Rapper Cam’ron appeared to have an interesting take on Shannon Sharpe’s Instagram scandal. On September 11, 2024, Sharpe’s Instagram account accidentally streamed a video of him engaging in sexual activity, though only the audio was audible. He later expressed that he was embarrassed by the incident, which he described as a mistake.
In response to the scandalous livestream, Cam'ron shared a parody on Instagram where he humorously mimicked the situation by pretending to receive oral s*x from a woman in a moving car. Cam'ron said remarks like “Get on top while I drive” and “Watch the teeth.” He also said:
“You steer, I'll push the pedals. You steer the car.”
The dialogue becomes increasingly crude and absurd as the video progresses. Cam’ron posted the video with the caption ‘My bad I was hacked y’all’, as a way to ridicule Shannon Sharpe who claimed that his Instagram was hacked after the accidental livestream went viral.
During the video, he glanced at his phone on the car floor. After he was done with the activity, Cam’ron looked at his phone and, feigning surprise, remarked that he was live and needed to turn it off.
Cam’ron did not believe Shannon Sharpe’s IG mishap was accidental
Despite Shannon Sharpe’s initial claim that the incident was accidental, Cam'ron said he was not convinced by the explanation during an episode of the It Is What It Is podcast. He argued that going live requires pressing multiple buttons, making it unlikely that the stream was a mistake.
“That n***a cappin’. That s**t was on purpose. You can’t go live without pushing, like, four or five buttons. That n***a cappin’, bro. You gotta push, like, four buttons to go live,” Cam’ron said.
Regarding why he believed it wasn’t accidental, he suggested that Shannon Sharpe might have attempted to create a viral moment, implying that the entire situation could have been staged. He pointed out that the audio was unusually clear, suggesting that Sharpe must have been very close to his phone, possibly even using AirPods.
He also noted that Sharpe’s apology seemed insincere, since at the same time, he was bragging about his activities. Sharpe clarified later that he had tossed his phone onto the bed, unaware that it started the accidental livestream.
Shannon Sharpe said he felt disappointed after the incident
On September 12, 2024, Shannon Sharpe addressed the Instagram mishap on his podcast Nightcap. He said it was until his marketing team informed him about the situation, that he realized what had happened. Sharpe said:
“A lot of people count on Shannon to be professional at all times and I always try to be professional at all times. Even when I am behind closed doors, I still try to remain professional although I am in the privacy of my own home and I am very disappointed in myself.”
He emphasized that his disappointment wasn’t due to the act itself, as millions of consenting adults engage in similar activities. Shannon Sharpe explained that, as someone who values privacy, having such an intimate moment unintentionally shared with the public was deeply upsetting.
He also clarified that his phone wasn’t hacked and it wasn't a prank. Acknowledging the situation, he described it as a mere reflection of being a healthy, active adult, addressing any doubts people might have had.
