Shannon Sharpe's Priceless Reaction After Paparazzi Ignored Him For Selena Gomez

• Shannon Sharpe was being interviewed by the paparazzi outside a restaurant when Selena Gomez walked by

• The paparazzi cut Shannon Sharpe off mid-sentence to get pictures of Selena Gomez and talk to her

• Shannon Sharpe hilariously reacted saying he would have asked for her autograph after the clip went viral

Shannon Sharpe has become one of the most recognizable faces in sports media in the last few years. His fame has skyrocketed even further since he joined Stephen A. Smith on First Take. So it's no surprise he is hassled by the paparazzi at times. 

He had a unique experience on Thursday night though. As he was talking to the paparazzi, Selena Gomez walked by, leading to him being completely ignored. He acknowledged the clip on social media with a brilliant reaction. 

"Had I realized it was her. I ABSOLUTELY would've asked her 4 a pic," Sharpe posted on X in response to the viral clip. 

Even right after the encounter, when the paparazzi returned to him, Sharpe didn't seem hurt, simply telling him, "Nah bruh, you good!"

Shannon Sharpe might have become a celebrity in his own right, but he will always come second to an international pop star like Selena Gomez. 

In statistical terms, Selena Gomez has 429 million Instagram followers compared to Sharpe's 2.8 million, so the choice from the paparazzi is just business, nothing personal.

Shannon Sharpe Said He Can't Name A Single Selena Gomez Song And Refused To Shoot His Shot At Her

Many people in the media business would be offended if someone walked away mid-sentence to go and chase another star. But Shannon Sharpe understands the game, and he broke down the Selena Gomez clip further on his podcast. 

"When I got there, I saw like one or two paparazzi," Sharpe said. "I think she saw me leave and then her team told her, 'This will be our opportunity because they'll probably get him.' If I'd have known it was her, I'd have said, 'Ma'am, can I get a picture?'"

Despite this, Sharpe insisted he can't name a single Selena Gomez song. He said, "I don't know what she does... I know she's a singer."

When asked to name one of her songs he added, "Hell, I could barely name her. I just found out this morning that's Selena Gomez. What the hell you mean, 'Name a song,' I can barely name her.

Shannon Sharpe hilariously refused a chance to shoot his shot with Selena Gomez after he said all this as well. Despite this chance encounter going viral, it seems Unc isn't interested in getting to know Gomez too well.
