Right after the epic rap battle between Canada's Drake and Compton's Kendrick Lamar, another unexpected beef has emerged between two heavyweights. Shaquille "Big Diesel" O'Neal has taken a dig at Shannon "Shay Shay" Sharpe on a song he released on May 10th.
According to The New York Post, this feud started after Denver Nuggets' center, Nikola Jokic, won the NBA's Most Valuable Player award for the third time in four seasons. When Shaq spoke to Jokic on a recent episode of TNT's "Inside the NBA," he congratulated him as the president of the Big Man Alliance, but also stated that he believed Oklahoma Thunder's point guard, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, deserved the award more.
Sharpe, on his podcast "Nightcap," discussed this situation with Chad Johnson and Gilbert Arenas, and shared his thoughts on Shaq's jealousy towards Jokic for earning his third MVP award while Shaq himself only has one.
"Shaq is never brought up in [GOAT conversations], and I think a part of him is envious of that," Sharpe said.
This prompted Shaq to respond on social media, expressing his disappointment in Sharpe calling him jealous. He wrote on his Instagram, "If you ain't ranked in the top ten in your profession, then you can't speak on me. Don't forget, I know what you did to get where you're at. Me, jealous? Sounds like you're the one who's jealous. I know you're trying to stay relevant by gossiping on your podcast."
But Shaq didn't stop there. He also wrote a rap dissing Sharpe and posted it just a day later. In the rap, he also mentions that he will not entertain the idea of having a sit-down with Sharpe, even if they have mutual acquaintances.
It's clear that this beef between two sports legends is far from over, and fans are eagerly waiting to see how it unfolds in the coming days.
