Shannon Sharpe and Megan Thee Stallion are still on good terms despite a controversial interview that went viral a few months ago. Recall that in November 2023, the NFL legend landed in hot water when he sexualized the hip-hop artist on the Nightcap Podcast. While speaking to Chad Ochocinco Johnson, Sharpe fantasized about being intimate with Megan. “I’d have her stretched out like quarter to three. I do it three ways, Ocho: deep, hard, and continuously…I’d have her opening up like saloon doors,” he said. Months after uttering the disturbing sexual comments, Shannon Sharpe has tendered an apology to the rapper.
On Monday, the 29-year-old appeared on the Club Shay Shay podcast, and Sharpe got things off his chest. Before delving into the discussion for the day, he apologized to the star for his sexual remarks. “Before we go any further, I want to apologize to you personally,” he began. The former tight end admitted that he wasn’t sure he would ever have a conversation with Megan. However, he was hoping they would bump into each other. Sharpe revealed his sexual comment was a joke made in jest, adding that it would have still been funny if he left her out of it. “I want to say to you as a man as I sit here before you, that I apologize,” Sharpe said. Meanwhile, Megan responded, “I appreciate that.”
Shannon Sharpe and Megan Thee Stallion later had a toast with a shot of Le Portier cognac. The Shade Room reposted Shannon Sharpe’s apology, and many fans lauded the host for his actions. “The fact that he remembered and apologised is admirable,” one person wrote. Another fan commented, “That was very mature of him. It’s refreshing to see men taking accountability on their actions and wrongdoings. His mother raised him impeccably.” A third fan also shared, “Glad he owned up and apologized.” A fourth person remarked, “he’s so real for apologizing.” Another fan revealed that what they loved about Sharpe’s apology was that he did it publicly. Others asked men watching the clip to learn from the NFL icon and be accountable for their actions.
