Claressa Shields lit up timelines again, and nope, it’s not because Papoose is upstairs. The boxing champion hopped on TikTok’s viral ‘Liberian Girl’ Challenge, and her spicy moves have the internet cuttin’ up, per usual.
Listen, when it comes to a dance challenge, just tap Claressa Shields in. Winter or not, the GWOAT pulled up, giving straight summer vibes while jumping on the ‘Liberian Girl’ Challenge. The trend comes with a few spicy lil’ moves set to Michael Jackson’s classic, and of course, Claressa added her own sauce especially when it came to the twerk. She rocked a yellow two-piece with a crop top and pleated mini skirt, then hit a smooth walk-off that said it all. If you ask her, she ate that up and left zero crumbs. Peep the video below.
Of course, The Shade Room’s comment section exploded with reactions to Claressa’s take on the ‘Liberian Girl’ challenge. Some folks vibed with her energy, while others made it clear they don’t get how anyone could hate when she’s clearly having a time.
Instagram user @niccigilbert wrote, “She looks super cute having fun, traveling the world as a champion against all odds, all the way from Flint, Michigan Go Claressa Go ”
Instagram user @buttababy03 wrote, “Pap watching from upstairs ”
While Instagram user @meekmeek2u_ wrote, “I like her Idk why its so popular to hate this woman. She just having fun damn.”
Then Instagram user @kristen.hurt wrote, “MAAANNNN let that lady live… We let Brittney do it, so why can’t she? ”
Another Instagram user @rose.ichiban wrote, “I actually love Clarissa ”
Instagram user @mrshairtoday wrote, “Let her have fun! ”
Then another Instagram user @mirrajai.fit wrote, “Shes a boxer having fun trying to do a little dance. I think its cute ”
Finally, Instagram user @ssherman31 wrote, “Seems so fun and full of life ”
While plenty of folks praised Claressa for having fun with the TikTok challenge, a few trolls chimed in and she peeped. She clapped back with a video from what looked like a workout, questioning why some people stay so miserable. Still, Claressa didn’t let the comments about her needing to be “more girly” or “loosen up” faze her one bit. She said anyone who laughed did exactly what they were supposed to do, because that’s the whole point of dance videos.“It’s a f*****g TikTok who cares! I don’t get paid to dance. I’m a fighter, I’m a world champion.” She continued to flex, “19-time world champion.”
We already told ya’ll Claressa doesn’t play when it comes to a dance challenge. In fact, she and Papoose’s eldest daughter, Dejanae Mackie, kicked off the ‘Counting Green’ challenge for Pap’s single. The ladies were getting to the money, flexing on ’em, and hitting a mean chicken while they were head while they were at it.
