Kanye West continues to rile up critics with his offensive comments. The controversial rapper has refused to back down as he recently accused several NBA stars and celebrities, including Shaquille O’Neal, of being controlled by the mainstream media. While Shaq has not responded to West’s recent comments, the Los Angeles Lakers legend used sympathetic words from veteran actress Jennifer Lewis to leave Kanye West fans emotional.

The four-time NBA champ recently shared a reel featuring Lewis, who is popularly known for her memoir ‘The Mother of Black Hollywood.’ Jennifer Lewis recently made an appearance on Hollywood Unlocked, where she urged Kanye West to hush up and get some help.

However, there was a sudden shift in her tone as she addressed West directly. The 65-year-old reckoned that being famous was not an excuse for controversial behavior as kids looked up to him. Jennifer Lewis said, “You hush now. I know the pain you are going through. I went through it.”

“Go get some help,” she added, later on, in a kind, empathetic voice.

She advised Kanye West to get help for his children and the next generation, who helped the controversial rapper become popular by listening to his music. In addition, Lewis almost broke into tears while offering her assistance to West.

Shaquille O’Neal shared the interview reel in his Instagram stories, generating an emotional response from Kanye West fans. West has taken a huge hit in terms of his music popularity and finances. The 45-year-old dropped out of his billionaire status as his net worth plummeted from $1.5 billion to merely $500 million. However, despite the drama, his fans still feel emotional about West.

Here are some of the reactions from Kanye West’s fans.

“This what he needs… he needs an elder black woman to sit him down and give him that love and guidance he’s been missing!!”

“I love you Jennifer Lewis but telling this man to bow down to this system is like telling him to fall in place. We need our sistas behind us this is not the time.”

“Ye needs a mother’ love tender and care.”

“Yes sweetie go get help…”

“He needs that.”

“So sad that everyone is claiming Ye is sick…”

“I love Kanye we all do but you got to be blind if you don’t see he needs real help…”
