Shannon Sharpe didn’t hold back when addressing Jim Jones’ past remarks about Nas during a recent episode of Nightcap. Around the 1:04:00 mark, the NFL Hall of Famer turned podcast host directly challenged Jim over his controversial claim that he’s better than the Queensbridge legend.
“What were you smoking when you said you’re better than Nas?” Shannon asked bluntly, setting the tone for a heated and humorous exchange between the two.
The debate quickly turned into a spirited back-and-forth. Shannon stood firm, telling Jim that he couldn’t touch Nas—past or present—on the mic. Jim, for his part, acknowledged that he misspoke when he previously claimed to have more Billboard placements than Nas. However, he doubled down on one point: he still believes he’d beat Nas in a rap battle today.
The conversation took a playful turn when Jim shifted gears and challenged Shannon to a workout battle instead. “You might be able to lift more than me,” Jim joked, “but I’d still outwork you.”
Check out the full exchange in the video above to see the two go toe-to-toe in both bars and biceps.
