Shannon Sharpe Apologizes To Megan Thee Stallion For Sexual Joke
Megan Thee Stallion joined Shannon Sharpe for his Club Shay Shay podcast on Monday (July 1). The “BOA” rapper, 29, has been having an incredible year, and the host gave her the respect she deserves.
Sharpe Apologizes to Megan
On the Monday episode, Meg sat down with the former NFL star to chat about topics like her new album MEGAN, paying for features, and wanting to collaborate with Billie Eilish. Before the two got into all of that, Sharpe addressed a joke he made back in November about the Hot Girl that was extremely sexual in nature.
Sharpe, 56, told the Grammy winner, “Meg, before we go any further, I want to apologize to you personally. I always wanted to sit down and have a conversation with you — I didn’t know if that was going to be possible.”
Quarter To Three
He previously said on the Nightcap podcast that he would have the Houston native “stretched out like quarter to three.” Going even further with the bit, Sharpe told the co-host Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, “I do it three ways, Ocho: deep, hard and continuously. That’s all I got, Ocho. You better stop playing. I’d have her opening up like saloon doors… You know my walk [is] a little off right now, but I still do something a little here and there.”
While Megan was listening to his apology and retained a cool demeanor, Sharpe continued, “I said it in jest, but I believe the joke would’ve been just as funny had I left you out of it. So, for any unwanted attention, harm, shame, [or] embarrassment that I caused you or your family, I want to say, as a man, as I sit here before you, I apologize.”
The rapper smiled and crossed her hands over her heart and responded, “I appreciate that, thank you.” The pair later toasted with Sharpe’s cognac, to which the “Cognac Queen” warned him that she’s got high standards. After nosing it and taking a sip, Megan gave Sharpe a good review after being a little weary of it.

As we reported, she announced the new album was on the way earlier this month while performing in Atlanta, Georgia. After the show, she confirmed the surprise news on her social media pages with an artistic photo of the artist coming out of a cocoon and morphing into a butterfly.
Of her new album, the 29-year-old artist said, “This is music I would like if I wasn’t Megan Thee Stallion,” adding that she’s tapping into “other sounds.” She assured her Hotties that the new album is still “very much Megan Thee Stallion. It won’t feel like I went so left. It’ll feel true to me.”
Meg seems to have kept her promise, as MEGAN shows off her evolving and getting better as a rapper, all while having fun in tracks like “BOA,” “Otaku Hot Girl,” and “Mumushi.” Meanwhile, the H-Town hottie calls out every one of her haters in track after track because she is so confident that she is “that bitch” and will prove it time and time again. Fans praised her on social media, and we couldn’t find one bad track on the album. As a long-time fan of Meg 2018’s Tina Snow, there have always been a few songs we loved from her previous albums, this is the first where we didn’t have any songs to delete from our music library.
The Grammy winner debuts the rawest songs we’ve ever heard from her, with songs showing her true feelings about finding her self-worth, stating how she loves men and women, struggling with loneliness, and sharing her love for Japanese culture. We are in full agreement with fans in how authentic and raw Megan’s album conveyed the artist’s evolution. There is a song to fit every mood, with no shortage of fun songs for the Summer.
