Claressa Shields has already conquered boxing, but now she’s stepping into a whole new arena. The two-time Olympic gold medalist and undisputed middleweight champion is officially adding “rapper” to her résumé, introducing herself to fans as Ressa Da GWOAT.
The Flint native has been teasing her rap debut online, announcing her single “Poke The GWOAT” and even sharing clips of her spitting bars. But this isn’t just playful energy on social media. Shields has been spotted filming a music video, confirming that she’s serious about making noise in the rap world.

Adding another layer to the excitement is her relationship with hip hop veteran Papoose. The two have gone public with their romance, and Papoose’s presence in her life has sparked conversation about whether his rap legacy is influencing Shields’ leap into music. Given his years of lyrical experience, some fans think the timing of her new venture makes perfect sense.
For now, Shields remains focused on both her boxing dominance and her new artistic lane. Whether the rap world embraces her as fiercely as the fight game did is yet to be seen, but one thing is certain: Ressa Da GWOAT isn’t stepping quietly into this next chapter.
