BET Awards Claressa Shields Papoose Remy Ma viral video red carpet internet reactions
He looks mad for no reason.
I mean the clip is like 3 seconds, everyone acting like they know what he thinking lol. But yeah his face was giving mean mug.
Claaressa smiling while he out here scanning the crowd… makes me think he was looking for Remy Ma like the comments said. Also why would she even let him bring that vibe around if he was mad at somebody? Seems messy, but whatever.
Protect your woman at all times? Flat out?! Like are we talking about this like it’s a real threat 😭. To me he just looks like when your food order takes too long and you’re trying not to be rude. But the camera showing his face the whole time was wild, I can’t lie.
