Mike Epps took to Instagram to confess that he fabricated a story about Shannon Sharpe being gay and claimed that Sharpe had invited him onto his show.
In response, Sharpe vehemently denied Epps’ accusations and issued a threat of physical confrontation. He challenged Epps to confront him in person, suggesting that Epps was upset over comments made by Katt Williams.
The podcast host seemed to be responding to remarks made by Mike Epps during a recent comedy performance. Shared via X, formerly Twitter, the footage has gone viral, showing Epps claiming that Sharpe contacted him “trying to do an interview.”
In the clip, Epps appeared to insinuate that Sharpe is gay, drawing comparisons to Tyler Perry’s popular female character, Madea.

Confused by the threat, Epps expressed his disbelief in a video response. He pointed out that others had imitated Sharpe on “Saturday Night Live” without consequence and stated that he would see Sharpe at the upcoming All-Star game.
After the exchange, Sharpe later clarified on another platform that the conflict had been resolved. He apologized for his aggressive reaction.
It’s a relief that the situation didn’t escalate further.
