Nicki Minaj disses Shannon Sharpe on ‘Made In NO' remix
The post Nicki Minaj disses Shannon Sharpe on 'Made In NO' remix appeared first on ClutchPoints. Nicki Minaj's remix of Lil Wayne's 'Banned From NO' from his Carter VI album featured some interesting lyrics addressing Shannon Sharpe. Sharpe has been a permanent fixture in the news for the past few months and it's clear that Minaj has been paying attention as she said, 'If I send a pic of Shannon, you ain't that sharp.' Minaj took to her X account after the song was released to bring even more attention to the diss, playfully trolling both Sharpe and his Nightcap co-host Chad Ochocinco, saying: 'If I send a pic of Shannon, you ain't that sharp!!!! Yeah ****** you thought I forgot that 'Nicki who' *** you did? 🤣😩🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO j/k 😐 Ochocinco almost caught a strizzy just by being around yo crazy tail self 🤣😩🤣😩🤣 #BannedFromNORemix' While Shannon Sharpe has been ubiquitous for his viral interviews and his sports take, he has been embroiled in controversy as he was hit with a $50 million sexual assault lawsuit in April. The 13-page lawsuit was filed by a 'Jane Doe' in Nevada, alleging Sharpe had committed assault, sexual assault, battery, and sexual battery, and that he engaged in the intentional infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit states that she and Sharpe started a relationship in 2023 after meeting at a gym in Los Angeles. She claims Sharpe relentlessly pursued her, repeatedly calling, texting, and 'demanding she come to his Beverly Glen mansion.' The relationship is described in the suit as abusive and controlling. The complaint alleges that Sharpe recorded their sexual activities, something without her knowledge, and that he was sharing the videos with others without her permission or knowledge. The suit also alleges that Sharpe threatened to kill her after she attempted to share her location on her iPhone with her friends. On April 24th, Sharpe stepped away from his ESPN duties while also defending his innocence. His statement read: 'My statement is found here and this is the truth. The relationship in question was 100% consensual. At this juncture I am electing to step aside temporarily from my ESPN duties. I will be devoting this time to my family, and responding and dealing with these false and disruptive allegations set against me. I plan to return to ESPN at the start of the NFL preseason. I sincerely appreciate the overwhelming and ongoing support I have received from my family, fans, friends and colleagues. Shannon Sharpe' ESPN also released a statement about Sharpe's temporary departure from his role with the company, stating, 'This is a serious situation, and we agree with Shannon's decision to step away.'

Legendary MTV & BET star Ananda Lewis passes away
The post Legendary MTV & BET star Ananda Lewis passes away appeared first on ClutchPoints. Ananda Lewis, HBCU alumna and legendary television host, has tragically passed away at the age of 52. The news was broken on Wednesday evening by Lewis's sister Lakshmi in a social media post. 'She's free, and in His heavenly arms. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 Lord, rest her soul🙏🏽,' she posted. Lewis graduated cum laude from Howard University in 1995 with a degree in history. During her time at Howard, she appeared in the music video for 'Baby, I'm Yours,' a hit R&B song by Shai, fellow Howard alumni. Filmed on campus in 1993, she played the love interest of vocalist Carl 'Groove' Martin. Following her HBCU experience, she became the host of BET's Teen Summit, in which she appeared on the program for three seasons. She ultimately got the call to become a VJ for MTV, hosting shows such as Total Request Live and Hot Zone. She also hosted her own eponymous talk show In a 2020 Instagram post, Lewis disclosed her diagnosis of stage III breast cancer, explaining that she had avoided regular mammograms due to a fear of radiation. By October 2024, during a roundtable discussion with CNN's Stephanie Elam (a longtime college friend) and CNN anchor Sara Sidner Lewis revealed she had chosen not to follow medical advice to undergo a double mastectomy. Unfortunately, her cancer had metastasized and progressed to stage IV, as she shared during the discussion. She also noted that she had pursued homeopathic treatments during her journey. 'My plan at first was to get out excessive toxins in my body. I felt like my body is intelligent, I know that to be true. Our bodies are brilliantly made. I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way. . . . I wish I could go back. It's important for me to admit where I went wrong with this,' she said. She eventually wrote an essay in Essence in January 2025 urging women to take preventative measures and to listen to their bodies. 'We're not meant to stay here forever. We come to this life, have experiences — and then we go,' she wrote. 'Being real about that with yourself changes how you choose to live. I don't want to spend one more minute than I have to suffering unnecessarily. That, for me, is not the quality of life I'm interested in. When it's time for me to go, I want to be able to look back on my life and say, 'I did that exactly how I wanted to.''
