Shannon Sharpe And Ocho Cinco Shame Kendrick Lamar For Calling Drake A Pedophile Without Any Evidence
On Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson's "Nightcap" podcast, the hosts delved into the legendary lyrical showdown between Drake and Kendrick Lamar on Sunday.
Johnson, also known as Ocho Cinco, articulated that we have "a great artist vs a great lyricist; the two aren't really the same and I'm not sure how to define that." The former Cincinnati Bengal says he finds the whole battle "exciting" as he will "enjoy the moment right now."

"We are going to be talking about this quarrel years from now," Johnson, 46, added.
Sharpe voiced his significant concern regarding Lamar's baseless accusations against Drake, including him calling the Toronto rapper a pedophile without any substantiating evidence.
"I can wear a lot of different hats Ocho but when you start putting that pedo jacket Ocho, that don't fit me," Sharpe, 55, said. "Even if it's a rap beef or a diss or whatever, you know some people are going to believe that."
Johnson agreed, emphasizing that there will always be individuals willing to believe anything, which is why it's essential to "fire back."
Sharpe highlighted that in our community's dynamics, whether Drake, born Aubrey Graham, responds to the allegations or chooses to ignore them, there seems to be no path to victory. "How do I win?" he asked. "How do I clear my name?"
The host of 'Club Shay Shay' asserted that Lamar's attempt to slander Drake's name based on an unsubstantiated allegation is a dangerous activity he does not support.
Sharpe also said Lamar, 36, was hypocritical for being upset with Drake mentioning his family, but then turns around and says even more harmful things about Drake.
Sharpe questioned, "Why would anyone want to be a part of that? It's easy for y'all to say, but let somebody say it's your father, mother, or brother was a pedophile. Would y'all like people tweeting that?"
