Yung Miami can’t stop laughing over Shannon Sharpe’s attempt to hook her up with ‘Christian’ CJ Stroud

CJ Stroud’s name unexpectedly came up when Shannon Sharpe interviewed Caresha Romeka Brownlee, popularly known by her rapper identity Yung Miami, recently. The Hall of Fame tight end asked Miami/Brownlee if she had ever dated an athlete before. She denied it, but kept the door open to a future relationship with one.

Miami then counter-questioned Sharpe. She asked to pair her with an athlete of his choice, preferably an NFL quarterback, because they win more MVPs than any other position. However, Sharpe argued that it’s hard to find a quarterback who is single in the NFL because most of them tend to settle down with their partner right after signing their professional contract.

After a brief pause to think of a name, the 3x Super Bowl winner pulled a rabbit out of his bag.

You know CJ Stroud? Star quarterback for the Houston Texans?

Shannon Sharpe asked Yung Miami

Miami quickly retorted with the suggestion. She asked why Sharpe zoned in on Stroud of all the quarterbacks in the NFL. Sharpe’s voice broke after hearing the question.

I damn you to ask me ‘Why you go CJ Stroud’ right after you asked me to hook you up; now you say ‘Why him?’

Shannon Sharpe said

Yung Miami replied, “Because he is a Christian.” Sharpe’s unexpected counter brought a laugh out of everyone present in the studio. “You might can change it,” Shannon Sharpe said.

Yung Miami and Diddy

The reason lies behind Miami’s background and the person she previously dated. Miami/Brownlee dated Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, but to this day hardly anyone knows when the two met and began seeing each other.

While People Magazine suspects that Diddy and Miami’s relationship started in 2021, their fans had to wait until 2022 to receive an official confirmation. The pair showed up to several award shows and A-list VIP events, but love experts noticed a lack of chemistry between the couple. Fans’ suspicion grew after Miami that they weren’t exclusive after all.

We are dating. We single, but we’re dating. People don’t know what dating means. He’s single, I’m single, but we’re dating.

Yung Miami had said then

In 2023, Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura, filed a case against Diddy for physical torture and s**ual abuse. Even though Diddy’s lawyers managed to nip the case in the bud when producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones filed another lawsuit, Miami found herself a part of it. Jones claimed Miami trafficked illegal substances for Diddy. It’s an active lawsuit, but Miami hasn’t spoken a word on it.

What do CJ Stroud’s religious beliefs have to do with Miami potentially hooking up with him?

Born to Coleridge and Kimberly Stroud in Cucamonga, California, he grew up in a Christian environment and was endowed with the teachings of the Church and Bible. He often recites verses before or after a game.

Back in January 2024, Stroud and the Texans defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars to clinch a playoff spot. ESPN’s Jane Slater interviewed him, and Stroud began with, “It’s a blessing. I can’t do nothing but just thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I’m just blessed enough to be the vessel that Christ picked to lead this great franchise, so I could do nothing but just thank the Lord.”

The 22-year-old, during a chat with the Sports Spectrum, revealed he was trying to cut down on cursing because a true Christian never uses swear words.

I am struggling with curse words right now; I am trying to stop and trying to hold back cause not only am I trying to do it for myself but also like I can’t proclaim that I also love God and have a wild mouth—that doesn’t make sense to me; it’s hypocritical.

CJ Stroud said

To quell his bad habit, he reads verses from James III’s Bible.

Even though Yung Miami’s involvement in Diddy’s lawsuit hasn’t been proven yet, her shady past might fend off a devout Christian like Stroud. So she seemed genuinely surprised when Sharpe mentioned the former Ohio State quarterback’s name as her potential dating partner.
