Shaquille O’Neal and his enjoyment of beefs. Enjoyment because the sheer number of them suggests there might be some pleasure that Shaq draws from his spats. From Charles Barkley to Rudy Gobert. And who can forget his years-long feud with Dwight Howard. However, there was one that was rather sensitive in nature. Multi-platinum rapper and new husband, Kanye West. The beef that began at the tail-end of the 2022 year has stretched on for quite some time. The bad blood ensued from political differences and soon turned ugly.

However, it looks like Shaq is willing to forgive and forget if his latest story is something to go by.

While the Laker Great has a propensity for Instagram-ing, the latest story seems carefully planned. After an ugly feud in 2022, it seems like the two are finally looking to make amends. The root of the rivalry can be traced back to Kyrie Irving.

After he posted a movie with antisemitic values on his story, causing mass hysteria, Shaq was a vocal critic. He was ruthless in his assessment of Kyrie as he said, “You have to be conscious [of what you are doing], and I can tell he is not conscious – he doesn’t really care what’s going on.”

Kanye, who had previously shared antisemitic sentiments himself, criticized Diesel. Going after him, Ye said, “They make us bully ourselves because of our business alignments.” Since then, the two have gone their opposite ways.

However, it seems that there has been a change in the dynamic. Shaq took to his story to post a clip comprising of Kanye’s greatest hits. The reel titled, “Kanye Once Said,” comprises a bunch of West’s greatest moments. Including the likes of his, “Shut the f*ck up”, and his iconic staredown after, “I’m just extremely happy can you tell by my face?” 

The story seems to be Shaq’s attempt at mending fences with the legendary rapper. Speaking of extremely happy though, it seems like Kanye and new girlfriend Bianca Censori’s bond is getting stronger by the day.
