Following Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out — Ken and Friends” performance, Drake has been the target of a number of internet jokes and attacks. Shaquille O’Neal entered the debate on Sunday, June 23, by posting a Photoshopped picture of the Toronto rapper on a yacht wearing a black bikini.

O’Neal used Metro Boomin’s “BBL Drizzy” instrumental as the background music for the Instagram Story. It was the NBA legend’s first time speaking out about the disagreement between Drake and Lamar. He was mentioned by the self-coined 6 God on “Used 2” (2015): Sure, I’m f**king shining up. I used to have posters of Shaq putting up on n**gas.

According to Bossip, the photo that O’Neal posted was taken on a trip to Spain in 2019 and included model Danielle Dilworth, who was 27 at the time. The specifics of their relationship were not disclosed, although the publication stated that he was in Europe at the time to attend a number of DJ Diesel shows, including Tomorrowland Festival in Belgium.

Not to be forgotten is that during Lamar’s Juneteenth (June 19) performance, a number of basketball celebrities, including DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook, joined him on stage. O’Neal wasn’t there, but other celebrities like LeBron James and his spouse were seen in the crowd.

As Rap-Up reported over the weekend, Lamar was seen filming the music video for his smash hit “Not Like Us” in Compton, CA. The record went No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, with many of the lyrics aimed at Drake and his OVO affiliates.

“[One thing] you might not know is I heard the song when everyone else heard it. I never heard it before. I wasn’t in the studio with him,” Mustard told the publication about crafting the instrumental. “When I was making it, in the back of my head, [I was thinking], ‘What would Dr. Dre do if Lil Jon was in the studio and they [were] collabing on a beat?’”
