Four-time NBA champion Shaquille O'Neal was one of the few basketball stars, who condemned Brooklyn Nets star guard Kyrie Irving for his promotion of an anti-Semitic film on Twitter. The Nets suspended Irving following his refusal to apologize publicly and controversial rapper Kanye West, now known as 'Ye' has stirred another controversy following the 30-year-old's suspension.
Shaquille O'Neal, who condemned Irving and called him an 'idiot' over his anti-Semitic movie promotion, has revealed a business partnership with Jewish American billionaire Jamie Salter and Ye wasted no time to attack the former NBA star on Twitter.
Kanye West posted many controversial post on Instagram leading the social networking service to suspend the rapper's account. The 21 Grammy Awards winner took to Twitter to spread anti-Semitic hate speech and targeted Shaq and Salter.
Shaq slams Kanye West on Twitter
He wrote, "Shaq is in business with Jamie Salter. Jaimie first said he’s 50/50 with David Beckham and 50/50 with Shaq. I said 'Jamie . . . There’s no such thing as 50/50 in business . . . Who has the extra 1 percent for the control and voting rights'."
However, the Diesel didn't hold back and used Ye's old quote to slam the rapper on Twitter, reminding his $400 million net worth. Shaq replied, "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."
After Brooklyn Nets announced Kyrie Irving's indefinite suspension on Thursday, the seven-time NBA All-Star has issued an apology on his Instagram account.
