Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has received a lot of backlash recently after his controversial actions. NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal blasted Irving for his comments and his behavior. Irving’s former teammate LeBron James also denounced his actions and seemingly distanced himself. Seeing all this, legendary rapper Snoop Dogg has seemingly gone against James and Shaq.

Kyrie Irving has been attracting a ton of negative attention over the last few weeks for his post on Twitter. He put a tweet out with a link to a documentary that portrays antisemitic views. And when asked about it, Irving initially refused to apologize for his actions. The Nets guard refused to accept this behavior, causing the franchise to suspend Irving for a minimum of five games. KAI later apologized for his actions in a post on Instagram.
