Claressa Shields and Remy Ma’s beef keeps getting worse. However, fans have been able to get clarity on many things while they fight dirty online. Shields recently challenged the rapper to a fight, which got many speculating that she wanted to beat Ma for her husband. However, the professional boxer has cleared the air on why she wants to fight her boyfriend’s wife, and it is not for the reason people think.
Claressa Shields Explains Why She Wants to Battle Remy Ma
Shields has revealed her reasons for challenging Remy Ma to a fight. The mixed martial artist was with sports journalist Jemele Hill on the Spolitics Podcast to promote her new movie The Fire Inside when she disclosed why she had a beef enough to want to fight the musician. According to Claressa Shields, her desire to beat Ma has nothing to do with the cheating scandal involving her, Papoose, and Remy Ma. Rather, it has to do with Ma infringing on her privacy.
“At this point the girl leaked my number. So at this point, you can give me a dollar and I’ll put my hand over her,” Shields responded when asked how much she could fight Ma for. “It don’t have nothing to do with whatever else. That part there is where it’s like, I’m a businesswoman. Don’t leak my number. Why would you do that? I mean, drama sells. I’m not in that beef. My smoke with her is posting my number. So people like, ‘Oh, she wants to fight her over a dude, whatever,’ stop it. Stop it. That is so beneath me.”
Claressa Shields Expressed Desire to Fight Any Woman
Claressa Shields had earlier challenged any woman who would beat her in a boxing match before calling out Remy Ma. She promised a $100,000 reward, but no one responded to the challenge. She then challenged Ma to fight her on her X, formerly Twitter account. Against this backdrop, Hill asked her how much she would take to fight Ma, considering she always got paid to fight professionally.
Claressa Shields, Remy Ma, and Papoose
Ma and Shields’ feud began last week after Ma took to social media to accuse her husband, Papoose, of infidelity. Ma claimed that Papoose was cheating with Shields and leaked chats and texts between them to prove her allegations. Papoose and Shields clapped back with counter allegations of Ma cheating with another rapper, Eazy The Block Captain, and the media war has continued since then.
Papoose also claimed that Ma wasn’t home with their daughter during the last Christmas because she was tending to her lover, who he beat up. However, she debunked the allegations and shared a video as evidence. Meanwhile, Ma has also accused Papoose and Shields of planning to release revenge porn about her.
It would be good if Claressa Shields and Remy Ma settled their scores off the internet without a fight. Fans and other celebrities, including 50 Cent, have also tried to warn the boxer about challenging Ma to a fight since the rapper once went to jail for shooting at a friend.
