“I love Pap, asa far as how he supports my career, how he supports me, how he’s my best friend, how we can talk about anything, how we laugh, how we work out together, how protective he is. People think that because I’m very strong, and I’m very confident…
I do have my times where I’m very frustrated and I’m having a hard time, and Pap is there to protect me and hold me, and make sure that I’m good. Because I will crash out. Nobody’s seen that on the internet. Pap has seen me crash out before. He’s seen me be really mad. He’s seen me scream. He’s seen me yell. He’s seen me go off and he’s been the person to keep me calm.”
Now, when it comes to Papoose’s estranged wife, rapper Remy Ma, Laboy asks Shields, who’s venturing into her rap era, if she’ll ever squash their beef and hop on a track with her. She simply said, “No.” Laboy asked why not and she replied,
“Well, one, we’re in two different time zones [generations]. And I don’t know a lot of her music, just to be fair. But, [there are] girls I would collab with now: Latto, GloRilla. Like, GloRilla is more my speed. More of my speed is Megan Thee Stallion. Cardi [B]. Bia. Talking about girls that are beefing. You know what I’m saying? But, I’mma work my way up to that.”
Laboy clarified, “So, we never seeing the Claressa and Remy collab?” Shields quipped:
“That’s just something you wanted to ask. You know that wasn’t the [?] question. Now something with me and Pap? Yes. We do not have a song together yet. No, we don’t. And me and him was talking about that the other day because we spend so much time together you would think we have everything together, but we don’t. I don’t even think it dawned on him and it didn’t dawn on me. But, when he asked me, I’m like, ‘We don’t. Like, are you gonna rap about me?’ Like, I mentioned him in some of my raps that I haven’t released. But, we haven’t done a song together yet.”
