His affluence has given way to his exceptional selectiveness. In describing one such instance, Sharpe, in his recent appearance on the ‘Nightcap’ baffled his partner Ochocinco with the amount he spent on a pet dog.
In a captivating peek into his personal life, Shannon Sharpe narrated that he went to extraordinary lengths in order to acquire a pet dog from overseas. During this exchange on the ‘Nightcap’, he started with his motivation behind the wanting to acquire the particular breed saying,
“It was February what happened I went and got a dog and the dog was from overseas. I did because the dog was beautiful and I wanted one to look like this. I named him you know, I call him Teddy. We call him Teddy bear because he looks like a teddy bear.”
Later in the conversation, he also explained the lengths to which he had to go to bring him home.
“The lady brought him from overseas. So I had to pay a lady to leave her country, fly to another country, pick the dog up, fly to LA, drop the dog off, just long enough and then get back,” said Sharpe.
This left Chad Johnson in disbelief, as he couldn’t stop himself from asking about the money he spent on that dog. Sharpe elaborated, “A rack is ten thousand. So it cost a rack.” Ochocinco was baffled by this revelation, exclaiming, “Man, you paid ten thousand for a dog?”
While Sharpe delved deep into how he acquired his furry friend, it was the $10000 price-tag, that seriously bothered his co-host. The Shapeshifter also shed light on the recent video of Sharpe getting the dog from the airport, which went viral.
