Comedian Gerald Huston says he is considering taking legal action against rapper Papoose and his girlfriend, Claressa Shields, after he was allegedly assaulted while carrying out a prank on the celebrity couple.
Speaking to TMZ, he says he is now thinking about suing them for defamation after Shields took to the internet to tell her fans about the alleged incident.
Huston upset Shields after he approached her, repeatedly calling her “Serena [Williams]” which is a bit he’s known for.
“I’ve been talking to a lawyer and counsel just because of the lies that have been told about me and spread about my name,” Huston told the outlet.

“I was assaulted, and they admitted they assaulted me online but I don’t do my videos for this reason. That’s why I didn’t wanna mention it ’cause I don’t do my videos to get the wrong reaction out of somebody and be like ‘oh let me sue you now.””
During the altercation, Pap allegedly threw a book in Huston’s face, which left a minor gash on his nose.
