Mike Epps refuses to be a Club Shay Shay guest until Shannon Sharpe puts white celebrities in the hot seat.
The feud started last year, when Epps claimed during a stand-up engagement that he denied Sharpe an opportunity to interview him on the podcast in light of Katt Williams' viral appearance. Epps jokingly called Sharpe "Madea" during the routine and accused the former NFL player of exposing his Club Shay Shay guests.
For weeks afterwards, Epps and Sharpe threw insults at each other over social media and on the Sharpe Nightcap podcast. But one year after they patched things up, Epps had more smoke for Sharpe during a visit on The Breakfast Club on Tuesday (March 4).
Around the 28-minute mark of the video below, co-host Loren Lorosa asked Epps whether he'd be up for a Club Shay Shay walk on this year.
"Naw, I ain't going to do no Club Shay Shay. ... Shannon Sharpe, y'all got to bring some white men on here and and grill them. You can't just grill Black people, that shit ain't right."
"Y'all got to bring some white men on here and and grill them," he continued. You can't just grill Black people, that shit ain't right. And I know we make money off click baiting, but clickbait them white folks. Get some of your NFL players that you know was fucked up. Get him on his show."
Epps added that while Williams' appearance was popular, the comedian "hurt them dudes' feelings," as he commented on Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer, Kevin Hart and more.
"We've got to balance it out, man. Shannon Sharpe, if you're listening, we want to see you interview some of them white football players that was in the NFL that was fucked up just to balance [it out.]"
"And not on no race shit," he continued. "But you can't just interview Black men and let them pour out all they pain on these on these podcasts, man. That's some bullshit."
Epps emphasized that Black male celebrities are more than just "problems" and that a light should be shined on the "positive" they bring to the culture.
For background, Club Shay Shay has seen white guests, including Teddy Swims, Dana White and Gary Owen.
While we may not see an Epps and Sharpe sit down for a while, the actor-comedian will star in Last Friday, the fourth and final installment of the Friday franchise, which he confirmed on The Breakfast Club.
