Is Claressa Shields Sending Remy Ma A Message With This “Jezebel” Post?
Claressa Shields is keeping the pressure on — or is she?
Just hours after Shields fired back at Remy Ma over the “face of women’s boxing” moment (a post she has since deleted), the GWOAT reposted a message to her Instagram Story on Tuesday that read: “people tend to forget how Jezebel story ended.”
Shields didn’t name Remy Ma. She didn’t name anybody. There was no caption, no tag, no explanation — just the repost, captured by Baller Alert before the Story ran its course.
So why is everybody reading it as a shot at Remy? Because “Jezebel” is not a random word in this triangle. It’s the title of the diss record Papoose — Shields’ man and Remy’s estranged husband — dropped on September 11, aimed at Remy as their divorce war played out in public. On the record, Papoose accused his wife of cheating, questioned her honesty and claimed he wrote some of her rhymes — claims Remy has disputed. Shields publicly defended the song at the time, praising it on Instagram Live and saying its message needed to be heard.
And the biblical story Shields is pointing at does not end peacefully. In 2 Kings 9, Jezebel is thrown from a window, trampled by horses, and what is left of her is eaten by dogs — a story long tied to judgment and punishment.
The timing is doing the rest of the talking. On Sunday night in Arlington, Remy was ringside for Alycia Baumgardner, watched her beat Elif Nur Turhan by unanimous decision (100-90 on all three cards) to win the IBF lightweight title, then grabbed the mic in the ring to declare Baumgardner “the face” of women’s boxing before celebrating with her at the club afterward. Shields answered that on X — “Man don’t nobody care about that bitter lady jumping up there and yelling that mess. Go play.” — and then deleted it.

There’s another layer, too: Shields and Baumgardner have their own smoke. The two champions got into a heated confrontation at a Most Valuable Promotions event in California back in May, and Shields was banned from MVP events after it. So the “Jezebel” repost could be aimed at Remy, could be aimed at the whole Remy-and-Baumgardner link-up, or could be nothing at all. Shields has not explained it, and timing alone doesn’t prove a target.
But let’s keep it a stack: Shields knows exactly what that word means in this situation, and she posted it the morning after Remy spent the night celebrating with her rival. Nothing about that looks accidental.
What do y’all think — is Claressa Shields sending Remy Ma a message with the “Jezebel” repost, or are people reaching? Sound off in the comments.
