Tesehki Calls Cap On Claressa Shields BET Awards Claims
For context, Claressa Shields posted on X (formerly Twitter) that she never ran into Tesehki at the BET Awards.
“Let’s set the record straight: I never ran into Tesehki at the BET Awards. I’m focused on real fights with real athletes—world champions, not randoms looking for clout. When you’ve got back-to-back Olympic gold medals and multiple world titles in five weight classes, maybe then you’ll be on my radar. Until then, stay in your lane, #Facts NEXT FIGHT JULY 26th,” Shields wrote.

However, Tesehki exclusively chopped it with The Shade Room, saying she did see Claressa at the event and even spoke briefly with Papoose while she was there.
“She saw me doing my interview. Clear as day, and I even spoke to Papoose at the concession line, my bestie Kway was right there to confirm. I’m over this crazy a** lady and LIAR. Then I’m also the bad guy when I respond,” Tesehki explained.
Tesehki also told TSR that Claressa has allegedly been sliding into her family’s DMs and harassing them.
“I also have multiple family members she personally writes from her page (dm) harassing. She’s a lunatic wanting to fight a baddie that gets paid WELLL OVER $100K to fight less than 10 secs. Paleaseeee,” Sehki added.

Here’s What Claressa Previously Said About Tesehki
In a throwback clip TSR posted, Claressa said folks have been asking if she thinks she could take on Tesehki in a fight. She clapped back, saying, “Do I think or do I know?” Then she added that Sehki should be checking on her fans, not her, and questioned how Sehki ever claimed to like her when she never pulled up to a fight or showed her any love. Swipe below to see the footage.
“You never mentioned me in a good light, so no, you did not ever like me, and that doesn’t matter to me. So to sit here and say you can whoop some a**, you need to go to rehab. You need help, your friends need to help you,” Claressa says in the clip.
