Shaq Rap Takes Shots At Kobe Bryant

Shaquille O'Neal issued a statement through ESPN's Stephen A. Smith regarding his controversial freestyle video which has been spreading like the Phoenix Suns offense all over the Internet.

"I was freestyling. That's all," Shaq told Smith. "It was all done in fun...I'm totally cool with Kobe. The controversial footage features Shaq freestyling at a party for rapper Cory Gunz, Sunday night in New York City. During the freestyle Shaq goes into a hook saying, "Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes."

The freestyle has other scathing words towards Shaq's former teammate and even a line directed towards legendary NBA big man Patrick Ewing. But Shaq was also quick to point out his reputation as a freestyle precedes him. "And by the way, don't forget, six albums, two platinum, two gold. Anybody who knows me knows I'm a funny freestyler." source

Shaq attacked his former LA Lakers team mate Kobe Bryant and called him a snitch who broke up his marriage. The rift between Saq and Kobe is rumored to be linked to comments Kobe Bryant made at his rape trial. TMZ caught Shaquille O'Neal's freestyle rap where he made an anal joke directed at his rival. Shaq's rhyming skills are sub par and so are the lyrics. Don't quit your day job Shaq. At around the 1:02 minute mark Shaq leads into the chorus. Here are some of the lyrics.

"That's the difference between first and last place. Kobe tell me how my ass tastes. I'm a horse. Kobe ratted me out that's why I'm getting divorced. He said Shaq gave a bitch a mill. I don't do that because my name is Shaquille. I love them I don't leave 'em. I got a vasectomy now I can't breed 'em. Kobe how my ass tastes? "

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the Phoenix Suns center's use of a racially derogatory word and other foul language left him no choice. Arpaio made Shaq a special deputy in 2006 and promoted him to colonel of his largely ceremonial posse later that year. "I want his two badges back," Arpaio told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they're fired. I don't condone this type of racial conduct." Shaq was seen in a video posted on the celebrity news and gossip Web site TMZ.com rapping that "Kobe couldn't do without me." O'Neal skewers the Lakers' star, with whom he won three straight NBA titles from 2000-2002 while with Los Angeles, for not being able to win a championship without him. "I was freestyling. That's all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever," O'Neal told ESPN.com Monday. A call to the Suns on Tuesday seeking comment from O'Neal was referred to his public relations firm, which didn't immediately respond. Arpaio, who describes himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff" and is best known for feeding jail inmates green bologna, clothing them in pink underwear, and making them work on chain gangs, said he didn't expect his actions would teach Shaq a lesson. But he hoped he learns that as a role model who wants to someday be a full-time sheriff, he needs to know his words matter. "Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I don't think that either conduct should be out there publicly, even if media wasn't there," Arpaio said. O'Neal previously served as a reserve officer with the Miami Beach Police Department while playing for the Miami Heat. He also volunteered with the Tempe Police Department after being traded to the Suns in February. source

We think the Shaq attack was a low blow. Did Kobe Bryant force Shaquille O'Neal to allegedly have extramarital affairs that ruined his relationship? According to Pagesix Shaq has enjoyed the party lifestyle and had fun being a single man .

DIVORCE-bound Shaquille O'Neal isn't letting the grass grow under his sizable feet. An in-the-know female cabby from South Beach who's driven the $20 million-a-year Miami Heat center tells Steppin' Out's Chaunce Hayden: "Every time Shaq is in town, I get the call, and let me tell you: He's got more women leaving his hotel room then any celebrity I've ever seen. Every time he stayed at the Marriott in South Beach, he had a blonde or a brunette with him." Not all that surprising following Shaq's decision in September to split from his wife of five years and mother of four, Shaunie O'Neal. His rep didn't return our call. source

Here are more details about the Shaquille O'Neal divorce. Shaq filed for divorce last fall and claimed his wife was hiding money. O'Neal also says in the petition that Shaunie has been secretive about her assets ... particularly with respect to certain properties owned or titled in either [her] name alone or in other entities" and requests that the court require Shaunie to give a "correct accounting of all money, funds, stocks, bonds, and other securities (including bearer securities)" acquired during the marriage.

Hollywood reporter Janet Charlton reports on "juicy new info" as to why Shaquille O'Neal so abruptly filed for divorce.

Shaq, 35, claimed he found out his wife Shaunie Nelson, 32, had been hiding money and investments.

The split was first reported by the Miami Herald, and after five years and four kids (as well as two from previous relationships), Shaq has decided to call it quits.

Rumors have surfaced about Shaunie having a secret stash of an undisclosed sum, which she hid from Shaq. Shaq found out about the money. He went to Miami Court and filed a petition for divorce on Tuesday.

"Shaq has been known to have a wondering eye and that will undoubtedly surface during court proceedings. In fact, Karrine Steffans, former music video vixen and author of two tell-all books, has detailed her liaisons with the Heat star," writes Chelia Copeland of Associated Content.com

Now Charlton writes: "But the financial shenanigans weren't the ONLY reason Shaq called the marriage off. According to our source, Shaunie has been having a raging affair with one of Shaq's personal trainers - described as 'a muscular Cuban.'

"When Shaunie fell for this guy she started stashing money away and went so far as to put a secret down payment on a HOUSE that she plans to share with the Cuban! Shaq's team Miami Heat pays him 20 million a year so he's not suffering much, and remember, Shaq originally stole Shaunie from his BEST FRIEND so maybe it's a case of just desserts." source

The TMZ.com clip with Shaq freestyling (if labeling it as such even does the rap genre justice) a diss to Kobe is quickly gaining chatter among our readers, SportsCenter and the talk radio circuit. The language prevents me from linking directly to it, but if you want to find it, I trust you're all Internet savvy enough to figure out the navigation. Honestly, this is the kind of post topic I hate to even waste my time with, but I guess I'm somewhat obligated as a Lakers blogger to offer an opinion. So here it is. Shaquille O'Neal is a jackass. source

Unleashing a freestyle verbal assault directed at his arch-enemy Kobe Bryant -- blaming his former teammate for ruining his marriage and imploring him to "Tell me how my ass tastes."

After spending several verses shredding Kobe apart for losing in the NBA playoffs, Shaq drops the line, "I'm a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that's why I'm getting divorced." The line most likely references a comment Kobe made during his infamous 2003 rape case, when he told Colorado police that he "Should have done what Shaq does ... Shaq would pay his women not to say anything." The two became famously bitter rivals after the incident. source Calls to Kobe's reps were not returned.
