Claressa Shields Reacts To Tesehki Claiming They ‘Ran Into Each Other’ At BET Awards And Ducked Smoked: ‘I Never Ran Into Her, She’s A Random Looking For Clout’

Well, honey, gather round because the sugar’s about to be served piping hot! Your homegirl is back to sift through the rubble of the ish storm stirred between our favourite badass pugilist, Claressa Shields and our homegrown ‘can’t-be-tamed’ rapper slash singer with an attitude, the sensational Tesehki, thanks to the 2025 BET Awards.

So let’s do a little rewind first. Claressa Shields, our powerhouse boxer who’s always pushing the boundaries, recently got mired in a sticky situation. If you’re not living under a rock, you know our girl got hit with a typhoon of controversy having been caught with a lil’ bit of Mary Jane in her system and being promptly rap slapped with a suspension. Exhibit A why you never put Baby in a corner, she came out swinging not only in the ring, but publicly too. She dropped a clapback that pretty much slammed her haters to the ground. A queen never backs down, darling.

Now fast forward to the drama doused 2025 BET Awards. The gossip grapevine was buzzing with a barrage of spats and feuds, and right in the thick of it we find the outspoken Tesehki, the vibrant star of the racy hit show, ‘Baddies’, laying down a claim faster than she spits bars. Word has it, Tesehki ran into Claressa at the awards resembling two cosmic entities on a collision course. But according to her, our powerhouse pugilist backed down from a skirmish. Apparently, she refused to puff, puff, pass with Tesehki thereby dodging the proverbial smoke.

But, not so fast there, glitter-gang. Before we take Tesehki’s word as gospel, we got a shade of a different color from broke-no-back Claressa. According to our knockout queen, not only did she not duck any smoke, she flat out called the alleged encounter a work of fiction, a smoke screen, if you will, conjured up by Tesehki. Not one to pull punches, Claressa came with a one-two jab, dubbing Tesehki a ‘random looking for clout’. Yikes! If that ain’t a diss, I don’t know what is.

This altercation brings into focus a sophisticated interplay of sports, pop culture, and the ruthless politics of fame. It lays bare the cutthroat nature of the game and how stars resort to different ways of maintaining relevance. Oh, mama, what a time to be alive in the kingdom of pop culture, right?

So there you have it, kitties, our daily dose of delicious drama delivered with a side of snark and sass. Tesehki and Claressa’s ‘War of the Words’ is just heating up, and you can trust your favourite pop culture sista to keep you updated on this brewing brouhaha. Until the next sip of tea, keep it sassy, keep it spicy, and above all, keep it 100!
