Fat Joe kicks off his conversation with Shannon Sharpe at Club Shay Shay by joking that he wants to be like Snoop Dogg. He shares his upbringing, explaining that he just wanted to escape poverty. Joe tells pivotal stories from his upbringing like when his best friend abandoned him to side with attackers, being shot at by the same guy eight times in two days, how hip hop saved his life, and being framed for three murders by the cops. Joe also mentions how he constantly gets canceled by Gen Z every time he goes on Instagram Live.

Joe reflects on the deaths of modern rappers like Nipsey Hussle, Pop Smoke, and PnB Rock, comparing them to Tupac and Biggie Smalls. He stresses that people need to come together, just like Jay-Z and DJ Khaled, and comments on Michael Rubin’s controversial remarks. He adds that he tries to inspire youth through his flexing rather than tear the community apart.

The conversation then transitions to the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar beef, to which Fat Joe jokes that he doesn’t want anyone to kill him after his interview with Shannon for his opinion on the matter. He says if he were Drake, he’d be confused. He highlights how the song is nominated for multiple Grammys and believes it will become an all-time classic. Joe likens the public’s fascination with the beef to watching football and believes Drake can make everyone forget about the feud depending on how he responds.

Fat Joe recalls attempting to squash the beef between Ja Rule and 50 Cent, saying they should have ended it by now. He expresses hope that Young Thug will be released from jail so he can take care of his loved ones again. Joe recounts losing a $20 million Jordan Brand endorsement due to his feud with 50 Cent, revealing it wasn’t the only financial hit he took because of beefs—he also lost money beefing with Jay-Z. He warns young rappers that the Feds are watching rappers’ crews and pinning it back on the artist, referencing Bobby Shmurda’s situation.  Lastly, Joe praises Jay-Z for doing great work with the NFL but understands why Lil Wayne is upset about not performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans.

Deon Cole Part 2

Deon Cole sits down with Shannon Sharpe at Club Shay Shay for a wide-ranging conversation full of wild stories and celebrity encounters. Deon kicks things off by asking Shannon if his infamous Instagram Live video was staged, setting the tone for the comedic and candid interview that follows.

Deon dives into his career highlights, starting with his latest Netflix special and the unforgettable moment when Paul McCartney attended one of his shows and even joined him on stage. Things took a crazy turn when Deon smoked a joint with Paul, which led to what he describes as the worst performance of his comedy career. Deon goes on to share other star-studded experiences of appreciation for his comedy, from visiting the White House and meeting Christian Bale, to encounters with Meryl Streep and Eddie Murphy.

In one of the episode's wildest stories, Deon recalls the time a man rushed the stage during one of his performances and swung at him, only for Deon to punch him back with the microphone still in his hand. Deon lightens the mood by talking about his experiences with weed, hilariously breaking down the difference between smoking with White people and Black people. He even shares how he was once such a terrible drug dealer that he ended up painting a house to settle a debt and how a prostitute gave him money for his first comedy headshots.

Deon reveals why he quit smoking weed for 13 years and reflects on conspiracy theories, police brutality, and his proposed solution for societal issues. He also opens up about masking personal pain with humor, dedicating a special to his late mother in Brooklyn on the one-year anniversary of her passing.

When the conversation turns to dating, Deon doesn’t hold back. He describes the dating scene as a mess, admits that he wouldn’t leave a woman who cheated on him, and hilariously claims all the baddest women are found in health food stores. He uses Halle Berry as an example of how difficult it can be to date someone incredibly famous, and shares his thoughts on the importance of a partner bringing peace rather than money.

Deon gets real about his celebrity dating experiences, including a time when Stevie Wonder stole his girl and made him take a cab home while she stayed with Stevie. Deon jokes that even President Obama knows about Stevie Wonder's reputation for stealing women. He also recalls dating one of Shaquille O'Neal's exes and admits he felt traumatized trying to "fill Shaq’s shoes."
