Shaquille O’Neal is a very outspoken person and never shies away from making his point. The 7’1″ giant has often found himself embroiled in controversy due to his statements. However, that has never stopped him from saying what he wants to say. Recently, he made another statement regarding Kim Kardashian’s breakup with Pete Davidson.

The Kardashians are one of the most famous families in the world. Kim had been dating Davidson ever since her divorce from billionaire rapper Kanye West. However, her breakup with Pete now has caught the attention of the whole world and O’Neal also chimed in on the debate.

On the latest episode of his podcast, ‘The Big Podcast With Shaq‘, O’Neal discussed the situation with co-hosts Nischelle Turner and Anthony ‘Spice’ Adams. Firstly, he showed his support for West. He said, “When you a rapper, you rude. That’s what you do. I like that“. West had been involved in a back and forth with Davidson ever since the former’s divorce from Kim.

“Sometimes when you are in love with a person and you mess up, you got to fight. Man fighting for his woman. Leave that man alone“, O’Neal emphasized. Although they all agreed that it was petty of West to upload posts targeting Davidson, O’Neal revealed that he liked petty. He went on to call Kanye a genius.

O’Neal then brought up a conspiracy theory he believes in. He said, “Khloe just had a baby with Tristan and I think Kim and Pete put that out to take the pressure off Khloe“. He said that it might have been a factor in the breakup of Davidson and Kim.

Shaquille O’Neal has spoken about this saga before

This isn’t the first time that O’Neal has given his opinion on the whole Kanye West-Kim Kardashian saga. Back in January, O’Neal went in on West after the rapper decided to ‘put his business’ on social media.

Shaq himself has gone through a divorce. However, his relationship with his ex-wife is amicable and they have done a great job in raising their kids. O’Neal understands what West is going through but he didn’t appreciate the rapper taking things to social media.
