Diamond Stone informs Claressa Shields that She was mistaken in believing Angie Stone is Jill Scott

Diamond Stone Clears the Air: “Don’t Ever Call Her Jill Scott Again”

People don’t like Claressa Shields after a video showed her mixing up two R&B stars.

During a livestream on social media, the boxing champion sang along to a soulful standard and said it was by Jill Scott, but it was actually the late Angie Stone.

Shields was feeling good while listening to the 1999 hit “No More Rain (In This Cloud).” In the video, she said that the song was by Jill Scott. Both women are famous from the Neo-Soul era, but Diamond Stone, Angie Stone’s daughter, did not like the mix-up. Diamond quickly went on Instagram to correct the athlete and protect the artistic legacy of her mother.

“I wasn’t going to say anything, but Claressa, don’t ever call my mom Jill Scott again if you like her music,” Diamond said in a video. The family is still grieving over the death of Angie Stone, so her answer has a lot of emotional weight.

The singer sadly died in a car accident in March of this year while driving through Georgia after a show. Diamond believes that ensuring her mother’s proper honor is a way to pay tribute to her memory.

Most of the fans think it was just a mistake on the fighter’s part. They probably got the “Rain” themes from Stone’s song and Jill Scott’s “Love Rain” mixed up. No matter what the goal was, the incident has led to a larger discussion about how important it is to know the artists behind the hits.
