Claressa Shields is proving once again that there are no limits to what she can conquer. Known worldwide as the first American woman to win two Olympic gold medals in boxing and the only fighter to hold all four major world titles in three different weight classes, the Flint, Michigan, native is now stepping into the music world — and on day one, she already has hip-hop buzzing.
This morning on “The Breakfast Club” the cast shared their excitement for Shields’ brand-new track, “Ms.IDGAF2 Remix,” and their reactions made it clear: the champ is holding her own on the mic.
The Breakfast Club Claressa Shields Reaction
Charlamagne Tha God lit up with enthusiasm as soon as the record came up. “She sounds in pocket. The bars is hitting!” he declared, praising the way Shields carried herself on the track with the same confidence she brings into the ring.
Co-host Jess Hilarious added her own stamp of approval, highlighting one of the best qualities of the song: authenticity. “The best thing about her song is that she’s talking about herself,” Jess said.
And Charlamagne wasn’t done. With a grin, he added, “We know Pap was in the studio making sure she came correct.” He was referring to Papoose — the lyrical rap veteran, former president of hiphop at Tunecore, and Shields’ current boyfriend — who clearly played a role in sharpening her already strong delivery.
Claressa Shields Shows Faith & Fire in ‘Ms.IDGAF2 Remix’
The track itself shows Shields doing what she does best: standing tall in her truth. In her verse, she raps, “Misses pray before I fight. Yeah, I study my bible.” It’s a line that perfectly ties her faith, discipline, and competitive fire into a statement that is both personal and powerful.
At only 30 years old, Shields has already accomplished more than most athletes achieve in a lifetime. Yet, she still finds room to surprise the world by jumping into new lanes — and excelling from the start. Day 1 in music, and she already has one of the biggest radio shows in the country cosigning her.
Could Music Be Another Championship Lane for Claressa Shields?
Shields has favor in every arena she steps into, and music might be no different. Her presence, her bars, and her confidence make her a natural fit for hip-hop, and with the right momentum, this could be the beginning of yet another decorated chapter in her career.
For now, the sports world and the music world will be watching closely to see just how far she can take it. If history is any clue, Claressa Shields doesn’t enter a ring — or a booth — without aiming to win.
