Mo’Nique has been trending for a myriad of reasons of late.

First, for unloading on pretty much everyone during her viral visit to Club Shay Shay and then because of remarks her oldest son, Shalon Jackson, made in response.

As reported, Shalon (who is a comedian himself) took to TikTok to address the reasons his mother made public for their estrangement.

In the wake of his video, Mo’Nique and her husband-manager Sidney Hicks (“Daddy”) dropped a video of their own countering Shalon’s claims of the star being an absent mother. There was also the inference that he has mental health issues. Text message exchanges were then shared.

The latter appears to have irked the father of one anew.

For, he’s shared another video response.

As the Shannon Sharpe-hosted ‘Club Shay Shay’ continues its rise in notoriety on the back of internet-breaking interviews like Katt Williams and Monique’s, so has increased criticism of the podcast.

Among the many headline-grabbing slams of the platform, those coming from Mike Epps seem to be ringing loudest as he took time during a recent standup gig to insinuate Sharpe was a closeted homosexual.

“That ni**a Shannon called me trying to do an interview,” the 53-year-old said to the crowd before calling the podcaster “Madea’s sister.” “I said ‘no Madea, I ain’t doing no interview with you’ – so you can sit across from me and look at my balls.”

Once the clip got to the desk of Sharpe, he offered a fiery clap back.

“When I see you, I’m going to see if you’re about that. I’m going to see if you want to say what you’ve been saying, getting off some jokes,” the football icon said before relaying, “Tell your little jokes, get your little laughs off, have fun. But, just don’t lie.”

That’s not all that was said.
