Whew, chileeee! Roommates, Tesehki and Claressa Shields haven’t squared up in the ring, but they definitely threw some jabs at each other online recently. The ‘Baddies’ star and the champion boxer have been going back and forth after Claressa said she wasn’t ducking any smoke with Tesehki at the 2025 BET Awards. But now, Tesehki’s calling all that cap, saying Claressa definitely saw her at the show. She believes the boxer is obsessed with her and has even gone as far as allegedly harassing her family members via DM’s on social media. Let’s get into it, y’all!
For context, Claressa Shields posted on X (formerly Twitter) that she never ran into Tesehki at the BET Awards.
“Lets set the record straight: I never ran into Tesehki at the BET Awards. Im focused on real fights with real athletesworld champions, not randoms looking for clout. When youve got back-to-back Olympic gold medals and multiple world titles in five weight classes, maybe then youll 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.
The Zeus Network star also dropped a lil’ tea about her run-in with Papoose at the BET Awards. She said she caught Pap staring, so she went ahead and said what’s up.
“He was staring like he saw a ghost. So that’s what made me say hello. He swallowed and spoke back,” she continued.
Folks had a lot to say about Claressa and Tesehki’s online exchange in the comment section of the TSR’s post. Peep some of their reactions below.

Then Instagram user @cxristo wrote, “Being on a tv show really got folks thinking they can fight a world champion if you dont want ur head on your shoulders anymore just say that ”
Another Instagram user @leonaniomi wrote, “I believe sekhi, I aint even know Clarissa before her”
Instagram user @thecoreyshow wrote, “Its the same 2 or 3 people every day. What Sanaa Lathan up to.”
While another Instagram user @monnie_boo90 wrote, “So yall mad at Clarissa cause she didnt notice Tesehki at the Bet awards and fight her ?! It was a lot of ppl and a lot going on out there. Maybe she really didnt see Tesehki. I dont see her being scared of Tesehki”
Lastly, Instagram user @model_petite wrote, “Chile please, Claressa would beat the brake shoes off of that chick. Next.”
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.
