WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Claressa Shields has addressed rumors circulating online that she is expecting a baby with her rapper boyfriend, Papoose. The rumors began after she was captured on video exiting Pap’s luxury vehicle wearing a white bodycon dress that seemingly showed a small belly bump. Shortly after, Claressa hopped on Instagram Live, and her fans bombarded her with questions. “I’m not pregnant, y’all,” Shields said during the live. “I don’t know why everybody keeps saying that. If I was pregnant, I would tell y’all.”
The boxer says she has discussed having children with Papoose in the future. “It’s something we’re considering,” she added. “But when it happens, y’all will be the first to know.” Since her relationship with Papoose was exposed by the rapper’s estranged wife, Remy Ma, Claressa has faced heightened scrutiny when it comes to her looks. “It’s always the light-skinned girls who think they just so pretty and just because they’re born light-skinned, that they’re all that. That they can come over here talking s–t,” she said at the time. “One, I look better than you. So you can get off my s–t. That’s one and then two, why you on my stuff if you don’t like me? Why? Oh, it’s giving obsessed light-skin, red-bone. Get your funny-looking a– up outta here. I don’t play with this b—h,” she added.
