The Kyrie Irving affair has been causing a great stir in the NBA and in the US as a whole in recent days, after the Brooklyn Nets star promoted a film on social media that included anti-Semitic content, refused to condemn his post and oppose it, and after a number of controversial statements, he was suspended from his team tonight (Friday). As you remember, The one who started the anti-Semitic storm was Kanye West, the famous rapper, who, following harsh statements against Jews and the Jewish community, also suffered a severe financial blow, when he lost several business agreements with companies such as Adidas and Gap, who decided to stop cooperating with him.

Kanye West decided to show solidarity with Kyrie Irving, and dragged Shaquille O'Neal into the equation, the NBA commentator who called Kyrie an "idiot".
O'Neill said that "it hurts me that we have to sit here and talk about things that harm the game, that we have to respond to what one idiot did."
Kanye claims that Shaquille is betraying the black community in the US because he does business with Jews, and tweeted in response to Shaq's words: "They make us behave violently against ourselves because of our business partners." Kanye later expanded, detailing: "Shaq is in business relationships with 'Jamie Salter', who is a dandy businessman of Jewish origin. Kanye also claimed: "You can't be anti-Semitic, when you are Semitic yourself", and wrote that "this is not hate, we are love, God is love".

Shaquille, as usual, did not remain silent, and responded to Kanye: "Trust me you don't know me like that. Mind your own business. And to quote what the great Kanye West once said, 'I have more money than you, so why should I listen to you.' Take myself, and take care of your family matters first. Have a good day, brother."
