Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal’s associations do not extend only to the confines of the basketball court. The former player is also known to mingle from time to time with the fraternity of the film industry. From his friendship with actress Mila Kunis to his various cameos in movies like Scary Movie 4 and What Men Want, Shaq keeps an interest in the Hollywood industry.

The four-time NBA champion recently took to social media to share some words of wisdom from a renowned actor in the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise. And he wasn’t the only one lauding the Hollywood actor for his stance.

Shaquille O’Neal supports Tyrese Gibson’s bold stance

VSG Entertainment, an Instagram handle with over 376,000 followers, recently uploaded a reel. It features prominent Hollywood actor Tyrese Gibson sitting down for an interview. During the same, Gibson touched base on the one thing that every other affluent celebrity is forced to deal with: Haters.

The actor said that he didn’t even remember the last time he lost some sleep over someone who didn’t see eye to eye with him. Emphasizing that he works too hard for everything he has achieved, Gibson doesn’t feel the need to be worried about what some random person has to say about him.

Addressing the ‘haters’ themselves, Gibson stared at the camera and stressed the fact that they can’t make him feel bad about “being this blessed.”

“Haters is like water, rolling off a duck’s back. Look at it fall,” Gibson added when addressing his critics. “And imma sit here, with this ‘Jesus Juice’ all over me, and that water gonna drip right off.”

Gibson concluded his rant by stating that no matter what, no one can make him feel bad for what he has rightfully earned.
