Shaq claims skewed media coverage of freestyle rap

NEW YORK CITY, NY – In the wake of causing a major stir with by apparently dissing Kobe Bryant in a freestyle rap at a New York club, Shaquille O’Neal is furious with media outlets for misrepresenting the content of his performance.

“I’ve always been a nice guy to media people. I’m full of soundbytes for you guys, and this is how you repay me?” an enraged Shaq told a gathering of reporters outside his New York hotel. “If you watch the news today, or watch these videos on the net, it’s like the only thing I did was talk shit about Kobe for a whole freestyle. But that’s just not what happened.”

According to Shaq, most of his rap was positive and optimistic, and it is the media that has turned his stage time into a negative story.

“I said lots of nice things – I rapped about how important it is to support green causes and save the Earth; I had a little couplet about how nice everybody was to me in Phoenix and a line saying that David Stern is doing everything he can to really handle this referee situation in the best possible way,” Shaq said. “I even said nice things about Kobe. Like when I said, ‘That girl in Colorado was only trying to get cash / Kobe didn’t rape her, he just put it in her ass.’ I mean, where’s the YouTube of that? Where’s the media coverage about me defending my boy against false accusations?”

Shaq has insisted in a variety of forums that he and Kobe have no problems with each other, and that they have “squashed the beef,” to use a hip-hop term. The Big Diesel hopes the media’s nasty spin on this freestyle story doesn’t put their relationship back on the rocks.

“I’m a rapper, man,” O’Neal insisted, much to the disbelief of anyone who has listened to the 1996 Best of Shaquille O’Neal album. “Sometimes when you’re a rapper, you talk a little shit about other rappers on your album, but it’s all just in good fun. Nobody takes this stuff too seriously, just ask Tupac and Biggie.”
