Shaq’s Instagram Story featuring BBL Drizzy
In the edited image, Shaq is seen sporting blue floral bikini bottoms while holding a bikini-wearing Drake, displaying his allegiance to Kendrick Lamar.
The post was coupled with the soundtrack “BBL Drizzy,” a diss track by music producer Metro Boomin.
The song alludes to rumors about Drake undergoing a Brazilian butt lift, a claim initially made by Rick Ross.
Known for his playful and unfiltered nature, Shaq frequently shares fan-made edits on his Instagram story, with this post being the latest in his social media pranks.
This isn’t the first instance of Shaq showing support for Lamar; he recently attended “The Pop Out: Ken and Friends,” Lamar’s exclusive show in Los Angeles, joined by big names like LeBron James, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and DeMar DeRozan.
The internet had a mixed response to Shaq’s post, with some finding it entertaining and others critiquing it.
Various fans expressed enjoyment at the crossover between the basketball icon and the rap rivalry, with one commenter noting the humor in the situation.
Conversely, there were those who did not find the post amusing, criticizing Shaq for the content.
Vincent Lay, the editor behind the image, also faced mockery from a user suggesting he needed alternative employment.
The Ongoing Feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar
Metro Boomin’s “BBL Drizzy” track, released in May, took a direct aim at Drake by referencing Rick Ross’s claims of the artist undergoing cosmetic procedures.
The feud escalated when Drake responded with his track “Push Ups,” firing back at Metro Boomin.
Shaq’s recent activities, from attending Kendrick Lamar’s concert to sharing the bikini photo, affirm his stance in this musical rivalry, bridging the worlds of sports and music.
