Another Day, Another Kanye West Episode | Shaq O'Neal Claps Back with Grace & Style

Kanye West made a grand pronouncement Thursday night that he was observing a 30-day cleanse. He wrote, “I am taking a 30-day cleanse. A verbal fast, no alcohol, no adult film, no intercourse. In God we praise. Amen. But my Twitter still lit.”

Ah, yes. Visions of West [legally known as Ye] spending quality time thinking about all that has happened to him in the last month was not on the agenda. A verbal fast, I doubt. But what do I know. When I read that Kanye’s Twitter is still lit, it was clear no relief from his social media headlines was in sight.

Honestly, I thought that Kanye might have a bit of humility after the very public embarassment of burning down his business with his MAGA-love, White Lives Matter, anti-Semitic month of October. To read that West hadn’t even bothered to trademark White Lives Matter was astonishing for a man who used to think he should run with Bernard Arnaud.

It’s really not “master of the universe thinking” to blow your entire business up over an incendiary brand concept, coupled with your anti-Semitism, and you didn’t bother to trademark your brand concept. Who did you blame that oops on Kanye?

Thankfully, the White Lives Matter trademark is in good hands with Quinton Ward and Ramses Ja of CIVIC CIPHER.

Kanye is so much like Trump — deflect, deflect, deflect.

I don’t believe he has commented on the trademark issue at all, or documents revealing West’s anti-Semitism settlements with past employees reported by CNN and in another settlement NBC. Both media outlets have seen the different settlements paperwork. These are major events in the last week, and Kanye is silent.

Kanye West Tries to Disrupt Successful Black Men Like Shaq O’Neal and Their Thriving Business Relationships, Sometimes with White People and Often Jewish Business People. It’s Against His Religion

BUT, when I got up this morning, I could not believe what I was reading. Kanye West had gone after the legendary NBA player Shaq O’Neal about Shaq’s business arrangements, as revealed in the Tweet above.Kanye says it’s impossible that Shaq is equal partners with Jamie Salter in a business venture. The Canadian billionaire is the founder, chairman and CEO of Authentic Brands Group, an American brand development and licensing company in New York City.

Kanye disputes that Salter and Shaq have a 50/50 arrangement because someone — usually the big money guy — has the leverage in a 51/49 split. So Kanye is Tweeting about Shaq that this cannot be true, implying that Shaq really has no control.

In the past, it is true that more often than not 51/49 was the split in an “equal” partners deal, and the difference means everything.

I am shocked that West doesn’t know about a very public declaration about a recent 50/50 split between two tycoons West knows well. AOC wrote about the event in-depth and with admiration.

But let’s stay with Shaq who was ever the gentleman in his cutting response to Kanye.

Shaq responded to Kanye West saying: 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.”

Now that is a class act from Shaq O’Neal to a not class at all called Kanye West!

Kanye West Must Be Green with Envy Over Jay-Z and LVMH

Next up, the epic 50-50 deal that should drive Kanye West crazy. I can believe he doesn’t know about Jay-Z’s fully-equal deal with LVMH. It’s an experiment, but all parties agree that they will have to work harder together, convincing each other and listening to each other in a true equality split.

Now just how does Kanye West — who clearly has totally messed up his fortunes — know that Shaq doesn’t have a deal like Jay-Z’s. I don’t think either guy would pull out a phone full of porn and shove it in his partner’s faces while filming it for social media — as Kanye did with the Adidas executives a few weeks ago.

Last month Kanye West stood with his white lives matter shirts in Paris and later accused Bernard Arnault on Instagram of murdering Virgil Abloh. Read the story at Forbes. s/marisadellatto/2022/10/04/kanye-west-claims-lvmh-ceo-bernard-arnault-killed-his-best-friend/?sh=366680ca293f

Kanye West is as outrageous as f###. Nobody needs money so badly as to be partners with that man.

Kanye West thinks he knows everything there is to know about every subject on the planet. By what standard of measurement— except his own mega, maga ego? ~ Anne
