Prior to Club Shay Shay, Sharpe was on FOX's Undisputed with Skip Bayless. The show began in 2017, and Sharpe left in 2023 after "escalating tensions" between him and Bayless. Sharpe is also a co-host on Night Cap with former NFL player Ocho Cinco.
Katt Williams' Interview On Club Shay Shay
If you didn't know about Club Shay Shay before, Katt Williams'interview in January was most likely your introduction. Williams left no stone unturned. The comedian took shots at Kevin Hart, Rickey Smiley, Steve Harvey, Cedric The Entertainer, Ludacris, and even Tyler Perry caught a stray. Most of the celebs responded to Williams' attacks including him calling Hart a "industry plant," Perry and Smiley "can't play men to save their lives," and how most of the comedians had "weird light skin wives." Out of all the replies, Ludacris and Williams trading diss tracks were not part of any of our 2024 bingo cards.
Ludacris & Katt Williams Trade Shots After Shannon Sharpe Interview
Luda served Williams a freestyle over Kanye's "Devil In A New Dress" after he said he "ended up with a light-skinned ugly-face wife" and that he was a part of the Illuminati.
"Whatever’s heavy on my heart is always on my mind / Like Snoop [Dogg]’s cannabis shredder, I’m always on my grind / They throwing shade ‘cause n— could never take my shine / I bring my watch collection on my jet, let me take my time / Never been Illuminati, only Ill-Luda-nati," he continued. "And I only left with bitches when coming from any party / Now I’m married with kids, the evolution of life / Never been a clout chaser, never say s–- for likes / RIP John Singleton / You never have to flex when you earned every one of your Fast and Furious checks / Afro with the sideburns, yeah that’s my signature / Addiction’s on the rise, comedians check your temperature."
Williams came back with a diss track for Luda as he briefly stepped into his rapper era.
"I’m coming for your number one spot/ One of us a killer and the other one is not/ One of us the realest and the other one a fraud," Williams rapped, referencing Luda's 2004 single "Number One Spot" over a piano instrumental beat.
"Oh Chris, I wish it never came to this/ And you pissed rapper free for the first time but you dissin’ this/The wrong side of history and a time like this/ So so Ludacris," he continued.
Take a look at the interview here. And have a look at our list: here's who we think Sharpe should interview next:
Jay-Z
(Photo by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images)Jay-Z is possibly gearing up for his 14th studio album, and <em>Club Shay Shay</em> could be the couch where he makes the announcement. If the Brooklyn native were to release an album, it would follow his Grammy-nominated LP <em>4:44</em>, which dropped in 2017. He said he isn't dismissing the idea of doing an album, so it's still possible. While Jay doesn't do interviews, he shared several gems about his upbringing, Roc Nation, and his records with Gayle King late last year, so being open won't be a problem for the rap legend.
Drake

Drake released<em> For All The Dogs: Scary Hours Edition</em> last year, and while Universal Music Group (which Drake is an artist signed under) has pulled several of his songs from TikTok, it would be interesting to see what are Drake's views on the topic. The Toronto rapper has also had some viral moments recently, such as an alleged NSFW video, taking shots at the Grammys, and always planting seeds about retirement. While he's currently on tour, it wouldn't be a bad idea for Sharpe to hit Drake up after he's back from the road.
Kanye
(Photo by Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images)If there is anyone on this list who will give him views similar to Katt Williams's, it's Kanye. The Chicago native is always in the headlines because of his controversial statements. On the music side, he just dropped an album with Ty Dolla $ign, <em>Vultures</em>, on Feb. 9. The two are also expected to headline Rolling Loud in March, and knowing Ye something viral is bound to happen.
Cardi B

It would be interesting to have the Bronx native spill the title or release date on <em>Club Shay Shay.</em> Her last album, <em>Invasion of Privacy</em>, dropped in 2017. Besides music, fans would be interested to know about her and Offset's relationship and what she's up to next.
Megan Thee Stallion
(Photo by Arturo Holmes/Getty Images)Megan Thee Stallion is entertaining on her own, but we believe she and Sharpe can have a viral episode on their hands if she takes a seat on his brown leather couch. The rapper is gearing up for a new album and tour this summer, so she could give the former NFL star some inside scoop. Besides music, fans want to know about her dating life, her ongoing beef with Nicki Minaj, and how she's coping amid Tory Lanez's conviction. Plus, Sharpe already went viral mentioning how attractive he thinks she is, so at this point, he owes her a guest slot.
Nicki Minaj

The rap star currently has beef with Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B, so maybe Sharpe can persuade her to bury the hatchet or get to the root of the feuds. The Queens native just dropped her fifth studio album so we most likely won't be getting any new music but she might be able to give up some tour secrets. Nicki is about to embark on her <em>Pink Friday 2</em> tour in March so Sharpe would need to give the rapper a call quickly.
Diddy

Sharpe would be able to let the rap mogul explain his side of the allegations. It would be interesting to find out what Diddy has been up to as he has maintained a low profile online. Sharpe can also question the Bad Boy Records founder about how the allegations have impacted his relationship with Yung Miami, his family, and more.
50 Cent
(Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images)50 is not one to hold back, and after watching Kat Williams's interview, Sharpe does not mind his guests starting controversies. 50 has had beef with over 10 celebs so him talking about the past would be an interesting topic. He also uses social media to talk about his opinion -- which is often controversial -- on popular pop culture moments. On the business side, the rapper-turned-mogul always has a new project going on so he can speak about what he has coming up next in the <em>Power</em> universe.
