Shannon Sharpe and Mike Epps have squashed their beef. In a new photo shared to Sharpe’s social media account, he posted a few images of him and the comedian linking up and shared a caption letting everyone know they’re all good now!
“As promised. No video required. No audio required. Just a picture for proof. We are good 💪🏾” As we previously reported, over the weekend footage of Mike Epps performing at his comedy show began to surface. In the viral footage Mike Epps can be heard making statements attempting to insinuate that Shannon Sharpe is gay and he declined an opportunity to be on his hit show, Club Shay Shay. “That ni**a Shannon Sharpe called me trying to do an interview,” the 53-year-old said to the crowd. “I said ‘no Madea, I ain’t doing no interview with you’ – so you can sit across from me and look at my balls.”
It didn’t take long for Shannon Sharpe to hear his comments and while speaking with his co-host Chad Ochocino Johnson on their podcast, Night Cap, Sharpe had some strong words for the comedian after mentioning his name. “Mention my name again, and I’m gonna put the DMs [out],” Sharpe said during the broadcast. “And I don’t like doing this. But you’re lying.”
The 55-year-old chose not to acknowledge or respond to Epps’ insinuations that he is homosexual, but again warned that he would expose the content of their communication if Epps further disparaged his name. “I don’t care about all that other stuff. You can say I’m gay … I don’t care about that,” Sharpe said.

“‘Cause I won’t chase a lie. But I won’t let you lie on my name.” He continued, adding “Say my name again, and I’m gonna release the DM. Because you’re lying.” Accusing Epps of lying about being asked to appear on Club Shay Shay, Sharpe ended his tirade with what could be taken as a veiled threat against the Indiana native if the two were to cross paths in the future.
After all of the madness on the internet, Shannon Sharpe shared a message to his X account and issued an apology.
