Social media users have mixed feelings when it comes to Claressa Shields' latest tribute to her boyfriend Papoose.

Claressa Shields and Papoose have been an item for several months, and now, it looks like the professional boxer has gotten a permanent reminder of their love. In a new clip captured by The Shade Room, she's seen at a weigh-in before her fight against Lani Daniels. Fans were quick to point out a new tattoo she has on her chest, which appears to be of Pap's name.

Unsurprisingly, social media users have mixed feelings about the ink. Some are glad to see her putting their romance on full display. Others think this may have been a step too far. "I just hope it last cause this is embarrassing," one Instagram commenter claims. "That lady is in love!!!," someone else writes.

Other users are speculating that Shields debuted her new tattoo this way in an attempt to get under the skin of Papoose's ex, Remy Ma.

After all, the two of them have exchanged their fair share of harsh words in recent months. In December of last year, for example, Remy hopped online to put Pap on blast. This is when she revealed that he's in a relationship with Shields. She posted some of their text messages too, accusing him of cheating on her with the athlete.

In response, Pap accused Remy of cheating on him with Eazy The Block Captain. That had been rumored for months leading up to this point, and was later confirmed. Shields got involved by taking to X to jokingly challenge the femcee to a boxing match.

"Claressa Shields vs @RealRemyMa Feb 2nd! Come get yo a** whooped crash out!!," she wrote at the time. During an appearance on Baby This Is Keke Palmer in March, however, she confirmed that she never had any real intentions of hurting Remy. The two of them were even able to keep things cordial when they attended the same fight earlier this month.
