Not that Drake doesn’t already feel like it’s “20 versus one,” but one of his increasing number of rivals has a new adversary.
Shaquille O’Neal, the NBA legend, joined the jokers this past weekend by uploading an altered photo of the 6 God in a string bikini.
In the picture, Shaq is sitting on a yacht with a woman embracing him while sporting a black bikini, and Drizzy’s head is placed over her body.
The snarky “BBL Drizzy” instrumental by Metro Boomin was also used by the former NBA MVP as the post’s soundtrack.
Shaq does not appear to be on the side of the Compton rapper in the fight, despite being one of the many basketball celebrities that Kendrick Lamar invited to his epic Pop Out event in Inglewood last week.
NBA players like James Harden and LeBron James saw Kendrick perform live, and NBA stars like DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook joined him on stage.
Although Shaq hasn’t directly attacked Drake in his battle with K. Dot, the Toronto native has made references to the Hall of Famer in the past in his songs.
“Yeah, I’m fuckin’ glowin’ up/ Shaq postin’ up on n-ggas that I used to have posters of/ Real quick, man, you couldn’t have hated that/ Let’s be real, n-gga, you couldn’t have made it that, woo!” rapped Drizzy in his 2015 song “Used 2.”
The two previously collaborated on an edition of Inside the NBA where Shaq beatboxed for Drake, who then spontaneously performed an improvised rendition of his Meek Mill diss tune “Back to Back” after spitting a freestyle.
After Kendrick Lamar performed trash songs like “Euphoria,” “6:16 in LA,” “Like That,” and “Not Like Us” for the first time during the Pop Out concert, Drake has not yet responded.
In addition, he invited Dr. Dre to contribute the beat to the song “Not Like Us.” The N.W.A. icon also performed the songs “Still D.R.E.” and “California Love.
“During the well-attended event, a number of other notable guests made appearances, including Tyler, The Creator, Roddy Ricch, and ScHoolboy Q, who were previously with Kendrick Lamar’s Top Dawg Entertainment.
