Shannon Sharpe isn’t a stranger to troublesome and controversial remarks. The former Broncos star hosts the infamous Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED with Skip Bayless. As a part of a media debate show, Shannon gets the pass for saying a lot of things. However, this one remark about Nicki Minaj could have made headlines if it reached the hip-hop star.

The particular incident took place in the former NFL talk show ‘The NFL GameDay Prime’ with former legends Deion ‘Prime Time’ Sanders and LaDainian Tomlinson. Shannon claims his show co-guests set him up and also apologized to Nicki.
