The two, who were considered the “epitome” of black love have left fans shocked by their individual revelation. The two accused each other of cheating throughout their whole relationship and Remy Ma went on to expose Claressa Shields as Papoose’s new girlfriend.

“This lady, Claressa Shields and that sorry ass publicity team been putting out fake stories on me EVERYDAY to make me look bad and him look like gods gift for too long,” Remy wrote. “I begged Papoose to put out something to stop the narrative and he kept telling me just stay quiet that that’s the best thing to do… welp I’m tired oh and he saidhe would never fuck you coz you ugly. Don’t worry, I saw everything and the world gonna see it since you so tough boo.”

The “all the way up” rapper shared a screenshot of alleged texts between Papoose and Claressa and captioned it, “dum ass fell asleep on the phone with Claressa Shields. Laying in my house he refuses to leave. This bitch supposed to be a world champion boxer and her scary ass hung up soon as she heard my voice. Now I’m telling everything oooohhh and babygirl you not the only one.” I’m the screenshot Remy shared, Claressa asks Papoose for accountability since he is the one who is married. She requests him to either fall asleep on the phone with her or be with her in person.

Papoose responded to Remy by calling her a narcissist who chose to cheat repeatedly. “Sad to say that Remy Ma is a narcissist. She chose to cheat repeatedly. Now that I finally moved on, she’s playing the victim. I have requested a divorce numerous times. She rather clout chase on social media than handle this like civilized adults. I did not wanna do the social media foolishness for the sake of my 6 year old baby. She has to go to school, as you can see I remained quiet through this all.”

Lizzo was previously sued by former wardrobe assistant, Asha Daniels, however, the case has now been dropped. The stylist claims she was subjected to racial and sexual harassment and a hostile work environment by members of the singer’s management team while on tour in 2023, as well as unpaid over time. Daniels also accused the dancer of being fatphobic towards her. Lizzo, known for tracks like Truth Hurts and Juice, built her reputation on body positivity, but last year found herself the subject of several similar accusations.

In a statement, Lizzo denied the rumors, calling them “absurd publicity stunt.” “These sensationalised stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behaviour on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.” Daniels’ claims came after a lawsuit by Lizzo’s three former employees, alleging that they were subjected to an unsafe working environment, fat shamed and sexual misconduct. Her lawyers, however, remained firm and described Daniels as a “disgruntled” former employee with “meritless and salacious” claims.

A Los Angeles federal judge ruled on Monday that wardrobe assistant Asha Daniels could not sue the Grammy winner as an individual, after identifying the singer’s touring and payroll companies as her employers, however, Big Grrrl Big Touring Inc remains a defendant in the ongoing case. US district judge Fernando L Aenlle-Rocha dismissed all seven causes of action against Lizzo, and those regarding her tour manager Carlina Gugliotta.

The judge also granted a partial motion to dismiss several of the claims due to the fact that Daniels worked for the company while on tour in Europe, where American employment laws do not apply.

Ron Zambrano, of the West Coast employment lawyers – Daniels’s attorney released a statement regarding the judge’s ruling. “The lawsuit is still very active and has not been dismissed. The ruling was not for lack of evidence, but rather on procedural jurisdictional grounds,” he said. “It by no means absolves Lizzo of the egregious claims that occurred on her watch. All individually named defendants were dismissed because of the jurisdictional limits of Title VII and FLSA claims that no individual can be liable for those claims.

The ruling does not reflect ”the merits of the claims,” Zambrano said, adding, “The lawsuit still moves forward against Lizzo’s company, Big Grrl Touring, as to all claims except for the overtime allegation.” This claim “was also dismissed for jurisdictional, not evidentiary reasons, given claims for unpaid overtime only apply for work done within the United States.”
