Shaq Attacks Kobe… again.

Mr. O’Neal is back to his old ways.

TMZ: Shaquille O’Neal took the mic at a NYC club last night, unleashing a freestyle verbal assault directed at his arch-enemy Kobe Bryant — blaming his former teammate for ruining his marriage and imploring him to “Tell me how my ass tastes.”

The line most likely references a comment Kobe made during his infamous 2003 rape case, when he told Colorado police that he “Should have done what Shaq does … Shaq would pay his women not to say anything.” The two became famously bitter rivals after the incident.

After spending several verses shredding Kobe apart for losing in the NBA playoffs, Shaq drops the line, “I’m a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that’s why I’m getting divorced.”

Watch the video on TMZ.

UPDATE: Here is Shaq’s response to the his freestyle. Anyone actually believe a word this man says?

    Shaq getting divorced - looking for scapegoat . . .

    Not everything he said was wrong though - “KB couldnt do it w/o me” . . .lets just hope he eats those words next year and the following years to come.

    Why so much hate Shaq? You make yourself look like an idiot when you open your mouth. Your rhymes suck and so does your game nowadays.

    But heres the truth Laker Nation. Without Shaq we have no rings. Kobe should be sending thank you notes to Shaq for the three rings that he’s wearing.

    So being a Sheriff(The WORST type of cop,EVER)is really bringin Shaq’s true colors out.I got veeeeeeeeeeeeeery little respect left for a man that won 3 ‘Chips with Kobe and because you paid ‘Superhead’ for a Blow’J'(Check Superbad)and you blame Kobe for that?Well if you ask me GROWN MEN DON’T BLAME OTHER GROWN MEN FOR …… short comings(OUCH).

    Jealousy is the NO.1 killer of black folks,MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY and here’s prime example,talk about CONTRADICTIONS.

  16. Gravatar Icon 16 kobe124

    Shaq always needs to be news in the offseason.
    too bad kobe can say “shaq telling how falling short in the playoffs taste?”
    The cactus is asking for it.

    *FREESTYLE*

    Kobe needs to cut it down when they meet again.
    you know who will win.
    not shaq my friend.
    and kobe didnt ruin him.
    shaq just had to pay for his sin.hahaha!

    SHAQ…YOU NEED TO REALLY GROW UP!!!!! YOUR JUST SOME BIG ASS HAS BEEN WHO IS BLAMING KOBE FOR YOUR DOWNFALLS!!!! DAMN,BE A REAL MAN AND SIT YOUR FAT ASS DOWN…YOU DONT MATTER ANYMORE!!!!!
    LAKERS & KOBE ALL DAY LONG….WE DONT MISS OR NEED YOU…AND OH, WE WILL WIN WITHOUT YOU BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. Gravatar Icon 22 lakerfan

    I just heard the recording. Thats some funny stuff!!!!! However very low blow. That is some low stuff….even by Shaq standards. He even slams Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

    Kobe has got to get another ring or Shaq will keep bringing this crap until they die.

    Kobe better respond. If he doesn’t, the entire league and his teammates will know he’s soft. And don’t give me bull crap that he “should be mature and not respond”. Someone talks $hit about you like that you better call him out.

  23. Gravatar Icon 23 DBricks

    I think Shaq broke his own law, no man under should critcize any man above. Just not right, just disrespectful. The bottom line is the Suns are going to fight just to make the playoffs and he is going to be a non-factor, and be out of the league in a year. Why Kobe continues to compete and win NBA championships. So NBA player ordinance code 2557, no player under should critcize a player above…its just not right shaq, respect your own rules HATER

  24. Gravatar Icon 24 TonyStarks79

    That’s what happens when your a RAT.

  25. Gravatar Icon 25 RD

    i know it was club… was shaq drunk? they just showed the full vid on sportscenter a couple seconds ago, and it didnt look like he was drunk. he was prbably just being an A$$ again, like he always has been. whats new? FUCC SHAQ!

  26. Gravatar Icon 26 Theenfinit

    Anyone who calls themself a Lakers fan will remember that they didn’t just get rid of Shaq. The year after Shaq was dealt, where was Derek Fisher, Robert Horry, Rick Fox or anyone else who contributed to the Lakers championship seasons? It wasn’t just Shaq and Kobe winning those rings.

    As for “Snaq” as in “I like to snack and come to camp fat” O’Neal, two things:

    1. You complain that Kobe ratted you out and destroyed your marriage. I guess your CHEATING ON YOUR WIFE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HURTING YOUR MARRIAGE.

    2. You went to a team that had gone to the conference Finals the year before. You didn’t turn that team from a bunch of scrubs into a high caliber team simply by your addition, and as I remember, it was Alonzo Mourning that really made a difference in the Finals you did win, not to mention Posey, Haslem, WADE! Even Gary (I didn’t show up for the Lakers against Billups and the Pistons) Payton showed up and produced. Anyways, if you’re so above Kobe, why can’t you just move on?

    Like Kobe did.

  27. Gravatar Icon 27 theLAKESHOW22

    This fat ass needs to die! Wtf is his problem? He serioulsy has split personalities? Man of Steel and Kazaam? Let it go Shaq…you are done fat ass.

  28. Gravatar Icon 28 RD

    maybe he’s just old, lonley, and going through mid-life crisis and needed some publicity like he used to have?….

  29. Gravatar Icon 29 Clownin'

    Ha!! That was some funny stuff. Laker fans couldn’t get on their knees enough when Shaq was winning rings out here in LA (I call all y’all Superhead). Now when he tells the truth about Kobe you guys can’t get off your knees and Kobe’s jock out your mouth enough to admit Shaq’s right. Face it. Shaq/Kobe was the best combo and Kobe, Gasoft, Lamar SoDumb and Andrew Bynumbskull jus ain’t gonna do it.

    Leave the herd… join the Clipper Nation. We got the same number of rings since Shaq left LA as Kobe/Phil does!!

  30. Gravatar Icon 30 daboss1849

    Hate to tell the big inconsequential but kb isn’t done yet like u are. i guarantee kb will have at least 5 rings before its all said and done…

  31. Gravatar Icon 31 daboss1849

    Maybe we should call him the big child support or the big alimony LOL…

  32. Gravatar Icon 32 Lakers 24 7

    That’s why Shaq was huggin Kobe’s nuts this season talkin about “Kobe deserves the MVP” and “He’s proud of Kobe that he is back in the finals” lollll silly shaq, your fat, retire.

  33. Gravatar Icon 33 Fantastic5LAL

    Umm

    The reason he is getting divorced is cause he cheated on his wife. Bottom line. Blame it on Kobe if you want, but it’s not like he made you go down on other woman.

  34. Gravatar Icon 34 True Lakers Fan

    shaq is a fatt ass i lost TOTAL respect for him how come he didn’t rap bout how ROOKIE Bynum dunked on him haha Shaq will never win an ring again

  35. Gravatar Icon 35 shakobe

    call me crazy but i think shaq is bitter for getting traded from the lakers… he did win a ring in miami but his team mate called him lazy Dwade said he needs to learn to play threw injuries and help us more, his coach didnt like his attitude and now he went to the suns and could not deliver so he is at his lowest point in his career…. i think he is just pissed about the team divorce more ( HIM GETTING TRADED FROM THE LAKERS MORE THEN HIM DIVORCING FROM HIS WIFE)…… But thats a new low for Shaq….. Shame…

    How does Shaq get away with this stuff? Because he’s big and goofy he’s allowed to trash whoever he wants? Don’t forget, he’s also done this sort of thing to Phil Jackson & Pat Riley. Whenever he does something like this, most people just laugh it off. On the other hand, when Kobe was recorded trashing Bynum for a legitimate reason (wanting to win, wanting Jason Kidd, not happy with Bynum’s work ethic up to that point) he’s crucified.

  39. Gravatar Icon 39 willow

    It’s really sad now how he has to do something this stupid and low just to get attention to him. I’m not mad at him, I feel sorry for him. He’s just a pathetic has been. Instead of riding on a horse into the sunset, he’s goin down in flames. I’m grateful for the rings he helped brought to this city but this is just pathetic. He’s 36 years old. He needs to just grow the f*ck up. He’s still bitter about something that happened 5-6 years ago. PATHETIC!

    not saying something has nothing to do with being soft - its called class. The Lakers are a 1st class organization, KB represents the Lakers - lets hope he doesnt misrepresent the Lakers as he has in the past . . . let this Putz talk, dont give it any attention.

    Hey Clownin,
    You are right Shaq/Kobe was the best combo.
    And yes if you listen to entire rhyme, it is funny.

    As low as it was I still respect Shaq because he came to my kid brothers elementary school here in L.A. (this was after he went to the heat). Brought them some computers and gave the teachers Laker gear.

    It just puzzles me as to why he has so much hate against Kobe.

  56. Gravatar Icon 56 Rinnegato

    Bad Shaq, No donut!! Haa Haa. Fat Ba$tard!!! Can’t wait ’till Bynum posterizes your a$$. He’s going to make Shaq pay for trashing the greatest center that ever played. Kareem is training Bynum against an elephant right now as we speak to show him how to defend against his fat a$$.

  59. Gravatar Icon 59 Zen Master

    Hell yeah…..Kobe better better not lay down on this one.
    And FU ….SHAQ FU. He always lays down to Shaq…that why Shaq keeps bringing it. He lays down again and he’s nothing but a P*SSy.

    Even little punk ass Iverson had something for Shaq in 2003 when Shaq said he better not come in the paint. Iverson came back and said “I don’t care if he’s 8 foot tall, I’ll be comin down the lane with all I got. Try to stop me.” Not much, but its a response and that punk did bring it.

    Class? OK. Don’t respond Kobe. Show some class. F*^% class. Do something. Say something. Use DCLAKERS rhyme…something. You got the balls to call out everyone on the team last summer but won’t even step up to Shaqs clownin?

    Very bad taste from Shaq.

    The truth is Shaq would not win 3 rings without Kobe and won without Wade. Kobe has not won one yet without Shaq, but he has way better chances to accomplish that than Shaq.
    Shaq is just a bitter old fat man because he knows the Suns has absolutely no chance to win again. It’s over for him.
    Meanwhile, Kobe needs to win the ship to shut the fu ck of Shaq forever. It will come soon.

    I used to respect Shaq, but after the whole Lakers fiasco his departure and his betrayal again with the Heat. F U C K him!

    How is this guy still relevant? He’s done. His team got bounced in the 1st round and he’s talking crap about Kobe? Please. Shaq is an immature two-faced whiner. Always is, always will be. He even goes on to insult KAJ.

    . Does Shaq ever STFU? Are any of the problems in his life EVER his fault, or is he just the eternal victim?

    Clippers are being moved to the D-League. They will now play at the basketball court at Valley Plaza. Nobody in the Clippers Organization is allowed 200 yards near the Staples Center. Anybody who gets less than 200 yards from the Staples Center can and will be asked to leave.

    Agreed. Orlando wont. He was only in Miami for 2 and a half seasons. And his recent stint with phoenix doesn’t even count.

    If he keeps talking crap about anything to do with the Lakers, he sure won’t see his jersey in staples center. If it does, I bet they would retire Kobe’s jersey before they retire Shaqs.

    He did slam Kareem on that song too. Is Kareem better than him statstically? Yes. and does he have more rings? Yes. He’s lucky he didn’t say anything about Jerry West. Cause “The Logo” rules the NBA.

    I can’t wait for the big ovation he will get at Staples this year.
