Kanye West aired out Shaquille O’Neal’s business on Twitter, but quickly found himself getting dunked on by the four-time NBA champion.
Ye came to Kyrie Irving’s defense on Thursday (November 3) after Shaq called the Brooklyn Nets star an “idiot” for sharing an anti-Semitic documentary on social media.
In response, Kanye called out Shaq for being in business with Jewish billionaire Jamie Salter. The Los Angeles Lakers legend is the second largest individual shareholder of Salter’s Authentic Brands Group, which owns Forever 21, Barneys New York, JCPenney and Reebok.
“They make us bully ourselves because of our business alignments,” Kanye tweeted. “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.'”
Ye continued: “Jamie then said he’s actually got the 51 percent on both those deals. We as the creators and talent get so caught up in our vanity that we don’t read or understand the fine print. Like Dave Chapelle said, we need to stop giving up control over our own names and our likeness.”
An hour later, Shaquille O’Neal responded to Kanye West by telling him he’s uninformed and advising him to focus on repairing his “family business,” possibly referencing the College Dropout track.
Shaq also turned Ye’s recent quote, “I’m not gonna argue with people that are broker than me about money,” back on the rapper while flexing his reported $400 million net worth.
“@kanyewest Believe me you don’t know me like that,” he wrote. “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.”
The controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving stemmed from him posting a link to Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America!, a film allegedly containing anti-Semitic tropes. Shaquille O’Neal condemned Irving on TNT on Tuesday (November 1).
“I can tell he’s not conscious, he doesn’t really care about what’s going on,” he said. “But us, I know that the game that we used to love and we promote, it brings people together. And it hurts me sometimes when we have to sit up here and talk about stuff that divides the game. Now, we gotta answer for what this idiot has done.”
He added: “I stand for equality of all people. I’ve always been like that, don’t matter what religion, don’t matter where you’re from.”
Kyrie Irving was suspended for five games by the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday (November 3) after defending his decision to promote the documentary, before he ultimately issued an apology on Instagram
“To All Jewish families and Communities that are hurt and affected from my post, I am deeply sorry to have caused you pain, and I apologize,” he wrote. “I initially reacted out of emotion to being unjustly labeled Anti-Semitic, instead of focusing on the healing process of my Jewish Brothers and Sisters that were hurt from the hateful remarks made in the Documentary.”
He continued: “I had no intentions to disrespect any Jewish cultural history regarding the Holocaust or perpetuate any hate. I am learning from this unfortunate event and hope we can find understanding between us all.”
Kanye kinda lost me with this one. Doesnt he know that in America Jewish is a religion, not a race ? In America, they are considered white, especially if they dont follow the religon.
But they claim heritage rights as a real Jew not just adopting the religion they think they can assimilate into our bloodline by adopting our true religion which is false. They are wicked Satanist do your research.
First off, at least for now anyway, Shaq and Ye are the same net worth
The difference is Kanye is a total douche bag and Shaw is not.
How is a business 50/50 if all the deals are 51 49 … thats what he is saying … that one percent gives you control.
2nd, Ye is willing to put his wealth on the line because of many people like his, lil Wayne’s, Big Sean, and Dave Chapelle’s situations but MOST won’t speak up while also crying about speaking out against injustices
thats nice until you keep biting the hand that fed you and helped get you where your at. and kanye has jewish friends but no one seems to think about that….
FYI.. celebrity net worth is based on KNOWN business ventures and information their team leaks to Forbes. Plenty of celebrities make millions on the that’s why some people pop up on the list outta nowhere.
so ye goes at the israelites and everyone is on him. where were these people when they misconstrued his words of “blacks gotta be democrats” or “slavory is a choice.” both of those are true. if u buy true religion jeans and ur kids are still eating ramen noodles. rims on ur van instead of rent. you are a damn slave.

Shaq loses on this one. He’s using one of their most reliable strategies. He’s attacking Ye the person when the discussion is about his opinion not about his family. He did the same with K Irving. If he is so well informed he could’ve easily debunk their theories but he couldn’t. He called Kyrie and idiot. When Kanye put shaqs info out he could only respond with mind your business
no
Shaq has totally sold out to our people and he’s going to suffer in the Black community for sacrificing his loyalty to those who are our enemies. All those dudes are paid by the Machine so like Damon Wayans’ standup he fits the puppet label perfect
Shaq was also in business with Pap John’s 🤔
all these so called …. afraid to upset they paymasters this is hilarious I love ya shaq but youll sell anything for a check
all these so called . afraid to upset they paym asters its hilarious I love ya shaq but its obvious ull sell anything 4 a check
My aunt said do these rich black people know who they really are abd know where they come from. The government knows who we are. God chose the Hebrews, black Hebrews. There were no white people at the time. Black people came on ships like the Bible says, not Jewish people.
Your aunt says to stop posting the same fucking thing over and over

Your aunt is a dumb pig who believes in fairytales.
God has woolly hair, not hazel eyes, and burnt skin.
Like the great Bob Marley once said “Keep your culture! Don’t be afraid of the vulture!”
