*Shannon Sharpe has disclosed that his Club Shay Shay interview with Katt Williams earned him more money than any NFL season.
“Everybody was talking ’bout, ‘well how much money [he] made doing the Katt Williams interview;’ I just got the check,” Sharpe told Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson during an episode of their Nightcap podcast, Vibe reports.
“Put it like this here, I made more money on Katt Williams alone than I made in any year I played in the NFL.”
Vibe reports that Sharpe “earned an NFL career-high of $5 million in 2000 during his first season with the Baltimore Ravens,” the outlet writes. Sharpe didn’t disclose the exact figure earned from the controversial sit-down, but hinted that the total surpasses at least $6 million.
“So whatever you think I made, 3x it. So if you think I made five hundred thou, 3x it. If you think a million, 3x it,” he continued. “If you think I made $2 million, 3x it.”
“Club Shay Shay is going to be in a dimension it’s never been. The greatest thing floating in 2024. Mark the words. In a whole different realm of business. Oprah coming next! Once I establish this as a place of truth, oh yeah. Watch! God’s people ain’t that few.” – @KattWilliams pic.twitter.com/uYWikrwwkf

Sharpe hit up Twitter earlier this year to highlight the reach of the Jan. 3 interview with Katt. He captioned the post with a direct quote from the comedian, who said at the top of their conversation: “Club Shay Shay is going to be in a dimension it’s never been. The greatest thing floating in 2024. Mark the words. In a whole different realm of business. Oprah coming next! Once I establish this as a place of truth, oh yeah. Watch! God’s people ain’t that few.”
We reported previously that the bombshell interview garnered over 46 million views in 10 days across social media and over a million audio downloads. Sharpe’s social media following also significantly increased due to “The Katt Williams Effect.”
