Shaq is no stranger to the music scene. The NBA icon released four rap albums in the 1990s.

Most recently, he told Keith Olbermann to “shut your dumb a** up” after the former ESPN anchor slammed LSU’s Angel Reese for taunting Iowa star Caitlin Clark during the NCAAW finals last month. At the time, Olbermann tweeted that Reese is “a f***ing idiot.”

Olbermann added, “Doesn’t matter the gender, the sport, the background — you’re seconds away from a championship, and you do something like this and overshadow all the good. Mindless, classless, and what kind of coach does this team have?”

Shaq told Olbermann to “shut your dumb a** up” and to “leave Angel Reese alone”. Read more about there HERE.
