- Shannon Sharpe was being interviewed by the paparazzi outside a restaurant when Selena Gomez walked by
- The paparazzi cut Shannon Sharpe off mid-sentence to get pictures of Selena Gomez and talk to her
- Shannon Sharpe hilariously reacted saying he would have asked for her autograph after the clip went viral
Shannon Sharpe has become one of the most recognizable faces in sports media in the last few years. His fame has skyrocketed even further since he joined Stephen A. Smith on First Take. So it’s no surprise he is hassled by the paparazzi at times.
He had a unique experience on Thursday night though. As he was talking to the paparazzi, Selena Gomez walked by, leading to him being completely ignored. He acknowledged the clip on social media with a brilliant reaction.
“Had I realized it was her. I ABSOLUTELY would’ve asked her 4 a pic,” Sharpe posted on X in response to the viral clip.
Even right after the encounter, when the paparazzi returned to him, Sharpe didn’t seem hurt, simply telling him, “Nah bruh, you good!”

Shannon Sharpe might have become a celebrity in his own right, but he will always come second to an international pop star like Selena Gomez.
In statistical terms, Selena Gomez has 429 million Instagram followers compared to Sharpe’s 2.8 million, so the choice from the paparazzi is just business, nothing personal.
Shannon Sharpe’s Net Worth, Stephen A. Smith Partnership, Club Shay Shay Podcast Success
Shannon Sharpe has grown his career steadily for the last seven years as Skip Bayless’ co-host on Undisputed. He is no longer with the show, but that’s only because he has moved on to bigger things for himself.
After the 2022-23 NBA season, Shannon Sharpe announced his departure from Undisputed. After a brief hiatus, he returned as Stephen A. Smith’s partner on ESPN’s First Take.
It’s not just national TV jobs that Sharpe has changed in recent times, he has also started his venture. Shannon’s Club Shay Shay podcast has gone from strength to strength, with 1.32 million subscribers on YouTube.
Shannon Sharpe has interviewed legendary NBA stars like Magic Johnson and Dwyane Wade on his podcast. His media career is truly on a different level. There’s a reason Shannon Sharpe can flex his breakfast on private planes.
While being far from finished growing his media presence, Shannon Sharpe has managed to build up his net worth. His estimated $14 million net worth is already quite close to First Take co-host Stephen A. Smith. Shannon Sharpe has become a force to be reckoned with.
Shannon Sharpe Said He Can’t Name A Single Selena Gomez Song And Refused To Shoot His Shot At Her
Many people in the media business would be offended if someone walked away mid-sentence to go and chase another star. But Shannon Sharpe understands the game, and he broke down the Selena Gomez clip further on his podcast.
“When I got there, I saw like one or two paparazzi,” Sharpe said. “I think she saw me leave and then her team told her, ‘This will be our opportunity because they’ll probably get him.’ If I’d have known it was her, I’d have said, ‘Ma’am, can I get a picture?'”
Despite this, Sharpe insisted he can’t name a single Selena Gomez song. He said, “I don’t know what she does… I know she’s a singer.”
When asked to name one of her songs, he added, “Hell, I could barely name her. I just found out this morning that’s Selena Gomez. What the hell you mean, ‘Name a song,’ I can barely name her.”

Shannon Sharpe hilariously refused a chance to shoot his shot with Selena Gomez after he said all this as well. Despite this chance encounter going viral, it seems Unc isn’t interested in getting to know Gomez too well.
