Papoose is giving Claressa Shields her flowers—and making sure she knows just how much he admires her. The rap veteran took a moment to publicly celebrate the undefeated boxing champion after she secured a major $8 million deal, a milestone that further cements her status as one of the most dominant athletes in the world.
Papoose didn’t hold back his affection or his pride. He made it clear that he “loves her to death,” praising Shields not just for her accomplishments in the ring but for her resilience, discipline, and impact on the culture. The two have shared mutual respect for years, and Papoose’s words highlight how deeply he values her journey.
As Shields continues breaking barriers and stacking historic wins, the support from figures like Papoose reinforces the magnitude of what she’s achieved—both as an elite fighter and as a cultural icon. With this new multimillion-dollar deal, the GWOAT keeps proving that her greatness extends far beyond the boxing ring.
