Eazy The Block Captain Just Escalated His War With Papoose. This Time He Went After Claressa Shields Too.
The Papoose and Remy Ma divorce saga just picked up a new front, and this one’s uglier than the last.
Eazy The Block Captain, the Philadelphia battle rapper who’s been romantically linked to Remy Ma since her split from Papoose, dropped a new diss track called “Lothario” on October 10th, and this time he didn’t just go after Papoose directly, he pulled Claressa Shields, Papoose’s current girlfriend and a two-time Olympic gold medal boxer, straight into it. The track mocks the age gap between Papoose and Shields, framing their relationship as closer to a father figure than a romantic partner, and goes after Shields personally on top of that. Eazy also claims credit for helping Remy Ma move on from her marriage, and makes allegations that Papoose recorded private conversations and used surveillance inside a home and a vehicle. I want to be direct about that last part specifically, those are unsubstantiated claims made in a diss track, not established facts, and they should be treated as exactly that until something beyond the song itself backs them up.
This didn’t come out of nowhere. Papoose dropped his own track, “Jezebel,” back in September, aimed squarely at Remy Ma amid their divorce, accusing her of infidelity and referencing her relationship with Eazy directly. The two men have also reportedly had an actual physical confrontation at some point in this, though their accounts of what happened differ, and Eazy specifically disputes any version of events claiming Papoose knocked him unconscious. So “Lothario” isn’t really a new beef starting, it’s a direct response in an existing one, just with the target expanded to include Shields this time.
What makes this particular chapter land differently is the backstory everyone involved is working against. Papoose and Remy Ma spent years being held up as one of hip-hop’s more unusual, genuinely inspiring love stories, from marrying over the phone while she was incarcerated back in 2008 to a full televised wedding in 2016. Papoose publicly stood by her through her prison sentence, and for a long stretch, the two of them were treated as a rare example of real loyalty in an industry that doesn’t always reward it. Watching that same relationship’s ending get fought out through dueling diss tracks, with each new partner getting pulled into the lyrics, is a genuinely different tone than the story either of them used to represent.
Reaction to the song itself has been split. Some fans are backing Eazy for confronting Papoose directly rather than staying quiet. Others are critical of the song’s delivery and production, and skeptical about the timing, questioning whether this matches the level Papoose has actually been operating at with his own recent material. That split matters a little, because it suggests this isn’t just a clean “fans pick a side” situation, people are evaluating the craft here with real scrutiny, not just reacting to the beef itself.
I don’t think there’s a clean resolution coming anytime soon. Papoose hasn’t responded yet, but given his pattern through this entire saga, a response feels likely rather than optional. The real question underneath all of it is what’s actually driving Eazy at this point, whether this is him defending Remy Ma’s name, settling his own score from whatever happened between him and Papoose personally, or simply making sure he doesn’t let Papoose have the last word after “Jezebel.” Probably it’s some combination of all three. What’s clear is that this divorce has stopped being a two-person story a while ago. At this point it’s got four adults, two new relationships, and now a direct attack on someone who wasn’t even part of the original marriage, all getting pulled into songs instead of staying anywhere close to private.
