"He's become a billionaire with AIDS" - Marlon Wayans leaves Shaquille O'Neal in stitches with hilarious Magic Johnson joke

Comedian Marlon Wayans told a Magic Johnson joke in his appearance at "The Big Pod" podcast, which left Shaquille O'Neal in tears laughing. On the new episode of the podcast released on Thursday, Shaq and Adam Lefkoe brought the veteran comedian as their first guest since returning from a break.

During the episode, the "White Chicks" star didn't hold back with his joke about the LA Lakers legend. The comedian shared that he often wants fresh jokes and doesn't repeat anything he's said or joked about.

Wayans mentioned that if he had his Shaq and Magic jokes, he'd be good for the set. This led the former NBA star to ask the comic about what his joke about the former Showtime Lakers star was.

"I just said he had the good AIDS," Wayans said. "What AIDS you get where you live 50 years? I want those AIDS. He's become a billionaire with AIDS. Give me those AIDS. What kind of AIDS is this, financial AIDS?"

His joke about Johnson started at the 24:38 mark.

His joke made O'Neal laugh so hard that the four-time NBA champion had to ask Wayans to stop talking. Eventually, he stopped and said he hoped he wouldn't bump into Johnson soon.

Shaquille O'Neal's former teammate told Wayans to stop making fun of Pau Gasol

Wayans isn't the biggest Lakers fan, but he had the chance to watch the team up close. In his guest appearance at Shaquille O'Neal's podcast, he shared that he had a unique interaction with the late Kobe Bryant.

The comedian shared that he was watching the game from the sidelines and was making fun of Pau Gasol. Gasol was quite new to the team at the time and the Lakers were trying to contend with the newly formed duo of him and Bryant.

"I was cracking jokes with Pau Gasol, saying he looked like an ostrich that got pushed into an oil spill," Wayans said laughing. "I was cracking all these jokes with him and Kobe [Bryant] just turned. He said, 'Yo, chill. That may be my next ring.' And I was like, 'Alright, cool, cool.'"

Wayans shared that Bryant was laughing with the comedian at that time because of his jokes. But the comic stopped making fun of the Spanish star.

As it turned out, Gasol helped Bryant win his fourth and fifth championships. The Lakers became a dynasty once again with the Hall of Fame forward and became a close friend of the Black Mamba.
