Shannon Sharpe's recent comments about Megan Thee Stallion did not go over so well on social media. Sharpe, who hosts his Nightcap podcast with Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, had a clip go viral when the Houston Hottie came up as a topic of discussion.
“I’d have her stretched out like quarter to three,” Sharpe said. “I do it three ways, Ocho: deep, hard, and continuously… I’d have her opening up like saloon doors.”
Fans thought Sharpe's comment about the rapper was a little too vulgar and sounded off their opinions on X (formerly known as Twitter).
"What Shannon sharpe said about Meg was disgusting af," one fan wrote.
"Shannon Sharpe said he'd have Meg stretched out 'like a quarter to 3.' That's a new one. And I've heard some wild stuff," another fan wrote.
However, Sharpe did apologize to Megan if she was offended by his comment about her.
"I tell you what, if Meg had a problem with anything that I've said, let me take the time to say I'm sorry, and I apologize," Sharpe said.
"And that we love you," Ocho chimed in, with Sharpe agreeing, "Yes."
She has not responded to the original comment or the apology at this time.
Megan Thee Stallion Opens Up About Current Love Life
In her first solo single of the year, she addressed her breakup with Pardison Fontaine and his alleged cheating on "Cobra." Over the weekend, the rapper hopped on Instagram Live to update fans about her love life and what she will be abstaining from for a while.
"It’s like, nobody be listening to my music," she said in an Instagram Live. "They be like, ‘Megan Thee Stallion, I cannot believe she likes to have sex! I cannot believe Megan Thee Stallion f----!’ Bitch, y’all be… But no, I am turning over a new leaf. And I’m stingy with the c------ cat. I’m not a freak anymore. Oh my God. I’m done. I’m done with the streets. So toxic in the streets. I’m tired with the streets."
Hip-Hop has been fighting to get a No. 1 hit single on the Billboard Hot 100 all year. We have not yet topped the charts this year - which is 50th anniversary of the genre. But that doesn't mean that there have not been great songs this year.
Hip-Hop has had several features from Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj, J. Cole, this year. Ice Spice released her debut EP Like..? in January. It had one feature from fellow Bronx emcee Lil Tjay on "Gangsta Boo." The six-track EP also contained "Princess Diana," "Bikini Bottom," "In Ha Mood," "Actin a Smoochie," and her breakout hit "Munch (Feelin' U)." Nicki Minaj also hopped on "Princess Diana" with Ice Spice in April. The two linked up again to release "Barbie World" together in June for the Barbie film soundtrack.
As for Nicki, her only solo song of the year is "Red Ruby Da Sleeze" but she has stayed in the studio. Besides her feature on "Princess Diana," she has also hopped on Kim Petras' "Alone," Sexyy Red's "Poundtown Remix," YoungBoy Never Broke Again's "WTF," and Machel Montano and Destra's "Shake The Place."
The latest has been her feature on Uzi's "Endless Fashion," and Young Thug's "Money" with the late Juice WRLD.
J. Cole has since released "Procrastination (Broke)" and has hopped on Summer Walker's "To Summer From Cole (audio hug)" from her Clear 2: Soft Life EP as well as Lil Durk's "All My Life."
R&B, however, has had a better chart record this year as SZA's SOS hit "Kill Bill" stayed on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for 16 weeks. It beat Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You" as the longest-running No. 1 single by a solo female artist prior to SZA's "Kill Bill."
