Former NFL player and sports analyst Shannon Sharpe has responded to comedian Eddie Griffin after Griffin made some jokes at his expense during a recent stand-up performance. Sharpe, who hosts the popular podcast “Club Shay Shay,” took to social media to warn Griffin not to use him or his show for his jokes.
In a series of tweets, Sharpe expressed his disappointment at Griffin’s jokes, stating that he is a fan of the comedian but did not appreciate being the butt of his jokes. He also made it clear that he did not want to be associated with Griffin’s comedy material in any way.
“Yo @EddieGriffinCom I’m a fan, but don’t use me & my show in ur jokes. If u got a problem w/ me, say my name,” Sharpe tweeted.
Fans of both Sharpe and Griffin were quick to weigh in on the situation, with some showing their support for Sharpe and others defending Griffin’s right to freedom of speech as a comedian.
This is not the first time that Sharpe has had to address critics and haters, as he has built a reputation for being outspoken and standing up for himself on social media.
It remains to be seen whether Griffin will respond to Sharpe’s warning or if this will be the end of the feud between the two celebrities. In the meantime, fans can tune in to Club Shay Shay to hear more from Sharpe himself.
