Shannon Sharpe came after Nicki Minaj in front of Deion Sanders and LaDainian Tomlinson
One time, Sharpe got together with NFL legend Deion Sanders and LaDainian Tomlinson on the former talk show ‘The NFL GameDay Prime’ to discuss plays, and things got a little interesting when Nicki Minaj was brought up. Deion Sanders, aka Prime Time, is a legendary cornerback and returner who has a net worth of $40 million.
LaDainian Tomlinson was a great running back for the then San Diego Chargers and has a net worth of $25 million, giving the two legendary players a combined $65 million net worth. Combine that with Shannon Sharpe’s $14 million, and the trio have a net worth of $99 million.
Shannon Sharpe asked Prime Time if he was still in the coaching business, and Sanders picked out a perfect time to bring up one of his favorite.
“Hey Prime, you still coaching a team, you have any interesting audible calls you could share?” Shannon asked. “We got one play,” Prime chuckled. “We call it Nicki Minaj.” Shannon immediately responded, “Issa fake ain’t it.”
That had everyone on set laughing and crying as Shannon tried to justify what he meant. “Man! Yea but you set me up! I’m sorry Nicki I’m sorry Nicki I got none against you. Man, why do you do that?”
Deion Sanders made sure there was no ill will either, “I love Nicki. They didn’t want to admit, I just wanted to see what you gonna say.”
