Shaquille O’Neal has taken a stance against Rihanna’s detractors after the singer was criticised by former president Donald Trump for her 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.
The legendary basketball star recently praised the pregnant singer’s halftime show performance as he hit out against critics ‘disrespecting’ the Grammy Award winner.
‘All you people disrespecting my Rihanna, shut your face. Shut it up,’ he said Tuesday on The Big Podcast with Shaq.
‘We’re living in a world where people got too much freedom. Keep your f***ing thoughts to yourself.
‘She did a wonderful job, she’s pregnant, she blessed it, she did her thing, she didn’t fall,’ he continued.
‘Just leave it there. All you superstars that’s disrespectful and causing beef, shut your face. Shut it up.
‘If she was my woman and I seen one of you superstars do that. I’m gonna have to get at ya. Rappers. Presidential candidates – I’m gonna have to get at you. Leave this woman alone.’
O’Neal seemed to be referencing both Trump and Black, who were vocal in their displeasure of the Barbadian’s mini-concert.
Black, a known Trump supporter after he pardoned the rapper’s jail sentence in 2021, concurred with the potential 2024 Presidential candidate.
Trump hit out at Rihanna prior to, and following the Super Bowl. ‘Man, uncle Trump said that s*** garbage, man,’ the rapper said while watching the performance at State Farm Stadium.
