Shannon Sharpe will have to explain to the higher-ups at Disney/ESPN what happened during a live session on his Instagram page.
The former NFL pro turned ESPN First Take co-host, and now popular podcaster has taken all the attention off Lil Wayne not performing at the Super Bowl, Donald Trump getting smoked by Kamala Harris at the debate, and PS5 Pro’s price.

Shannon Sharpe’s Instagram followers had no idea that when they clicked on his Instagram Live session, they would get a front-row seat to a pound session.
While you can’t see Sharpe and the woman in the video, you can hear someone who many believe sounds like him handling business.
Sharpe’s phone rings off the hook during the “accidental live session.” A friend or someone in his close orbit was likely calling him to let him know what was going on his Instagram page.
We won’t be sharing the clips here, but they have since gone viral on X, formerly Twitter. Folks are already saying he is about to suffer the same fate as Paul Pierce, who is currently giving god-awful sports takes on Fox Sports after he was let go by ESPN after he went live on his IG page with strippers.
Nobody Is Buying What Shannon Sharpe Is Selling
Sharpe has since responded, claiming his account was “hacked.”
“Beware, my @Shannonsharpe84 page was hacked this morning, my team and I are working vigorously to figure this out. — UNC.”
Unfortunately, social media does not buy what Sharpe is selling.
Another hilarious post on X read, “Shannon Sharpe was in there grunting and growling like a Cane Corso but wants us to believe he got hacked. ”
Welp.
After retiring from professional football in 2003, Sharpe seamlessly transitioned into a successful sports media and broadcasting career. His charismatic personality, insightful analysis, and unwavering passion for the game endeared him to audiences across the country.
Aside from stints with The NFL Today on CBS, FS1’s Undisputed, and now currently co-hosting ESPN’s First Take, Sharpe also serves as the host of Club Shay Shay, a podcast and YouTube show that he launched in 2022 and on which he engages in intimate conversations with celebrities from entertainment, media, sports, and music, delving deep into their personal stories. They all helped to make him the pop culture sensation that he is today.
We are very intrigued to see how this will play out. You can see more reactions in the gallery below.
