"That’s what happens when you put all your business on social media" - Shaquille O'Neal on Kanye West's parenting problems with Kim Kardashian
LA Lakers legend and Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal has chimed in on the recent Kanye West viral video where he called out Kim Kardashian for not inviting him to their daughter Chicago's birthday party. In the most recent episode of "The Big Podcast", O'Neal said he does not feel sorry for West.
The 49-year-old former NBA star said that celebrities should not put their personal problems on social media, which often leads to lot of opinions, good or bad.
"That’s what happens when you put all your business on social media, so I don’t want to hear it now. Don’t try to clean it up now, because you started it. When you give your information to a million people, you’re going to have a million different meta babies coming out on what they thought they just saw," O'Neal said.
"I don’t want to hear it’s a narrative; that’s the narrative that you’re putting out. You got a proble;, keep the problem. I don’t want to hear that, and I don’t feel sorry for all these people getting on social media," O'Neal added.
