Last Sunday, for the Super Bowl, many stars were in the stands at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. While the event was becoming a festive moment, Shaquille O’Neal took the opportunity to settle the score with Kanye West.
This Sunday, February 11, the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the San Francisco 49ers for the 58th edition of the Super Bowl. In the end, it was Patrick Mahomes and his team that were able to celebrate the coronation at California’s expense. Like every year, the event was presented as a big spectacle hosted by the NFL, and some big celebrities came to attend.
This is the case of an artist who has been praised by critics as controversial as he is in the person of Kanye West. And anyone who says ‘ye around’ inevitably means controversy. Although he stayed in his seat during the match, the rapper was more vocal after the evening was over on social media. Indeed, he insisted on clearing his case, but his comments apparently did not go down well Shaquille O’Neal.

Shaq responded to Kanye on Instagram and quickly deleted his comment
Kanye West : Dov Charney is my brother and my wife and I’s partner. And when no one, not even Jamie Salter, answered my phone, he let me sleep in his factory. Dov Charney, Jonah Hill, and Jon Rafman are the people who inspired my apology letter.
Shaquille O’Neal : No one cares, no one cares. Stop acting like a child and telling people. I know you saw me at the Super Bowl, I was expecting you to say something smart. Keep your head up, man. No one wants to see you cry. Act like a man and not like a little boy.
This isn’t the first time the singer has run into trouble with athletes in the league, active or not. A few years ago, she accused Chris Paul of having an affair with Kim Kardashian, while she and the media personality were still married. This time, it was the Lakers legend’s anger that he provoked, as he would have snapped at him during the meeting.
The Super Bowl was supposed to create a moment of dialogue between viewers. Despite everything, Kanye West chose to spit his venom on certain people around him on Instagram, which Shaquille O’Neal obviously didn’t appreciate.
