Club Shay Shay - David Banner part 2

Welcome back to part 2 of our conversation with David Banner!

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Club Shay Shay, Shannon Sharpe sits down with Grammy-nominated rapper, producer, actor, and cultural thought leader David Banner for a raw, vulnerable, and wide-ranging conversation. From his roots in Jackson, Mississippi, to his rise as a pioneer of Southern hip-hop and a visionary in media and activism, Banner opens up like never before.

From selling mixtapes at Kroger’s to producing hits for T.I., Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Maroon 5, and more, Banner recounts his rise in the music industry and the painful realization that fame isn’t what it seems.

He reflects on how hip-hop wasn’t just an escape, but an education and empowerment. Inspired by Brand Nubian and The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Banner stopped eating pork in the 8th grade and began a lifelong journey toward purpose and spiritual grounding. “Rap taught me something,” he says, recalling how music, and later, therapy, helped him confront childhood trauma, grief, and the weight of being a voice for the people.

Banner speaks candidly about battling depression, the heartbreak of the music industry, and the painful realization that fame is often a lie. “I loved music, and music broke my heart,” he admits. But instead of folding, he evolved. Now the CEO of Banner Vision, he’s produced campaigns for Gatorade, Disney, Marvel, and acting in films —playing a god in an upcoming superhero movie. His mission? Use his platform to rebuild what the industry won’t.

He opens up about his faith, his genius-level reading skills as a child, and how Samuel L. Jackson gave him life-changing acting lessons on the set of Black Snake Moan. He reflects on his HBCU experience at Southern University, corporate racism, tough conversations, politics, and even why he built his grandmother a house as the first thing he did with his music money.

From deep conversations with Erykah Badu and LL Cool J, to producing "Rubberband Man" and learning from Jay-Z, to giving insight on Nelly’s “Tip Drill” and the truth about how money is made in music, this episode is a masterclass in growth, purpose, and legacy.

He challenges peers to invest in their communities: “I invest in me. I put my money back into what I stand for.” He shares wisdom passed down from his father and lessons from losing friends to gang violence.

The conversation digs deep into spirituality, accountability, masculinity, and systemic racism in both America and corporate culture. Banner pulls no punches: “Hollywood is no different from America. The police just took the hoods off.” He urges honesty in our communities and calls for an end to performative shock when abusers or injustices come to light.

In one of the most moving moments, Banner opens up about being tired, not just physically, but emotionally, from pouring so much into Black culture.He honors his hero, Ice Cube, and praises Ryan Coogler and the movie Sinners for reconnecting African Americans with lost spirituality, and celebrates Shannon Sharpe for defying the odds and doing it his way. “You’re the only one who did it the way you did. You showed the world what country really means.”

As the episode closes, Banner leaves us with this charge: “Just shoot it. Keep clicking, keep believing. God conspires with those who believe.” Whether he’s talking to LL Cool J, scoring for T.I., or building legacy from the South to the screen, David Banner is proof that faith, fight, and freedom are the true measures of success.

This is an episode that you don’t want to miss!
