Claressa Shields Critiques Edgar Berlanga's Use of Remy Ma's Hit for Ring Entrance

Rapper Remy Ma and boxing champion Claressa Shields share a well-known animosity that has become one of hip-hop's most prominent feuds. Their discord originated from Shields’ relationship with Papoose, Remy’s soon-to-be ex-husband, leading to public clashes. Recently, all three attended the Edgar Berlanga versus Hamzah Sheeran fight, where Shields and Papoose occupied front-row seats. Remy, alongside Fat Joe, accompanied Berlanga to the ring, performing their classic hit “Lean Back,” which irked Shields enough to provoke a social media response. After the event, Shields criticized the use of “Lean Back” for walkouts, stating, “I don’t think nobody should walk out to Lean Back no more.” Fans quickly lashed out, accusing Shields of harboring jealousy. Amid the ongoing tension, Shields focuses on her upcoming bout against Lani Daniels on July 26, while subtly exchanging barbs with Laila Ali, who hinted she might return for a substantial purse.
