Shannon Sharpe‘s X-rated antics have drawn reactions from around the rap world, including from Cam’ron, Joe Budden and Meek Mill.
The former NFL star turned sports broadcaster made headlines for all the wrong reasons on Wednesday (September 11) when he accidentally filmed himself having sex on Instagram Live.
In footage from his livestream that went viral on social media, a woman could be heard moaning in the background while her male partner talked dirty, with the broadcast lasting several minutes.
Sharpe quickly became a trending topic on X (formerly Twitter) as users were left both shocked and amused by the mishap.
Cam’ron posted a picture of the Club Shay Shay host on Instagram and joked: “@pinkhorsepower works so fast, you forget you was in live. Slow down Unc, ya re-up on da way!!” referencing his Pink Horse Power sex supplement.
Joe Budden also saw the funny side of the mishap by writing on X: “Shannon gotta stop man lol,” before adding: “Poor Michelle lol,” referring to the woman’s name which was mentioned in the video.
Meek Mill was seemingly impressed by Sharpe’s performance in the bedroom as he tweeted: “Unc in his bagggg lol.”
In a video posted on Instagram, fellow Philadelphia native Gillie Da Kid said while laughing hysterically: “Muthafucka just sent me a video of Shannon Sharpe. Unc was in the pussy for a minute and 16 seconds. That pussy was too warm for him.”
He added in the caption: “Unc said I gotta Strong Min 16 [crying face emojis].”

Shannon Sharpe himself addressed the commotion during an emergency episode of his Nightcap show with Chad Ochocinco late Wednesday, admitting he was “disappointed” and “embarrassed.”
“Obviously I’m embarrassed,” he said. “Someone that is extremely, extremely private and to have one of your most intimate details — the audio — heard for the entire world to hear, I’m embarrassed for a number of reasons.”
He added: “I’m very disappointed in myself — not for the act. I think there are millions, billions of people of consenting age that engage in activities, but to have your most intimate detail — the audio — to be heard, I’m disappointed in myself. I let a lot of people down.”
Sharpe also denied that he intentionally recorded himself having sex and explained how the blunder happened: “This was not staged. I came in, threw my phone on the bed, engaged in an activity. I’ve never been on IG Live so I don’t know how it works.

“All of a sudden, my other phone is going off and people are calling me — that I’ve never talked to a day in my life on FaceTime — and I’m like, ‘Why are y’all calling me on FaceTime?’”
The 56-year-old said when he finally picked up the phone to one of his business partners and was told what was happening, his “heart sank.”
He added: “My phone wasn’t hacked, it wasn’t a prank; it was me being a healthy, active male. I mean, y’all thought I was bulljiving. Unc get it in, real talk!”
