Mike Epps is not backing down from Shannon Sharpe‘s obvious menace that the streets aren’t secure for him … this, after the comedian lately took some massive photographs on the HOF’er.

In response to SS’s latest tirade towards him on his podcast with Chad OchoCino — during which Shannon claimed Mike had lied on his identify (extra on this later) — ME himself hopped on-line to handle it Monday … clarifying who reached out to who, and what the deal is.

ICYMI … Mike did a stand-up set a few week in the past the place he made enjoyable of Shannon and his viral “Membership Shay Shay” interviews these days, notably the Katt Williams one. In his set, Mike mentioned Shannon had reached out to him for a follow-up sit-down — after which went on to make some homophobic jokes at Shannon’s expense … all of which caught Shannon’s consideration/fury.

On Sunday — whereas recording his pod with Chad — Shannon unloaded on Mike with out ever naming him — and mentioned the homosexual jokes did not trouble him … however the “mendacity,” as he put it, did. He went to recommend he’d be confronting Mike about this quickly, and maybe extra.

Welp, Mike’s obtained a response to Shannon now … explaining he had truly DM’d Shannon within the aftermath of Katt’s now-infamous interview — throughout which Mike says he felt Shannon was making an attempt to bait KW into trashing his former ‘Friday’ costar, though he by no means did.

Mike says he thinks Shannon is out right here making an attempt to get individuals to say wild issues about others only for clicks — and on the problem of assembly up … ME says they will try this too.

Now, he does notice he does not battle anymore — so it does not sound like he desires to get bodily with the previous tight finish (frankly, no one does) … however he continues to taunt SS.

BTW … Mike has some photographs for Shannon’s pod associate, Chad, and a few insults as well.

Mike and Shannon are sure to cross paths subsequent weekend at 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend … which simply occurs to be in Mike’s hometown of Indianapolis. So … issues are taking place.

This is hoping these dudes can play good and resolve their points with phrases … not fists.
