NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal took aim at Kanye West after the rapper shared a post on social media praising Canadian entrepreneur Dov Charney for seemingly giving him assistance when he needed help.
In the post’s comment section, O’Neal slammed West, telling him to “man up” and stop “b—–” and “snitchin.”
Shaquille O’Neal Calls Out Kanye West
O’Neal didn’t mince his words when he came for rapper West after he shared a post praising people who assisted him in his time of need.
West wrote: “DOV CHARNEY IS MY BROTHER AND ME AND MY WIFE’S BUSINESS PARTNER WHEN JAMIE SALTER AND EVERYONE ELSE WOULDN’T TAKE MY CALLS HE LET ME SLEEP AT HIS FACTORY DOV CHARNEY JONAH HILL AND JON RAFMAN ARE 3 PEOPLE WHO INSPIRED MY APOLOGY.”
O’Neal clearly didn’t like the post as he slammed West, calling him a “lil boy.”
“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,” O’Neal said. He deleted the comment shortly after.
The two celebrities were present for the 2024 Super Bowl but did not cross paths. During the game, O’Neal achieved his dream of meeting the West’s music rival, Taylor Swift.

Prior to the game, he talked about hoping to meet Swift, saying, “I just want to shake the hand of greatness.”
West and O’Neal have butted heads in the past when the rapper criticized the NBA legend for his business relationship with Jamie Salter amid the Kyrie Irving anti-Semitism scandal. At the time, O’Neal told West, “Believe me you don’t know me like that. Worry about your business…”
Fans Shocked At Kanye West And Shaquille O’Neal’s Feud
Fans were taken aback by O’Neal’s comments, with many wondering when the two of them started having beef with each other.
A fan asked, “Since when does Shaq have beef with Kanye???” A second person said, “LMAO, not Shaq telling Kanye to stop crying. He’s so real for that.”
Another person claimed, “Kanye has mentioned Shaq when he told about the sacrifice of his mum and all those Illuminati things, so i guess Shaq [doesn’t] like him very much.”
“Shaq Vs Kanye beef is not [something] I expected in 2024,” said a fourth person.
Some fans slammed Shaq for deleting the comment, saying it made him look like the one “b——.”
A fan wrote, “If bro posting and deleting then he the one b—– [not gonna lie].”
The Rapper Opened Up About His Financial Struggles After Anti-Semitism Scandal
The rapper recently got candid about his financial issues after being dropped by a plethora of brands due to his anti-Semitic comments.
He revealed that he was just “two months away” from filing for bankruptcy after being dropped by Adidas. The shoe company cut ties with West’s Yeezy company, which cost him $2 billion and his billionaire status.
During an interview, the “All of the Lights” rapper shared that he put “everything [he] had” into his Yeezy Super Bowl ad for the brand’s new collection and his latest album, “Vultures,” volume 1.
West explained that when the financial blowback from his anti-Semitism began, he decided to leave America with his new wife, 2-year-old model Bianca Censori.
“We moved to Italy. We moved to the factories, and we survived. We survived through the cancellation. We’re back number one,” West bragged.
He also revealed that his clothing company generated $19.3 million from the Super Bowl ad and that “Vultures” was dominating the charts in 100 countries.
When questioned on whether the “anti-Semitism” scandal “helped” him, West said, “It wasn’t about the controversy. It was about being able to say how you felt out loud.”
