The mainstream media reported that Phoenix Suns star player Shaq O’Neal was stripped of his police deputy badge. This after O’Neal was accused of using foul language in his latest rap song. The report said that it was Kobe Bryant who is the one being referred to by O’Neal’s number.
The brouhaha met different reactions from the US public which prompted concerned authorities to removed O’Neal from their lists of deputized police officers. Shaq was given his side to explain but it was too late for the big fella to keep his badge of authority.
The big fella explained that it was just part of being a rap artist to add some stinging lyrics to his song like rappers do. But the critics did not buy his antics instead they made sure that Shaq O’Neal be stripped of his police deputy badge.
For being a man of reputable character, O’Neal should’ve act responsibly and sensitively. He should learn a lesson or two from his mistakes. Foul language, garbage ideas and all of the same stuff is not in anyway acceptable to any polite society. Every individual has the responsibility to respect and adhere to moral and social standards.
Nonetheless, Shaq O’Neal is just like anybody else, he commit mistakes once in a while and save for his being one of the pillars in the NBA, his explanation and apology must be appreciated.
