Shannon Sharpe Clears The Air After Nicki Minaj’s Diss
And legendary football player turned TV personality Shannon Sharpe just got caught up in the mix of some viral controversy about none other than rap queen Nicki Minaj. The NFL Hall of Famer already has some serious drama in his personal life, but a different kind of beef jump-started online recently, and it’s certainly unrelated to those issues. In the world of celeb beef, shit can go 0 to 100 real quick when something is misconstrued. It could even end up going viral on social media.
It all began with Nicki Minaj taking a swipe at Sharpe on the just-released “Banned From NO” remix, which also features her onetime mentor Lil Wayne. The diss had a lot of people scratching their heads, but to Sharpe, the cause of friction was a simple matter of crossed wires. Since then, the two have been in a feud for reasons that seem to stem from an old tweet. In it, a fan wrote that Nicki wanted to be heard on Sharpe’s podcast. His response? “Nicki who?” a response that quickly set off Nicki minaj’s army of devoted fans, the barbz, as they read his words as shade thrown Trinidad born superstar.
But Sharpe took to his Nightcap podcast to provide some helpful context on the matter. Sharpe explains that the post was not a diss in a rare candid response captured by The Shade Room. He was very much into the social media sparring over politician Nikki Haley at the time. So, when the tweet appeared, his reply was a legitimate query for a definition, not some snide jab at Minaj. “I wasn’t joking… or being disrespectful,” he allegedly responded, adding that he didn’t know which “Nicki” the fan was referring to amid the political chatter that allowed him to return to Twitter awareness with a vengeance.
Like so many viral spats in the digital age, this one illustrates how much intentions can get slipped and scrambled in the churn of online communication. Nicki’s lyric might have been about what looked like a snub over the track, though Sharpe’s affable response indicates no real beef on his side. Only time will tell if Nicki Minaj will also respond to Sharpe’s clarification, yet, for the time being, the ex-NFL player wants this small confusion to be a thing of the past. In the meantime, fans on both sides are to be left with yet more evidence that in the internet age, comments can run away with a life of their own.
