Last month, retired NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe stepped down from his position at ESPN after he was sued for sexual assault in April.
Now Shannon is postponing a promo tour for his popular “Nightcap” podcast due to low ticket sales. According to a report, the “Club Shay Shay” host announced the postponement of Nightcap’s scheduled “NSFW Tour” this summer.
“We’ve decided to postpone the Nightcap tour,” Shannon said during his livestream alongside co-host Ochocinco. “We look forward to seeing you guys in the summer of 2026. It’s going to be even bigger, even better. But Ocho and I have come to the conclusion that this is the best thing as of right now, was to postpone the tour. We look forward to seeing each and every one of you in 2026.”
The 8-city tour was scheduled to kick off on June 13 in Baltimore. The postponement follows a $50 million lawsuit filed by a “Jane Doe” in April.
The woman accused Shannon of sexual battery, assault and rape. In her lawsuit, the woman said she met the NFL legend at a gym when she was 19.
Shannon removed the tour info from his Shay Shay Media website on Monday morning. The tour was a follow-up to the Nightcap’s successful 2024 tour.
