Boxing champion Claressa Shields isn’t here for the negativity surrounding her new relationship with rapper Papoose.
After posting a sweet picture of them together at Power 106 FM, Shields proudly captioned it with: “All men don’t cheat, my man don’t 😊” — a clear statement amid public skepticism and online chatter.
But things didn’t stop there. Shields later doubled down on her post after it sparked heavy reaction across social platforms, particularly from trolls questioning her love life. Quoting the original post on X (formerly Twitter), she added:
“This post had social media in a headlock, I ain’t gone lie. People are so unhappy & projecting. Grow up and accept change. It’s ok. Nobody died!”
