Shannon Sharpe has responded to Nicki Minaj after the rapper used her feature on Lil Wayne’s new Carter VI album to throw a jab at him.
“‘Bout to cop you slides, all you do is flip-flop / If I send a pic of Shannon, you ain’t that Sharpe,” Nicki rapped on Weezy’s “Banned From NO” Remix.
The lyrics appear to be a reference to Sharpe’s seemingly shady tweet from last February.
On a recent episode of Nightcap, Sharpe explained his comments and even apologized to Nicki.
“I used to go back and forth with people. I was talking about Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley said it’s really great for everybody of Black America, and I was like, ‘When has it ever been great?’” he shared.
“So somebody says Nicki really wants to come on your podcast. I’m like, ‘Nicki who?””
“Nicki, I was not trying to be disrespectful. Of course, I know who you are,” he said. “I would be remiss to say that I thought you knew who I was, or that you knew anything about Club Shay Shay. I’m not that arrogant. 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.”
Nicki is yet to respond to Sharpe’s public apology.
