Timbaland Thanks Jay-Z & Drake For Their Help Through His “Darkest Moment”

Addiction can be one of the most destructive and difficult obstacles in one’s life, whether physically or mentally. However, when you have people who really care for you by your side, they can help you conquer any demons you may face. While speaking to Shannon Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay podcast on Monday (May 15), Timbaland recalled how Jay-Z and Drake helped him through a very tough time in his life. Not only that, but the legendary producer remarked quite candidly on how their impact was more meaningful than they could ever know.

“JAY-Z is a prophet,” Timbaland expressed. “God sent him. I ain’t never seen nobody like him. Hov actually raised me, and he don’t even know it. He raised me in the music business. He was so prolific, so wise beyond his age, that I was just amazed at just watching him. That’s why I had a different bond with Jay when it comes to my music. We was rewriting the Bible, in a way.” In addition to Hov, he also took the time to thank the Canadian superstar for his guidance.

Timbaland’s Full Conversation With Shannon Sharpe

“Even Drake told me,” Timbaland continued. “That’s why I’m like, these guys are special to the world. Now, once they give you the information, it’s up to you to use it. I didn’t come out until the darkness, man, and that’s why I say, it’s all love with these guys. They helped me during my darkest moment.” Of course, testimonies like this are incredibly hard to hear, let alone stand by as a person who saw the light of recovery. Still, the 51-year-old is appreciative of the fact that others were able to see what his struggles blinded him to.

Meanwhile, Rick Ross was another rap legend who recently gave Drake and Jay-Z their flowers, albeit for very different and less serious reasons. Moreover, Rozay named them as two of the few rappers who hear a beat with him, write and record something on the spot, and stand by its quality. Whether in the booth or outside, clearly the two rap leaders earn the praise they receive. As for Timbaland, his illustrious career will likely continue to prevail against any and all struggles. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on the Virginia beatmaker.

Shannon Sharpe Reveals Feelings On Brooks-James Rivalry

Shannon Sharpe has long been known as a public LeBron James defender. However, many were ready to see James put the Memphis Grizzlies and Dillon Brooks in their place. Luckily, everyone got exactly what they wanted when the Lakers eliminated the Grizzlies in the opening round. The game was an exclamation point from James and the Lakers, letting everyone know not to write them off. But Sharpe believes the issue between James and Dillon was lopsided.

The talents between the two are vastly different. James has every accolade an NBA player could ever achieve. As Brooks is still looking for a way to create a name for himself. However, poking the bear may not have been the best idea. According to Sharpe, especially when your talent doesn’t match your words. “Dillion Brooks is competing with himself. He’s trying to make a name for himself by talking, but at some point your game has to do the walking.”

Shannon Sharpe Believes Brooks Wasn’t Only Issue For Grizzlies

The Grizzlies had a very interesting season. The franchise had one of the better regular seasons in the organization’s history. However, off-the-court issues hindered the team from the beginning. Ja Morant continues to deal with legal issues stemming from incidents away from the game. While Brooks may have opened up a can of worms, he may not have wanted. He may argue it, but Brooks has built a reputation as a trash-talker on the court. However, being known as that player isn’t always easy.

The lights were bright, and the Grizzlies were ready to be in the dark. It felt similar to the way the Sacramento Kings were eliminated. A young team that wasn’t ready for the moment. However, the entire series could be a great learning tool for a team that should be looking to prove a point. Whatever the case may be, the Grizzlies learned to respect their elders this post-season. Do you agree with Shannon Sharpe’s statements on Brooks and how he handled the series? Let us know what you think in the comment section. For the latest NBA news, keep it right here with HNHH.

Shannon Sharpe Reacts To Carolina Panthers First Pick

Shannon Sharpe knows what a successful NFL player might look like. Sharpe was a part of multiple Super Bowl-winning teams. As well as being one of the greatest tight ends to ever play the game. Now, the NFL legend is most notably known for delivering hot takes with Skip Bayless on Undisputed. However, that doesn’t mean that Sharpe’s football knowledge should be slighted. On Friday’s edition of the show, the hosts discussed their feelings on the selections of round one.

Sharpe believes the Carolina Panthers have hit a home run with their selection of Bryce Young. The Alabama star was the consensus first pick for the last couple of weeks. After last night, it finally became official. Sharpe, like the Panthers, believes that Young has all the skills to have a successful career. “If you watch this kid play he has it all: touch, velocity, ability to beat you inside & outside the pocket. The ceiling is the Super Bowl.” Sharpe had high praise for the former Heisman winner.

Shannon Sharpe Believes Super Bowl Is Ceiling For Young

Young’s selection wasn’t much of a secret as the draft slowly moved forward. However, the rest of the quarterbacks in the draft were uncertain about their future. But C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson didn’t have to wait long to hear their names called. Stroud was selected second overall by the Houston Texans. As Richardson found his home with the Indianapolis Colts fourth pick. However, not every quarterback got the good news of where they would play next season.

Kentucky quarterback Will Levis did not get selected in the first round on Thursday. Which doesn’t come as a surprise for many around the league. Including Sharpe, who earlier this week didn’t see the rising hype in Levis. Now Levis will have to wait to hear his name in the second round. As for Young, he will be arriving in Carolina this weekend to begin his work at turning around the franchise. Do you agree with Shannon Sharpe on the talents of Young?

Shannon Sharpe On Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Failure Comments

Shannon Sharpe is just one of many discussing the comments made by Giannis Antetokounmpo on Wednesday night. Giannis was asked if this season has become a failure for his Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks were eliminated by the Miami Heat on Wednesday. The series victory for the Heat is a massive upset. As the Bucks were the number-one seed in the Eastern Conference. However, Giannis doesn’t see this season as a failure at all. But that may not be the case for everyone else.

On Thursday’s edition of Undisputed, Sharpe, and co-host Skip Bayless discussed if Giannis had a point with his comments. While Sharpe let the audience know he doesn’t believe Giannis is a failure. However, the former NFL tight end does believe the team became a failure this season. Sharpe points to how the Bucks lost to a team that barely made the playoffs. It took two play-in games for the Heat to earn the right to a playoff berth. Check out Sharpe’s full comments in the video below.

Shannon Sharpe Calls Bucks Season Failure

Giannis had every reason to be frustrated after last night’s loss. However, saying the season didn’t end in a failure would seem oblivious. A number-one seed losing in the first round of any playoff series is rare. So when it does happen, the one seed that becomes a part of history takes major heat. However, the Bucks did deal with a massive injury during the series. Giannis basically missed two games after being injured during Game One.

The 2022-23 season for the Bucks will go down as a failure. There’s no other way to look at it. However, that doesn’t mean that the players on the team are failures. A point that Sharpe wanted to make during the discussion. Athletes have long claimed that failure is a great learning opportunity. The Bucks should realize that this is a failure. However, that doesn’t mean it’s the end of everything. Do you agree with Shannon Sharpe that the Bucks season is ultimately a failure? Let us know in the comment section.

Steve Harvey Once Had Just $1700 Left In His Bank Account

Everyone knows Steve Harvey. The comedian and television host has anchored some of the biggest game shows, as well as having numerous iterations of his own show. He is a shining example of success across comedy, television, and even advice-giving spaces.

He has had a long, and successful career and presumably made a lot of money. His net worth is reportedly somewhere in the range of $200 million. However, Harvey has recently revealed a story about a time when his bank account was barely in the thousands. Furthermore, this was not a story about his early years, but instead from one of the highs of his career.

Divorce And Shady Accounting Cost Harvey Millions

Speaking on Shannon Sharpe’s Club ShayShay podcast, Harvey revealed the set of circumstances that led to him having just $1700 in the bank. According to Sharpe, this occurred in 2005. “It’s called a divorce, man,” Harvey began, “But I got jumped on even before the divorce. I’m gonna say who did it, but they go in cahoots with my financial planner and I was writing checks to the government for seven years, in tax checks. Filling in the tax checks, giving them to be turned in, and they was keeping them. They was taking the money from the account like I was paying taxes, and keeping it for theyself.” He only found out when “My accountant passed and a lady went into the offices and found a box on the floor… I’m thinking I’m even but my lawyer says to me ‘you haven’t paid taxes in seven years’.”

However, things went from bad to worse for Harvey. “I had saved some millions but before I split the assets, she [Harvey’s second wife Mary Shackleford] went into the account and removed it. The divorce was over, and it’s like let’s split the assets, well you took all the assets. And I was stuck with this tax bill. I had to pay seven years of back taxes with interest. I was in a world of trouble, man. I looked up and I had $1700.” However, things would turn around in the coming years, with a stand-up special, a book, and eventually, Family Feud in 2010. Regardless, it just goes to show that no one is ever as well off as you think they are.
