In a surprising turn of events, former NFL star Shannon Sharpe found himself embroiled in a heated exchange with comedian Mike Epps over comments made during a comedy show. What started as a joke quickly escalated into a war of words, with both parties refusing to back down.
Sharpe’s Threats and Epps’ Response: A Twitter Showdown
When Epps made a passing remark about Sharpe during one of his comedy sets, he likely didn’t anticipate the fiery backlash that would follow. Sharpe, host of NightCap alongside Chad Ochocinco, wasted no time in calling out Epps for his alleged insinuations. Threatening to expose private messages, Sharpe stood firm in defense of his reputation, asserting, “I won’t let you lie on my name.”
“I’ll put this out there, and I’ll fire this shot over your head mofo,” Sharpe said on NightCap. “Mention my name again and I’ll put out the DM’s. I don’t like doing this but you’re lying.”
“I don’t care about all that other stuff, you can say I’m gay, I don’t care about that cause I don’t chase a lie but I won’t let you lie on my name.”
This led to the two former NFL stars going on a little bit of a tangent but Sharpe went back to addressing Mike Epps again to deliver his threat, reiterating his earlier point.
“Say my name again and I’ll release the DMs.”

Sharpe, alongside former NFL colleague Chad Ochocinco, typically graces screens with insights on the NFL in NightCap. However, this episode took a dramatic turn as Sharpe addressed Epps’ remarks head-on. Seething with anger, Sharpe warned Epps against spreading falsehoods about him, threatening to release private messages if the comedian persisted.
“I’ll put this out there, and I’ll fire this shot over your head mofo,” Sharpe declared on NightCap. “Mention my name again and I’ll put out the DM’s. I don’t like doing this but you’re lying.”
Unfazed by the potential backlash, Sharpe reiterated his commitment to defending his reputation, stating, “I won’t let you lie on my name.”
In a swift response, Epps defended his actions, questioning Sharpe’s reaction and citing instances where others have poked fun at the former NFL star for comedic effect. While acknowledging reaching out to Sharpe for an interview on Club Shay Shay, Epps clarified that his intentions were misconstrued and fueled by Sharpe’s own mention during another interview.
With tensions reaching a boiling point, Epps remained unapologetic, doubling down on his remarks and asserting his right to express humor. “I didn’t say he was gay,” Epps retorted. “I was simply saying that he looked ‘zesty.'”
As the feud escalated, both parties traded barbs and veiled threats, setting the stage for a potential showdown during the upcoming NBA All-Star Weekend in Indiana. With Sharpe set to coach in the celebrity game and Epps hosting an event in his hometown, the stage is set for a clash of titans both on and off the court.
As the NightCap saga unfolds, fans are left eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this riveting drama, unsure of how the battle between Sharpe and Epps will ultimately play out.
