NFL legend Shannon Sharpe was moonwalking in his clarification as to why he stated “Nicki who?” throughout his “Nightcap” podcast.
Sharpe, who shares the internet hosting duties with fellow ex-footballer Chad Ochocinco, stated he was embroiled in a caustic political trade with former presidential candidate Nikki Haley.
Shannon Sharpe explains himself
As he defined in the course of the podcast, a fan requested if Sharpe needed to ask Nikki onto his podcast to debate her in particular person. Sharpe claims he wasn’t certain if the fan was referring to the political conservative or the celebrity rapper, prompting him to ask: “Nicki who?”
Nicki Minaj torched Shannon Sharpe over perceived diss
Sharpe’s perceived slight didn’t go over effectively with Minaj, which motivated her to spit venomous bars at Sharpe in her remix tune of Lil Wayne’s “Banned from NO” monitor.
Within the remix, Minaj spat onto wax: “‘Bout to cop you slides/all you do is flip-flop/if I ship a pic of Shannon, you ain’t that Sharpe.”
Shannon Sharpe seeks forgiveness for the misunderstanding
On Wednesday night, the previous Denver Broncos star responded after “Banned From NO” dropped and defined that it was merely a misunderstanding.
“I used to be speaking about Nikki Haley,” Shannon Sharpe remarked to Ochocinco. “Nikki Haley stated one thing… So I’m speaking about Nikki Haley. So any person stated, ‘Nicki actually desires to return in your podcast.’ How am I purported to – I’m speaking about Nikki Haley. I’m like, ‘Nicki who?’ It’d be like, ‘Ocho, aye, Unc learn about them sports activities!’ Folks gon’ say, ‘Unc who?’ It is perhaps Snoop Dogg, it is perhaps me.”
Sharpe continued, saying, “It wasn’t meant as a disrespect. Sure, I do know who you might be. I used to be going forwards and backwards, we’ve been speaking about Nikki Haley. So I’m simply making an attempt to determine. I’m purported to unexpectedly [know that they] meant Nicki Minaj?
Ending the thought, Sharpe requested for forgiveness from the raptress. “Nicki, I apologize. I meant no disrespect. You at all times have an open invitation when you ever need to come sit down and have a dialog. Even when you simply need to have a non-public dialog on the telephone or one thing.”
Followers debate Shannon Sharpe-Nicki Minaj beef
Followers have been break up in regards to the deserves of Minaj’s remix of Lil Wayne’s monitor “Banned in NO,” with some saying that Minaj leveraged the alleged diss by Sharpe for a gratuitous swipe at Sharpe. Others charred Sharpe for supposed dishonesty
“She simply discovered a motive to make use of him for a bar lol,” stated one fan, whereas one other claims, “He knew what he was doing.”
A 3rd fan informed Sharpe: “Don’t backtrack, sir Sharpe,” whereas a fourth understands what Sharpe was saying: “On the time he was going again and ahead with that YT woman (former presidential candidate Nikki Haley) so I can see the confusion.”
Others took the chance to take a swipe at Sharpe, whereas one other noticed the irony of Minaj outshining Lil Wayne on his personal tune.
“Shannon you not sharp b/c you sleeping with thes yt lil ladies 😂,” stated one consumer who was referencing the Sharpe debacle of being sued for $50 million by a 21-year-old who claims he raped and beat her.
“Lil Wayne launched an album but it surely’s Nicki trending 😂😂,” stated a second fan, whereas a 3rd thought that Minaj dropped a bomb bar, saying, “Idc, however she ate that line tho😂😂😂😂.”
