Claressa Shields joins Loon on It’s Up There for an in-depth conversation that goes far beyond boxing.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist and multi-division undisputed champion opens up about the criticism she receives over her appearance, why she believes successful women are judged differently, and what it feels like to constantly have her confidence challenged publicly.

Claressa also speaks about her relationship with Papoose, the business surrounding her career, money in women’s boxing and the reported $8 million deal attached to the next stage of her journey.

She breaks down her side of the infamous viral sparring knockdown, including what she says happened with sparring partner Arturs Ahmetovs and why she believes there was more to the footage than viewers initially understood.

The conversation also touches on Angel Reese, Serena Williams, Franchon Crews-Dezurn, Jake Paul and MVP, The Fire Inside, Flint, retirement, legacy, and what Claressa believes she still has left to accomplish after already becoming one of the most decorated fighters of her generation.

Claressa Shields on Papoose, the Viral Knockdown, $8M Deal & Being Called “Ugly"

Wack 100 returns to It’s Up There as the Big U federal case and alleged Future LAX story put his name back in hip-hop headlines. Loon presses Wack on Young Thug, No Jumper, Boosie and VladTV. This episode arrives as new federal charges against Big U revive online debate around Wack 100’s old account involving Future and LAX. Wack has since rejected the most sensational version of the story, saying there was a conversation but no airport assault, while Future’s camp has continued to deny the allegations. Wack is not charged in the Big U case. That developing story is current context—not a segment falsely added to this interview—but it places Wack’s larger warnings about street politics, public claims, recorded conversations and federal investigations under a completely new spotlight. Wack and Loon begin by breaking down why the old street playbook has become obsolete. Wack discusses whether No Jumper and other street-focused media platforms can attract law-enforcement scrutiny, why statements made during interviews may later appear in criminal cases. The conversation moves through the MacArthur Park federal drug operation. The temperature changes when Wack and Loon reach 6ix9ine, Big Bank and Young Thug. Wack argues that Young Thug said too much during the interrogation connected to the 2015 shooting of Lil Wayne’s tour bus. Loon agrees Thug should have said less but refuses to call it snitching without proof that he incriminated someone, helped build a case or provided information that harmed another person. Loon challenges the way hip-hop media reacted when the footage first circulated compared with the campaign that developed after it resurfaced. The debate becomes personal as Loon explains why he previously stopped Charleston White from using his platform to attack Young Thug and why his relationship with Thug will not allow him to entertain a dishonest narrative for clicks. Wack and Loon debate the difference between talking too much, trying to finesse detectives, showing a willingness to cooperate and actually cooperating. The episode then turns to the Boosie Badazz and DJ Vlad fallout. Was Boosie justified in demanding more after years of high-performing VladTV interviews? Wack and Loon examine the reported interview-fee dispute, 6ix9ine’s role in the argument, Vlad’s “franchise player” response and the deal Boosie could have negotiated. This is more than another Wack 100 interview. Wack and Loon confront questions involving Young Thug, federal investigations, media manipulation, loyalty, street codes, business ownership and what happens when private conversations become public content. The arguments inside this interview now land while Wack’s name is once again connected to a much larger online conversation involving Big U, Future, federal court filings and the relationship between street culture and hip-hop media.

Loon finally explains why NBA YoungBoy suddenly went at Future and breaks down what he believes is missing from Future’s new album, The Real Me. NBA YoungBoy’s problem with Future appeared publicly during The Real Me rollout—but the posts, apology, diss record and responses still left one major question unanswered: what actually caused YoungBoy to turn on Future? Loon walks through the complete timeline before sharing the behind-the-scenes context he has been hearing around the industry. He separates what has been publicly established from his own interpretation and explains why this situation may involve more than the messages and diss records people saw online. Loon also gives his honest assessment of Future’s The Real Me. Future presented the project without billed guest features, but Loon believes the conversation should go deeper than whether Future can carry an album alone. He examines what feels different about the music, what may be missing from Future’s established formula and why the people traditionally surrounding an artist can affect far more than the final tracklist. This conversation includes: • Why NBA YoungBoy suddenly went at Future • YoungBoy attacking Future during The Real Me rollout • YoungBoy’s conversation and apology with Offset • Why YoungBoy returned to the situation afterward • The “What Da What” diss record • Doe Boy and Future’s people entering the conversation • What Loon says he has been hearing behind the scenes • The difference between confirmed information and industry speculation • Loon’s full assessment of Future’s The Real Me • What Loon believes is missing from the new album • Why Young Scooter’s absence matters to Future’s musical environment • Casino’s role and Future’s connection to the streets • Future releasing a project without billed guest features • The artists and relationships listeners expected to hear • Whether Future has become too isolated • Why Atlanta’s greatest musical strength has always been collaboration • The larger business problem facing Southern hip-hop • Why Future refusing to publicly respond may protect him • Whether YoungBoy’s actions helped or damaged Future’s rollout Loon is not presenting private allegations as confirmed facts. He is explaining what he has heard, what he observed publicly and how he personally interprets the situation. After watching the full breakdown, answer both questions: Why do you believe NBA YoungBoy went at Future? What do you believe The Real Me was missing?

Loon FINALLY EXPOSES the REAL REASON NBA YoungBoy DISSED Future! & What Shocked Fans - Full Episode

Dr. Umar Johnson returns For part 3 of his Legendary conversation on Its Up There with Loon and goes off on Jay-Z’s latest moves, Shannon Sharpe rumors, Kai Cenat’s Streamer University, Cheyenne Bryant’s doctor-title controversy, Caleb Williams’ Madden cover, Kevin Hart’s roast backlash and the larger responsibility that comes with Black celebrity power. This episode is not another Kevin Hart roast conversation. The new front door is Jay-Z, Shannon Sharpe and the question that keeps coming back throughout the episode: What do powerful Black people owe the culture once their platform becomes bigger than their feelings? Loon challenges Jay-Z’s recent public moves and argues that when someone with Jay-Z’s cultural power steps outside, the people expect more than emotion. Loon says Jay-Z’s voice is too rare and too powerful for him to speak without giving the culture game, direction or marching orders. Dr. Umar pushes back. Umar defends Jay-Z’s right to be human and says powerful Black people should not be denied the right to speak from their pain, their personal moment or their own perspective. The debate becomes bigger than Jay-Z. It becomes a question of whether Black leaders, billionaires and celebrities still get to have feelings once the culture expects them to represent something larger. From there, Dr. Umar responds to the Shannon Sharpe rumors and allegations being discussed online. Umar does not treat rumors as established fact. Instead, he focuses on privacy, betrayal and whether people should weaponize someone’s personal life when relationships, friendships or business fall apart. The episode also covers Kai Cenat’s Streamer University and the chaos surrounding it. Loon asks why Black youth run toward streaming, influencer culture and social media fame with more excitement than real school, Black history and academic excellence. Umar says the Black community has made attention, luxury and fame more attractive than education—and offers to teach Black history or Black consciousness if Kai Cenat’s platform is serious about reaching young people. The conversation then turns to Cheyenne Bryant’s doctor-title controversy. Dr. Umar explains how hard he worked to earn his doctorate, why credentials matter when someone is serving clients, and why he refuses to join selective outrage against one person while ignoring others who use titles loosely. Loon and Dr. Umar also discuss Caleb Williams’ Madden cover, public image, athlete responsibility and what famous Black men should consider when young boys are watching them. Kevin Hart’s Netflix roast and Sheryl Underwood are still discussed, but this episode is not led by that conversation. This is a full cultural audit of Jay-Z, Shannon Sharpe, Kai Cenat, Cheyenne Bryant, Caleb Williams, Kevin Hart and the pressure that comes with public Black influence. The bigger question is simple: What do powerful Black people owe the culture once their platform becomes bigger than their feelings? Watch the full episode now on It’s Up There.
