Days After Declaring ‘Kobe and Shaq’ the Greatest, Rapper Duo Go Back on Their Word

The influence of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant goes beyond the basketball court. It is common for people to name-drop these Los Angeles Lakers legends in their songs and compare themselves to the iconic duo. Although this one rapper duo called Shaq and Kobe the greatest when they met Shaquille O’Neal in person, they have now switched up their response one week later.

Meek Mills and Rick Ross recently came back together after their fall-off two years ago and are releasing their new album ‘Too Good to Be True‘ on November 10th. As the promotion for the album continues, the rapper duo has given their take on the greatest athlete in history.

Going back on the Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant pick

A few days ago, Meek Mills and Rick Ross joined the crew of Inside the NBA to promote their new album. During their conversation, they were asked who Shaq and Kobe were among the rapper duo. Rick Ross immediately leaned toward Shaq, while Meek Mills said that he is from Philadelphia, so he is more towards Kobe Bryant.

As they were talking, Meek Mills said, “We are never comparing ourselves to the GOAT’s Shaq and Kobe“. At that moment, they agreed that Shaq and Kobe were the greatest, but a mere one week later, the duo have switched their stance!

Recently, Rick Ross and Meek Mills joined Complex to promote their new album. During a segment of GOAT Talk, where celebrities pick their greatest in each category, the rapper duo was asked who their GOAT athlete was.

Rick Ross said Michael Jordan and Meek Mills approved, saying that was his choice as well. This has led people to wonder why they did not mention Shaq or Kobe, even though they have a song named after them in their new album.

The rapper duo paid their respect

The rapper duo had released a new song called SHAQ & KOBE. They consider Shaq and Kobe to be the greatest duo, so they compare themselves to the Laker legends in the music industry.

The song was a hit, and even Shaq said that he loved the song. Shaq said that the song was not talking about Shaq and Kobe but was saying that Rick Ross and Meek Mills are saying that they are the greatest duo in the hip-hop industry. Later, Shaq and Damian Lillard joined the rapper duo and remixed the song, and they have now put out a new version of the song.
