Claressa Shields dropped a birthday love song for Papoose after 50 Cent accused her of cheating.
When Claressa Shields penned a 45-second R&B love song for Papoose on her 31st birthday on March 17, the Internet’s reaction was divided between sincere appreciation and outright derision.
The undefeated heavyweight from Flint, Miss., surprised fans by releasing the song just days after 50 Cent posted an AI-generated image claiming she was cheating on her with singer Maserati Bud.
She denied everything and threatened legal action with the support of Paps, who made it clear he would help her through the entire ordeal.
Xiaosi’s birthday gift to herself was very untraditional.
Rather than letting the accusations of the ’50s sit unchecked, she flipped the script and showed the world where her heart lay.
The song, whose lyrics include “Our love is real” and pleads for Paps’ energy, was a direct counterpoint to the drama that had been brewing all week.
Fans are divided on the move. Some praised her vulnerability and the couple’s close relationship after they hit the market in 2024.
Others feel nothing.
One commenter wrote: “Women who get caught cheating do it the most.” Another wrote: “Claressa Shields dropped the worst R&B song in history…damn Papoose.”
The criticism didn’t stop there. “Now, Clarissa! Why would you write a song for him on your birthday! Shouldn’t it be the other way around?” another person interjected.
Someone else took it a step further: “Can she just love him and stop acting like a high school student’s first relationship, the s### type? Cringeworthy.”
The off-key voice and cheesy lines instantly became meme material, but that didn’t stop Shields from standing his ground.
The birthday moment showed that Shields and Papps’ relationship remains strong amid all the noise and accusations.
