Shannon Sharpe dissed Megan Thee Stallion yesterday, but now the sports star is claiming that it was a mistake, Media Take Out has confirmed.
Yesterday the former NFL star and current ESPN personality went on a viral rant on X (Twitter), defending his remarks about WNBA star Caitlyn Clark’s rookie season.
But Neg couldn’t help himself. The podcaster, known for being messy on his Ckub Shay Shay Youtube show threw shade at Megan Thee Stallion – which immediately sparked backlash and accusations of anti-Blackness from Meg’s fans.
“Why are you one my page?” he replied to a critic. “Don’t you have another horse 2 rob of his hair? Stop trying 2 kill my vibe.”
The woman had a photo of Meg Thee Stallion as her profile pic – so Shannon’s diss was not towards the woman – but to Meg.
Twitter users were quick to point out his mistake and call him anti-Black. Ezoic
“Shut up, you’re an anti black c00* who just revealed it bc you replied to someone with an avi of MEGAN THEE STALLION talking about horse hair. Shut up mush mouth!!!” one user replied.
“This is such an anti black thing to say,” added another. “Lmaoo omg this n#### really cooned out now son.”
Shannon Sharpe repeatedly denied dissing Megan Thee Stallion but continued firing back at his critics.
“What’s even more anti black is the ish y’all say 2 black ppl you don’t even know,” he wrote. “I don’t go on ppl tl and talk reckless but some of y’all do and when the response isn’t what you hoped 4. You’re anti black, buck dancing. Get what you give.”
After several further exchanges, Sharpe had a change of heart and issued a PSA.
“Sept 25 2024 at 6:06 pm. I will no longer respond 2 any negativity,” he declared. “It’s not the serious 4 me. I’ve got kids and I would upset with them IF* they responded in this manner. This is beneath me. Y’all pray 4 me tho.”
