Shields plans to play this song as she walks into the ring for a potential fight with Baumgardner, making a bold statement both in and out of the ring.
“Had to get some heat off my chest for these haters and non-believers ! Since baumgardner love my music so much. I dissed the hater! And I’ll literally walk out to this song in a fight against her & then beat her in the fight!!! No cap,” she wrote.

This was Baumgardner’s reaction
Baumgardner, the WBC and IBO female super featherweight champion, was quick to respond to Shields’ lyrical jabs.
On X (formerly Twitter), Baumgardner accused Shields of obsession and mocked the irony of using a style associated with GloRilla, whom Shields had recently met.
Baumgardner’s tweets suggest she is unimpressed and dismissive of Shields’ attempt to intimidate through music.
