Flash in a recent conversation sharp opened up about the chaos he's faced since the Cat Williams interview went viral he discussed this during a chat with Cam Newton explaining why celebrities feel comfortable opening up on his podcast Shannon's approach is simple yet effective he makes sure that his guests know they have the freedom to avoid any topic they prefer not to discuss this creates a relaxed and trusting atmosphere encouraging his guests to speak more freely Shannon also believes that it's possible to share stories without dragging anyone down but he acknowledges that those whove spent significant time in the business inevitably have a lot of tales to tell he respects the decision of others to avoid certain narratives but doesn't feel it's his role to stop anyone from sharing their own experiences in his latest interview Shannon addressed critics who argue that he's not a real journalist he admitted he's never claimed to be one for those familiar with him Shannon sharp is a former NFL player and a Hall of Famer who has transitioned successfully into sports commentary in 2020 he launched his podcast Club Shay Shay which gained massive attention after the Cat Williams interview propelling it to over 70 million views making it the most watched episode interestingly that now famous interview almost didn't happen sharp revealed that he had been trying to to get Cat Williams on the show for about a year the Breakthrough came when he ran into Cat's new manager and just a week later cat was on Club Shay spilling secrets about Hollywood and the music industry Cat Williams knew that his Revelations would send shock waves through the industry and he was right while Shannon enjoyed the success of the episode it also Drew negative attention some powerful industry insiders upset with Shannon's growing influence reportedly launched efforts to discredit him and his podcast despite the push back celebrities and fans have shown overwhelming support for Sharp after

whether or not Shannon sharp can weather this storm and continue his rise remains to be seen but it's clear he's not backing down without a fight Cat Williams known for his No Holds Barred approach sparked significant controversy during his interview on Club sha Shay taking aim at numerous celebrities and Industry figures his criticisms ranged from allegations of joke theft to questioning the Integrity of some of Hollywood's biggest names with each accusation stirring waves across the entertainment industry Williams began his critique with Steve Harvey accusing him of stealing content from from fellow comedian Mark Curry for his own sitcom according to Williams Harvey watched Curry's show in its entirety and then appropriated its content he didn't stop there Williams also mocked Harvey's acting career claiming it has been limited to television because Harvey lacks the versatility for film in a particularly scathing comment Williams quipped there are 30,000 new scripts in Hollywood each year and not one of them calls for a country bumpin black character who can't speak well and resembles Mr Potato Head next Williams turned his attention to Cedric the Entertainer another comedian he accused of stealing material he highlighted a specific incident stating I performed this joke on TV in 2018 you saw me at The Comedy Store in 2019 and then you used it on the Kings of Comedy Williams didn't hold back on Cedric's Talent either claiming we've learned that he can neither sing nor dance and doesn't write his own material he went so far as to deride Cedric's comedy specials noting that they were poorly received and unavailable on platforms like Netflix Ricky Smiley too wasn't spared Williams accused him of dishonesty particularly over a claim that smiley was supposed to play the role of Money Mike in Friday After Next a role that Williams famously took on according to Williams Smiley's constant Presence at his auditions was orchestrated by none other than and Steve Harvey revealing the underhanded tactics used in Hollywood circles one of the most explosive parts of the interview came when Williams spoke about P Diddy he claimed that Diddy had attempted to lure him into compromising situations and that he had to protect his Integrity Williams explained that Diddy in his opinion has a sense of entitlement as if he owns people and can dictate circumstances around them this accusation fueled long-standing rumors surrounding Diddy's Behavior within the industry Kevin Hart one of Hollywood's most successful comedians also found himself in Williams crosshairs Williams questioned the legitimacy of Hart's meteoric rise in the entertainment industry implying that it might have been orchestrated by unseen forces in my 15 years in Hollywood William stated I I've never met anyone who remembers attending a soldout Kevin Hart show he went on to say has anyone ever heard of a comedian who in their first year in La not only landed their own network sitcom but also starred in a major movie like Soul Plane that's unheard of Williams then shifted his Focus to the recent controversy surrounding Jonathan Majors speculating that the industry has the power to build someone up and bring them down at will maybe I'm just a conspiracy theorist Williams mused but when they elevate you to such a high position it's almost like a part of the deal is understanding they can bring you down whenever they choose shoes finally Williams took shots at Michael blackon and Tyler P he criticized blackson's comedic style arguing that his exaggerated African accent is more contrived than authentic as for perry Williams suggested that the industry places undue pressure on him especially regarding his perceived responsibility to uplift other black actors Williams's incendiary comments have caused significant ripples not just in Hollywood but among fans as well many have applauded his bravery in calling out what he sees as injustices and manipulations in the industry While others feel he may have gone too far potentially damaging relationships and Burning Bridges Shannon sharp as the host of Club Shay now finds himself in the
