NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal once spoke about Kanye West and Kim Kardashian on his ‘Big Podcast with Shaq’
Messy family drama is not new territory for Shaquille O’Neal.
Drafted in 1992, Shaq played in the NBA for 19 seasons.
During that time, Big Diesel established his name as one of the most dominant players in league history. The 7’1, 325 pound big man won 4 NBA championships during his career.
He played alongside some of the best known players in the game, including Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade.
Thanks to his brilliance on the court, Shaq earned $292 million from the NBA. Using that and smart business decisions, O’Neal created a net worth of more than $400 million.
While Shaq’s life sounds like an overall success, there is one thing where he took a significant hit. His family life.
The great man married Shaunie O’Neal in 2002. Together, they had four children and a total of six children. However, the two broke up in 2009, thanks to Shaq’s infidelity. Shaq recently declined to comment on Ime Udoka’s situation for the same reason.

Shaquille O’Neal had strong words for Kanye West regarding his situation with Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West had one of the ugliest breakups in recent memory. In case you don’t know about the same, let me briefly recap. The couple separated in February 2021. It was decided that they would share custody of their children. However, the same did not happen and Kanye began posting about her problems and what Kim was doing on social networks. Things came to a head when Kim was dating comedian Pete Davidson.
In January, on an episode of ‘The Big Podcast’, Shaq decided to talk about the same thing. He said,
“That’s what happens when you put your whole business on social media, so I don’t want to hear about it right now. Don’t try to clean it now, because you started it. When you give your information to a million people, you’re going to have a million different metababies coming out of what they thought they just saw. I don’t want to hear that it’s a narrative, that’s the narrative you’re posting. You got a problem, stay with the problem [to yourself]. I don’t want to hear that, and I don’t feel sorry for all these people coming onto social media.” (via CinemaBlend)

Shaq was not wrong in his comments. Things would have moved better between the two sides if West had decided to do things behind closed doors, instead of airing his dirty laundry on social media.
However, if the rapper is to be believed, he tried the same thing and it didn’t work out, leaving him no choice but to do the same.
