Mase has responded to Shannon Sharpe calling him a gangster Pastor and it’s getting messy as Mase cautioned Shannon to choose his words carefully when it comes to reacting to his issues.
This is what Mase had to say in the latest episode of “It Is What It Is” with co-host Cam’ron and mediator Treasure Wilson.
“Your boy chose to target me about the sets and the working out, and all that, he called me a fake pastor and all that,” Mase said with a laugh. “I don’t wanna say his name… When we were talking about the dips and the sets and all of that, and Mike Epps.”
What happened to that church Mase was pastoring?

Cam caught on to whom Mase was alluding to, with the rapper referencing Sharpe’s recently squashed beef with Mike Epps. “Oh, Shannon said something to you?” asked Cam. “He called me a fake pastor,” Mase replied with a laugh. “I wanted to tell him… Listen, Shannon. I’m not the one to play with. Matter of fact, I’m not even going to take that road, I’m going to take a different road with you. Listen, let me start with respect and let me end with class, okay? You started out being very aggressive with Ja Morant’s pops at a Laker game. If you are for Black people, this is not the way to carry yourself.”
He then shifted his attention to the recent back and forth with Epps, which didn’t last very long because the two crushed it within a week. “You wanted to be tough with Mike Epps and you settled quicker than Diddy and Cassie,” he said. “You want to be aggressive with me, right? Listen, you showed poise, respect, wherewithal, resolve, compassion, reverence for Skip Bayless, why are you so aggressive anytime somebody Black say something? The man said, ‘Put your glasses on!’ And you put your glasses back on! Don’t play with me, put your glasses back on, Shannon.”
Mase and Cam'ron react to Shannon Sharpe and Mike Epps now resolved beef, with Mase saying it was a smart decision when Mike Epps threatened to shoot Shannon Sharpe rather than fighting him.

He stressed, however, that he does not want to escalate to a feud with Sharpe. “I respect you and I do not want to go there with you,” he said. “We might gotta call up big homie Stephen A. Smith to resolve this, man,” Cam added.
“He made a statement about me being a fake gangster, it didn’t really, pause, rub me the wrong way,” Mase continued. “As a Disney client, gangster is not something to talk about. So let’s just leave that out. … I would tell him, even for your spiritual comment, that was ignorant because if you know anything about faith, all the people that were apostles and pastors, they died horrific deaths. … So it’s as gangster as you could be when it talks about doing for others and being tough, so you just need to be educated, you know?”
He also suggested that Sharpe “singled” him out, assumedly because he thinks Cam is “tough” but he’s not. “I’m really like that,” he laughed. “I just took a different path, sir. God bless.”
Now let’s see how Shannon Sharpe also reacts to Mase cautioning him to be mindful of his choice of words when it comes to addressing his issues.
