SHAQ BLAMED KOBE FOR BREAKING UP HIS MARRIAGE IN ONE OF HIS EXPERT FREESTYLE RAPS:

SHAQUILLE O'NEAL was at a New York City club Sunday night, doing what he does NOT do best:  Freestyle rapping. Shaq ripped KOBE BRYANT pretty hard . . . first because the Lakers lost the NBA finals to the Boston Celtics.  He said, quote, "Last week Kobe couldn't do without me." Then, he blamed Kobe for the breakup of his own marriage, with this MASTERFUL rhyme . . . quote, "I'm a horse / Kobe ratted me out, that's why I'm getting divorced." We're assuming here that Shaq was talking about what Kobe said to Colorado police during his 2003 rape case.  He told them that he, quote, "should have done what Shaq does . . . Shaq would pay his women not to say anything." Then for good measure, he prompted the crowd to sing along as he asked Kobe, repeatedly, to, quote, "Tell me how my ass tastes."  Shaq obviously wasn't expecting the world to hear his rap . . . because he went to ESPN yesterday to say he was KIDDING. He said, quote, "I was freestyling.  That's all.  It was all done in fun.  Nothing serious whatsoever.  That is what MCs do.  They freestyle when called upon.  I'm totally cool with Kobe.  No issue at all. "And by the way, don't forget, six albums, two platinum, two gold.  Anybody who knows me knows I'm a funny freestyler.  Please tell everybody don't make something out of nothing."
