Shannon Sharpe Apologizes To Nicki Minaj After Lil Wayne Remix Diss

Shannon Sharpe is now eating his social media words. He has apologized to Nicki Minaj after she cleared him on a new Lil Wayne remix.

As per Complex, the media personality was put on blast by the self-proclaimed Queen of Rap. This week, Lil Wayne dropped the remix to “Banned From NO.” On the track, she took some indirect shots at your favorite sports Unc. “Bout to cop you slides, all you do is flip-flop / If I send a pic of Shannon, you ain’t that Sharpe,” she said. The bars seemed to be a direct response to the social media post the ESPN analyst made back in February 2024 when an X user asked him if he would have Nicki on as a guest to which he responded Nicki who?

As expected the song quickly landed on Shannon Sharpe’s radar. During a recent episode of Nightcap, he clarified the X post and issued an apology to Nicki. “I used to go back and forth with people. I was talking about Nikki Haley,” he explained. “Nikki Haley said it’s really great for everybody of Black America, and I was like… ‘When has it ever been great?’” He went on to add, “So somebody says Nicki really wants to come on your podcast. I’m like, ‘Nicki who?’”

Shannon Sharpe then said sorry for causing any confusion between the two. “Nicki, I apologize. I meant no disrespect. You’ll always have an open invitation if you ever want to come sit down and have a conversation. Even if you just want to have a private conversation on the phone or something. It won’t go any further between you and I.”
