Claressa Shields says her boyfriend Papoose is usually right, and she still tells him he is wrong. She shared the pet peeve in an interview with Trsh Magazine that The Shade Room reported on Nov. 1.
Claressa Shields Opens Up About Arguing With Papoose
The Shade Room posted its report at 18:35 UTC on Nov. 1. According to the outlet, Shields said Papoose is right most of the time, but she argues with him anyway. In her words, he is “right A LOT, but I’m going to tell him he’s wrong.” She added that women do not let men win arguments.
Shields also credited Papoose with advice about social media. He told her to stop reacting to trolls, she said. She agreed with the advice in part. She disagreed that trolls are trying to bait her, and she said they are really just asking to get beaten. The outlet also said she performed a short freestyle during the interview and threw shade at women who call themselves the GWOAT without much to show for it. GWOAT is the nickname Shields uses for herself in boxing.
The Shade Room does not say when Trsh Magazine recorded the interview. Its Nov. 1 report is the earliest coverage found. Shields uses GWOAT, short for greatest woman of all time, as her own nickname. The Shade Room’s headline plays on that title. Her jab at women who borrow the label points to the self-branding that surrounds her boxing career, though the report does not name any target.
Fans React To The Papoose Pet Peeve
Comments on Trsh Magazine’s Instagram post split three ways, per The Shade Room. Some agreed with Papoose and said she always wants to fight. Others sided with Shields and joked that they are always right regardless. A third group criticized her, with one commenter calling a refusal to admit being wrong immature. Many simply praised her or laughed. The mixed reaction matches the pattern around Shields and Papoose. Their relationship draws strong views, and any comment about their dynamic gets read through the history of his marriage to Remy Ma.
The Papoose Divorce Timeline Behind The Chatter
That history matters for context. Complex reported that Shields and Papoose went public in late 2024 after Remy Ma exposed the relationship. Papoose and Remy Ma publicly confirmed their separation in 2025 after nine years of marriage, according to Complex. Shields discussed the pending divorce on The Breakfast Club in May 2025. On July 30, 2026, Complex reported, Shields rejected the label “somebody’s husband” on Streetz 94.5 FM. She said Papoose had filed for divorce because he is serious about her, and she said the process takes time and he is still going through it. None of the outlets reviewed reports a finalized divorce.
The radio host Mz. Shyneka pressed her on the same topic, which set off a public feud. Outlets differ on the timing. TheJasmineBRAND’s Oct. 29 report places the original exchange in July, and its earlier story on Shields calling out the host ran Aug. 4. On Oct. 29, 2026, theJasmineBRAND reported that the two had squashed the dispute. Shyneka said they listened to each other and apologized, and she wrote that they had “Squashed it & Moved on!” Baller Alert also reported the apology that day.
In the July 30 interview, Complex reported, Shields also said critics push a narrative that she took Remy Ma’s former husband, and she pointed out that divorces and breakups happen all the time. Baller Alert headlined its Oct. 29 story on the truce as an apology from both women after the “somebody’s husband” jab.
What To Watch For Shields And Papoose
Shields has stayed active on and off the canvas. BlackAmericaWeb reported on Aug. 17, 2026 that she stopped Kaye Scott to reclaim her world titles. An iHeart report dated March 24, 2026 said she and Papoose want to start a family in 2027. Those plans give fans reasons to track the relationship, and they explain why a light interview about arguments draws this much interest.
The next signals will come from the divorce filing and from Shields herself. A finalized divorce would end one line of criticism. A new interview or a fresh round of online jabs would restart the other. For now, the Trsh Magazine clip offers a lighter side of a relationship that has spent two years under a microscope.
