Shaquille O'Neal talks about the diss track he made about Shannon Sharpe

​

When the 2024 NBA MVP was awarded to Nikola Jokic, there were some mixed reactions from everyone, including Shaquille O'Neal. For Shaq, he thought it should've gone to OKC Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander instead of Jokic. O'Neal and the TNT crew had a chance to congratulate and interview the Serbian big and the former LA Lakers center took his chance.

While he expressed his respect for the three-time MVP, he shared that SGA deserved it more. This sent a bad message to most people, including Shannon Sharpe. The ESPN analyst talked about how it was a bad move for O'Neal to make those comments about the MVP. He also accused the center of being jealous that he only won one MVP in his career.

O'Neal didn't take the criticism of Sharpe well and responded with a diss track. The former Lakers star rapped about how the former NFL star wasn't even "ranked in the top 10" of his own "profession."

"Your whole demeanor is faker than new rapper beefy/ You're soft before you get fly, you'd rather tweet me," Shaq rapped.

However, O'Neal was recently interviewed about the beef between himself and Sharpe.

"Nothing," Shaq said when asked about what's going on between them. "I love Shannon Sharpe. When you're men, when you're athletes, you have opinions, there's ego involved but he's a great guy." (0:34)
