Claressa Shields has a simple, dismissive message for 50 Cent after the rapper took to social media to troll her appearance ahead of her highly anticipated boxing match: she is completely unbothered.

In a candid video shared from her training camp, the two-time Olympic gold medalist and undisputed world champion laughed off the criticism, focusing instead on her upcoming fight and a series of major announcements. The video showed Shields modeling a new orange workout set from the brand Alo, a color she clearly loves.
āAlo came out with that orange set today. I said what? Nothing.
It didnāt come out. Where? WHERE THE MY HAT AT?ā
Shields said, laughing as she playfully searched for her hat. She then addressed the brand directly: āAlo, listen. Me and Alo are in a relationship.
I donātāAlo rocks with me because how Alo come out with my favorite color like this.ā
Shields, known for her fierce confidence both inside and outside the ring, used the moment to pivot to her August 15th fight against K. Scott at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. She promised fireworks and a massive walkout, teasing a ābig announcementā about who will escort her to the ring.
āAugust 15th, yāall know whatās up. I got a big announcement about who walking your girl out to the ring,ā she said, adding that she would reveal the details on Wednesday. She also invited fans to a meet-and-greet at Buckhead Gym in Atlanta, urging them to buy tickets early: āI promise you this happens every fight.
They wait till last minute, right?ā
The trolling from 50 Cent, who has a history of feuding with athletes, appears to have only fueled Shieldsā determination. She addressed the criticism directly in the video, though without naming the rapper: āI hate when you run your mouth out on all platforms⦠Send that song to somebody who always running their mouth but aināt going to do nothing. Send that to somebody.ā
Shields made clear that her focus remains on the August 15th bout, where she will attempt to become a 21-time world champion. She emphasized the difficulty of dropping down to 160 pounds, a weight class where she has already been undisputed twice. āAll the stress Iāve been through in this camp, first of all, to get down to this weight class 160.
Iām going to fā her up just for that,ā she said, referencing her opponent.
The video also captured Shieldsā playful interactions with her team and fans. She joked about a friend who arrives late, calling him a ācelebrityā who waits a week to congratulate her after a fight. She gave shoutouts to friends like āBonesā and āDawson,ā and addressed fans in the comments, including one who said they were pregnant.
Shields even revealed details about her fight night outfit, telling fans the dress code is āgold and diamonds whateverā but that she has a special color planned. She described the event as a party: āItās going to be lit. Itās going to be a party party after party after party party after party after party party.ā
The meet-and-greet in Atlanta is scheduled for later this week, and Shields encouraged fans to also secure tickets to the fight. She promoted a discount code: āFor those who love me, use my family and friends code W0AT10. G W O A T10.
Woke 10.ā
With exactly three weeks until the fight, Shields is feeling confident. She noted that Atlanta is already āgoing crazyā and that she has lost significant weight. āYāall donāt even want to know how much weight I done lost.
She talk to me nice,ā she said, referring to her opponent.
The trolling from 50 Centāwho posted a video mocking Shieldsā appearanceāappears to have backfired. Instead of rattling her, it has only added to her motivation. āIām not coming to play around,ā she warned.
āAll the stress Iāve been through in this camp⦠Iām going to fā her up just for that.ā
Shields also took aim at critics who said she didnāt want to fight at 160 pounds. āJust for yāall saying, āOh, Claressa donāt want to do 160.ā Like, I havenāt been undisputed there two times already for the newcomers.
I have been champion at 160 already. Undisputed twice. I beat a lot of girls at 160 already, but then I went to 175 and yāall started complaining because I was knocking those girls out.
Yāall come back down. So now Iām coming back down and Iām going to fā her up. So Iām letting yāall know that the reason she get to go back because you all came with me and put extra stress on me to make weight class 160.ā
The fight against K. Scott, a two-time world champion, is shaping up to be a major event. Shields has promised an electrifying atmosphere, and her unbothered attitude suggests she is fully prepared for whatever comes her wayāincluding online trolls.
As the video wrapped, Shields expressed gratitude to her fans: āI just love it how yāall in the comments yāall like, āHey, Iām coming. Iāll be there.ā That is so much love.ā
She then signed off with a reminder: āTicket link is in my bio, you guys. And donāt bring too much to the meet-and-greetājust one little suitcase.ā
With 50 Centās trolling now firmly in the rearview mirror, Claressa Shields is all business. The countdown to August 15th has begun.
