Shaq’s ‘narcissist’ comments about West

A little while ago, Shaquille O’Neal sympathized with West on his podcast by calling himself a ‘narcissist’. O’Neal said“When I look at Kanye, I say you know what, I know what he is going through. You know why I know what he’s going through? Coz I used to be a narcissist.”

Shaq reckoned that he related to Kanye West because he used to be the same way. The Big Diesel also stated that narcissists get separated from their families and things begin to go completely wrong for them. The Lakers legend experienced a similar family situation as West when he got divorced from his former wife Shaunie Henderson.
