Shaquille O’Neal told the panel that he came across the word “narcissistic.” When he searched for meaning, he had a moment of self-awareness. Shaq said he was narcissistic. It seemed that Shaq had the seriousness of the popular phrase: it takes one to know one.
The Big Diesel said, “That’s why things get crazy for him, because look how he acts.” Shaq said he used to act like Kanye West. The four-time NBA champion said it was this understanding that allowed him to label Ye a narcissist. Shaq said he was now humbled and no longer engaged in narcissism.
Shaq believed that once a person was arrogant, they risked losing everything. He added that the blame game starts after this news. Shaquille O’Neal has spoken out about Kanye West blaming Jay-Z and Beyonce, who have played a vital role in his professional journey. West claimed that the likes of LeBron James, Jay-Z and Beyonce were all “checked out.” “But they can’t control me”, added West.
