R&B singer and entrepreneur Ray J has publicly reached out to NFL legend Shannon Sharpe with some pointed advice following what appears to be a controversial incident. In a recent Instagram post, Ray J tagged the Hall of Fame tight end with a message suggesting Sharpe may have been set up in a compromising situation.
The post, which has gained significant traction online, shows Ray J sharing a screenshot with text reading: “SMH – THEY SET U UP!! — YOU GOTTA CHILL AFTER THIS BRO!’ — NO MORE KINKY SHIT MAN — #PrayingforYou @shannonsharpe84”
While Ray J doesn’t explicitly detail what incident he’s referring to, the message comes amid social media buzz surrounding Shannon Sharpe. The timing and nature of the post suggest Ray J is responding to something that has recently placed Sharpe in an uncomfortable position.
Ray J’s supportive message to Sharpe comes while the singer has been busy with The Millennium Tour. In recent posts, Ray J has documented his travels across various cities including Chicago, Memphis, and Charlotte, performing alongside other R&B legends.
Just days before his message to Sharpe, Ray J posted about gifting a Rolex to someone named Melinda Santiago for her birthday, writing: “#CHICAGO WE HERE!!! HAD TO BLESS THE QUEEN @MELINDASANTIAGO WITH A BRAND NEW ROLEX & HEART CHARM FROM THE WHOLE @OFFICIALRSVP FAMILY!!!”
The singer has also been highlighting the tour’s success, sharing moments of traveling on private jets between shows and performing with artists like Trey Songz. In one particularly notable post, Ray J claimed he even flew a private jet himself, writing: “NO FLIGHTS… NO PILOTS!!! SO I BOOKED THE JET AND GOT BEHIND THE CONTROLS MYSELF!!!”
Beyond his music career and tour life, Ray J has been expanding his presence in the streaming world. He recently announced on Instagram that he’s been breaking records with his Twitch streaming and plans to give away $50,000 to subscribers.
He’s also been connecting with prominent streamers like Kai Cenat. In a recent post, Ray J shared: “LIVE FROM THE PJ I HAD TO CALL @KAICENAT ON TWITCH!!! I NEEDED ANSWERS—WHY EVERYBODY BEEN CALLING ME UNC?!?”
Ray J’s concern for Sharpe is notable as both are public figures who have expanded beyond their original claims to fame. While Ray J transitioned from music to business ventures and now streaming, Sharpe has become a prominent sports analyst and media personality following his NFL career.
The “they set u up” comment suggests Ray J believes Sharpe may have been caught in a compromising situation not entirely of his own making. His warning about “no more kinky shit” implies the situation may involve personal or intimate matters that have become public.
Ray J, born William Ray Norwood Jr., is no stranger to public controversies himself. The singer, who first gained fame in the 2000s with hits like “One Wish” and “Sexy Can I,” previously faced intense media scrutiny following his relationship with Kim Kardashian and the subsequent leak of their private tape.
Perhaps drawing from his own experiences with public scandals, Ray J appears to be offering both sympathy and advice to Sharpe during what seems to be a challenging moment for the sports commentator.
As of now, Shannon Sharpe has not publicly responded to Ray J’s message of support.
For fans of both personalities, this interaction represents an unexpected crossover between the worlds of sports commentary and R&B entertainment, united through what appears to be a moment of celebrity solidarity during a difficult situation.
