The caption for Ye’s post read, “They make us bully ourselves because of our business alignments.” West then continued his criticism of O’Neal by sharing views on his business dealings with Canadian Businessman Jamie Salter.

Also, he tweeted, “Jamie then said he’s actually got the 51 percent on both those deals. We, as creators and talent get so caught up in our vanity that we don’t read or understand the fine print. Like Dave Chapelle said, we need to stop giving up control over our own names and our likeness,” seemingly providing business advice to O’Neal and Beckham.

West might have gone too far in supporting Irving for his alleged heinous actions. And the singer’s criticism of Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t cover him in glory either. Also criticizing O’Neal for taking a strong stance as well as questioning his recent business dealings seems to be in bad taste.
