Clareesa Shields continues to be head over heels for her boyfriend, Papoose.

On the Brooklyn rapper's 47th birthday on Wednesday (March 5), the professional women's boxer and MMA fighter, 29, posted a sentimental dedication on Instagram. While Shields and Papoose went public with their relationship late last year, the latter has been married to Remy Ma since 2008. The estranged couple share a six-year-old daughter, Reminisce Mackenzie.

In the Instagram carousel, Shields shared two pictures of herself and Papoose, along with a video of them sharing an embrace in a locker room.

"Aww man 😅 Happy bday King @papoose 👑 So grateful for your life ✨," the boxing world champion wrote in the caption. "your laugh 😂 , your music 🎶 , your guidance 👩🏾‍❤️‍👨🏾, your love ❤️! You are truly 1 of 1! I pray God bless you with many more years & even quicker hands cause today you getting all your bday punches 🥊 😂😂😂 I love you 🫂 Happy Birthday Papi 😊🥹❤️ !"

Shields, who turns 30 on March 17, frequently gushes about her relationship with Papoose on social media, and last month, the rapper escorted Shields ahead of her fight with Danielle Perkins.

Remy Ma attacked Shields on social media for dating her husband last December, and days later, the boxer joked on podcast Spolitics that she'd fight Remy for $1 after leaking her phone number. Before Shields and Papoose went public with their relationship, Remy was alleged to have cheated, and has since begun dating battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain.
