50 Cent seems to be easing up on his back and forth with Claressa Shields, acknowledging in a recent Instagram post that he is actually a supporter of the boxing star. His comments arrive after several days of sharp exchanges between the two across social media.
“Ok the truth is I’m a claressa shields fan, think she is an amazing fighter and she got a Big fight coming up, so I’m gonna chill and let her focus let’s go champ!,” 50 wrote while sharing a screenshot of a post Shields made back in 2024, where she admitted she was a fan of him.
Why Are 50 Cent & Claressa Shields Beefing?
Not long before that, Shields had posted a clip of 50 Cent introducing her on stage at an event. “Hey @50cent, GWOAT lover alert!” she wrote alongside the Instagram post. “You hooked me up with a flight to Shreveport and a hotel room, talk about a VIP! You even invited me to help out with your nonprofit for the kids. You’re still invited to the fight! I’m still honored you performed on stage holding my HEAVYWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!”
The tension between 50 Cent and Claressa Shields can be traced back to his ongoing feud with her partner, Papoose. The two rappers began taking shots at one another last month, and things escalated further as the new year began, with both sides sharing AI generated videos aimed at mocking each other.
Once Shields became directly involved, she shared her own thoughts on X formerly Twitter, writing, “These rappers don’t get they a** beat enough that’s the problem.”
Papoose and Claressa Shields are just a couple of the many names currently caught up in 50 Cent’s recent run of public disputes. He has also been trading words with Jim Jones, Fabolous, Dave East, and Maino from the Let’s Rap About It podcast. After they released a freestyle taking aim at him, 50 hinted that he is gearing up a response for 2026.
