Shaquille O’Neal, known for his robust nature on and off the court, is no stranger to party life. The NBA star-turned-DJ turned up in Vegas for the Super Bowl weekend.
While he got his chance to meet Taylor Swift, things have now taken an unpleasant turn for the 7’11” legend. Certainly for the fans, Shaq O’Neal going after Kanye West after SB was not on the cards.
NBA fans are confused over Shaquille O’Neal and Kanye West’s latest beef
Recently, rapper Kanye West showered Dov Charney with appreciation on X for helping him in his tough time. The post received a comment from 4-time NBA champion and a living legend Shaquille O’Neal. Criticizing the post, Shaq said that nobody cares about West’s “b****in and snitchin” and that he was being a “lil boy” who should “man up.”
Later, it was deleted, but one of the fans took a screenshot of it, which read, “Who cares stop B—– and snitchin. i kno u saw me at the Super Bowl i was waiting for u to say something smart. man up. nobody wanna see u cryin man up lil boy”.
The fans did not see it coming out of the blue and were somewhat puzzled. Some fans also started polls and picked sides. Here are some of the reactions of the fans:
“Shaq trying to recover from the lows of getting rejected by icy spicy.”
“Shaq took his first life L”
“Since when does Shaq and Ye have issues. This seems so random”
This is not the first time that the two have indulged in an online fight.
Shaquille O’Neal was previously exposed by Kanye West
The online beef of Lakers great Shaquille O’Neal and Kanye West dates back to 2022. The Brooklyn Nets’ Kyrie Irving had promoted an anti-Semitic film for which Shaq called him an “idiot.” The guard later apologized in his statement with the Anti-Defamation League. Kanye West, who was also involved in another anti-Semitic controversy, posted Irving’s deleted post showing that he supported it and pulled Shaq into it.
The hooper did not hold back and said on Twitter, “Believe me you don’t know me like that. Worry about your business, and to quote the once great Kanye west “ I got more money than you, so why would i listen to you” take my advice get your family business in order. Have a great day brother.”
He might have ended that online fight there but warned West in the following interviews. He even said that he is behaving in a “classy” way because of his mother otherwise he would have been reckless with the “narcissistic” rapper Kanye West.
Fortunately the scwable was limited to social media and did not spill out to a face-to-face confrontation, cause when Shaq gets angry we know what happens.
