Shaquille O’Neal is known for his blunt comments and humorous criticisms of players throughout the NBA. However, his words were taken to notable rapper Kanye West following Sunday’s Super Bowl. Following an interaction, or rather a lack thereof, Shaq accused Kanye of ducking him at the game in a recently deleted comment.
What led Shaq to call out Ye
This past weekend, the National Football League had its championship game, the Super Bowl, in Las Vegas, which prompted many stars to come out to the game. Among the stars was Taylor Swift, who got much national attention from the broadcast, though other notable figures were amongst the fans as well.
NBA Hall-of-Famer Shaquille O’Neal was one of them. He and many others came to the Allegiant Stadium to watch the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in overtime, 25-22. However, the experience wasn’t all pleasant for Big Diesel, as he was upset with a famous rapper.
At the game, West ignored Shaq or chose not to speak to him, which Shaq took to Instagram to address. In a recent post from Ye, he called out the rapper in a comment which was later deleted.
