- After Nicki Minaj dropped a few choice bars against Shannon Sharpe, the Pro Football Hall of Famer apologized to the superstar.
- In her verse on Lil Wayne’s “Banned From NO” remix, Minaj rapped, “Bout to cop you slides, all you do is flip-flop / If I send a pic of Shannon, you ain’t that Sharpe.”
- The diss seems to stem from Sharpe asking “Nicki who?” on X last year when Minaj was asking about being on his podcast.

- Sharpe thought the X user was referring to politician Nikki Haley.
- He explained, “So somebody says Nicki really wants to come on your podcast. I’m like, ‘Nicki who?’”
- Sharpe added, “Nicki, I was not trying to be disrespectful. Of course I know who you are. I would be remiss to say that I thought you knew who I was, or that you knew anything about Club Shay Shay. I’m not that arrogant.”
- He continued, “Nicki, I apologize. I meant no disrespect. You’ll always have an open invitation if you ever want to come sit down and have a conversation. Even if you just want to have a private conversation on the phone or something. It won’t go any further between you and I.”
