Shannon Sharpe took to Instagram on Thursday (February 14) to share photos of him linking up with Mike Epps after their public back-and-forth. Shannon and Mike were all smiles in the photos, which Sharpe captioned, “As promised. No video required. No audio required. Just a picture for proof. We are good 💪🏾.”
This comes after Mike Epps insinuated that Shannon is gay during his stand-up set, and he also claimed that Shannon reached out to him for an interview. Shannon would latter rebuff Mike’s claims, and he threatened to leak DMs from Mike, allegedly asking to be on “Club Shay Shay.”
After Mike responded to Shannon, the former NFL star apologized to his fans and revealed that he reached out to Mike to hash out their differences in person. In less than a week, the two men seem to have worked things out, which you can view in full above.

The back-and-forth between Mike Epps and Shannon Sharpe continues, as Mike has responded to Shannon telling him that he will handle their issues on sight.
This comes after Mike initially got Shannon’s attention after implying that the former NFL star is gay. Shannon replied to Mike on “Nightcap,” as he stated, “Mention my name again, and I’m gonna put the DM … and I don’t like doing this. But you’re lying.”
In his response, Mike admitted that he DM’d Shannon, and he explained that he did so after Shannon brought his name up during Katt Williams’ viral “Club Shay Shay” interview. Mike stated that he felt like Shannon was trying to bait Katt into speaking badly about him. You can hear more above.
Sharpe didn’t waste any time getting at Epps, saying: “Mention my name again, and I’m gonna put the DM … and I don’t like doing this. But you’re lying.”
The ‘Club Shay Shay’ host then said, “I don’t care about all that other stuff. You can say I’m gay … I don’t care about that because I won’t chase a lie. But I won’t let you lie on my name.”
Sharpe then threatened to release DMs Epps sent him, saying, “You said I reached out to you to come on Club Shay Shay, and you’re a mofo lie. Now when I see you, I’m gon’ see if you’re about that. I’m gon’ see if you want to say what you been saying, trying to get some jokes because you got mad because Katt Williams did what he did.” Watch above.

Comedian Mike Epps claimed that former NFL player and sports commentator Shannon Sharpe contacted him for an interview, but Epps declined, stating he didn’t want Sharpe “looking across at my balls.” Epps suggested that Sharpe’s podcast, “Club Shay Shay,” might be an attempt to subtly convey his alleged secret homosexuality. Rumors about Sharpe’s sexuality have circulated for about a year, sparked by his association with his stylist, an openly gay man known as “Hollywood.” Sharpe has not publicly addressed these speculations.
