On the PBD Podcast, Lewis said he was “shocked at his content,” calling out Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay and Nightcap shows. Lewis argued that Sharpe sought popularity by “talking about ignorance,” contrasting it with his own faith-centered approach to influence. He recalled never seeing Sharpe drink during their playing days and said they “went our own separate ways” over choices he could not support. Lewis urged podcasters to use their platforms to uplift, asking creators to assess whether they “give life or give death.” Recent coverage notes reports that Sharpe reached a settlement in a $50 million civil sexual-assault case and that ESPN cut ties, with no public rebuttal from Sharpe cited.
