In what appears to be a crowded nightclub, O’Neal started rapping about Kobe. It looks like it was a free flow of words and not something that was written previously. But we’d never know. And this was after Kobe lost the finals to the Boston Celtics in 2008.
So Shaq was rapping that Kobe couldn’t win the NBA title without him. He sang, “…Last week Kobe couldn’t do it without me…”

But the most interesting part was when Shaq accused Bryant of ratting him out to his wife, which caused the divorce. O’Neal rapped, “…Kobe ratted me out. That’s why I’m here divorced…”
One of the main reasons for Kobe’s feud with Shaq was that he would spend a lot of his time in clubs and party a lot. While everyone can’t be as obsessed as Kobe was, he still has a point. One has to take care of his body to be at the top of his game.
