The post, featuring a simple text overlay that read, “They’re not mad at you. They’re mad it’s you,” seemed to be a veiled reference to the ongoing feud between O’Neal and West. Reacting to O’Neal’s cryptic message, both rapper Ludacris and former NBA star Dwyane Wade chimed in with their own expressions of support, further fueling the fire of speculation surrounding the feud.
The latest round of hostilities between O’Neal and West stems from a recent Instagram post by the rapper, in which he took aim at businessman Jamie Salter, a close associate of O’Neal’s. West’s comments drew a swift response from O’Neal, who reportedly called out the rapper for his behavior in a now-deleted comment.
This isn’t the first time O’Neal and West have clashed online. Back in 2022, the two exchanged barbs over Salter’s business dealings, with O’Neal standing firm in defense of his friend and business partner. Now, with tensions once again running high, fans are eagerly awaiting the next twist in this ongoing saga of celebrity drama.
“Believe me you don’t know me like that,” O’Neal wrote. “Worry about your business, and to quote the once great Kanye West ‘I got more money than you, so why would i listen to you’ take my advice get your family business in order. Have a great day brother.”
O’Neal posted a reel that featured an image that had nothing else in it but the text:
“They’re not mad at you. They’re mad it’s you.”
“Dov Charney is my brother and me and my wife’s business partner,” Ye wrote in all caps. “When Jamie Salter and everyone else wouldn’t take my calls, he let me sleep at his factory. Dov Charney, Jonah Hill, and Jon Rafman are three people who inspired my apology.”
“Who cares stop bitchin and snitchin,” O’Neal wrote. “I kno u saw me at the Super Bowl i was waiting for u to say something smart. Man up. Nobody wanna see u cryin, man up lil boy.”
In that post, Ye took a moment to respond to Shaq in the caption:
“Oh and to Shaq I grew up looking up to you I would love to hang with you and Jamie sometime,” he wrote in all caps. “Jaimie Salter is like a father figure to me.”
