Shaq has advice for Kanye West — get your affairs in order before commenting on his … after Ye took a shot at O’Neal on social media.
The interaction started when Kanye tweeted … “Shaq is in business with Jamie Salter. Jaimie first said he’s 50/50 with David Beckham and 50/50 with Shaq. I said “Jamie . . . There’s no such thing as 50/50 in business . . . Who has the extra 1 percent for the control and voting rights.”
Ye continued … “Jamie then said he’s actually got the 51 percent on both those deals We as the creators and talent get so caught up in our vanity that we don’t read or understand the fine print Like Dave Chapelle said, we need to stop giving up control over our own names and our likeness.”
Jamie Salter is a Canadian billionaire … and his company, Authentic Brands Group manages Shaq’s name and likeness. Jamie previously said ABG bought 50% of Shaq’s future earnings. The company also owns more than 50 brands, many very large. O’Neal is one of the company’s largest shareholders.

The tweet didn’t sit well with Shaq, who responded to Kanye, writing, “Believe me you don’t know me like that. 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.”
It all seemingly started when Shaq (and Charles Barkley) ripped Kyrie Irving for publicizing the controversial film, “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America!” Shaq said the NBA superstar was “not conscious” and didn’t care who he offended.
“It hurts me sometimes when we have to sit up here and talk about stuff that divides the game.”

Naturally, West took issue with Shaq’s criticism of Irving, writing on Twitter, “They make us bully ourselves because of our business alignments.”
Ye has evidently taken a liking to 30-year-old Kyrie … showing support for the Nets hooper by posting a photo of him on social media.

Both men have been accused of being antisemitic.
As for Shaq, it’s rare to see the big man go back and forth on social media … so don’t expect a long drawn-out feud between the Big Fella and Ye.

The controversial “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor won’t just be wearing a look from the singer’s size- and gender-inclusive lingerie line, but will be the first male model to have a featured “star” moment in the brand’s history, per Variety and TMZ, which was first to break the news.
Diddy has officially earned billionaire status and surpassed Kanye West to become the second wealthiest hip-hop artist in North America. According to former Forbes editor Zack O’Malley, Diddy now trails only Jay-Z on the list of wealthiest hip-hop artists.
It hasn’t been long since Kanye West reportedly lost his billion-dollar status, and already some fans are going the extra mile to restore West’s net worth.
Billionaire status: As AfroTech previously reported, the Yeezy founder’s severed ties with adidas led his net worth to fall to $400 million, according to Forbes.
Yet, it appears some steadfast fans are looking to create a redemption arc for West, and are using GoFundMe pages to organize their efforts.
One page even made it clear that their goal was to “Make Kanye West a Billionaire Again,” according to Rolling Stone.
In fact, amongst the various pages that surfaced, none raised over $25, and on average most earned between $5 to $6.
GoFundMe has since taken action to remove these pages for breaching their terms of service as the money raised is required to be used for the details stated on the page. Additionally, they were taken down because West was not a beneficiary.
Although these efforts from users seem questionable, this isn’t the first time people have rallied behind West in the form of crowdfunding.
It is important to note: In 2016, West shared he was $53 million in debt on Twitter and was looking for Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg to step in by investing $1 billion to support his ideas.
“Mark Zuckerberg invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas … after realizing he is the greatest living artist and greatest artist of all time,” West wrote, according to E! Online.
Vibe reports, Jeremy Piatt was looking to save West from his financial turmoil. So, he created a GoFundMe campaign titled “Get Kanye Out Of Debt” which raised $57,398 of the $53 million goal.
The result: West did not accept the funds raised.
So, Piatt had to donate the money to the Notes for Notes charity organization.
“Mr. Kanye West’s camp has declined the funds raised by this GoFundMe campaign. We’re excited to announce that they will instead be directed toward an outstanding charitable organization, Notes for Notes. In lieu of funding Mr. West’s artistic vision, 100% of the funds will be headed to young aspiring musicians hoping to fulfill their dreams,” a statement on the page read, according to Vibe.

Ye, as he now prefers to be called has had controversy follow him all through his career. From infamously crashing on Taylor Swift’s award to his debacle with his support for Donald Trump, Ye has remained on the threshold of public criticism almost permanently in his music career. That being said, it seems the billionaire has finally taken his antics too far.
