Dwight Howard has once again reignited his beef with Shaquille ONeal and said the pair should go ahead and squabble if it comes to that.
Never disrespected him, Howard said of Shaq on The GAUDs Show. But hes always had something to say. Theres times where Ive gotten upset and Im like, Yo, Shaq, this gotta stop, man. I tried to [talk to him].
Dwight then explained how when he was competing on Dancing With the Stars last year he met someone close to Shaq who suggested they settle their beef once and for all.
At this point, Im like, Do we need to throw hands? What are we doing?, Dwight said. Because I have not ever for me, the only thing Ive done with Shaq is mimic his voice. But what else can I mimic him about? Hes Shaquille ONeal, hes the most dominant center ever. But again, he keeps saying stuff about me. So its like, Hey bro, do we really need to go ahead and squabble?
He continued, Thats the thing that I hate the most is the fact that he always thought I was trying to be him or be like him, Howard said. But again, if I wanted to be you or be like you, shouldnt you take that as a compliment and to show how great you are as a player or a person? I aint never wanted to be Shaq at any level. Now, have I wanted to take certain things from him, his life and implement in my life? Hell yeah. I do that with Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, LeBron James, all these people.
Shaq saw Howards comments and responded on X, vowing to never bring up Howards name again.
The fact u think I care about u is funny, but I wont ever bring your name up again sensitive big man, a jokester that cant take a joke, Shaq wrote Monday on X. Wont ever say your name again ever again. Have a great day and now u have been deleted. Have a great day.
Dwight replied on X, still claiming Shaq is jealous of NBA stars.
I know you care. Cuz yo insecure ass been hating and talking st for 20 years, Howard wrote. You to[o] big to be this insecure. I hope you dont bring my name up again. 52 years old tweeting me. And still hating. Now all this time you was joking. You always been jealous. Jealous of Kobe [Bryant], Penny [Hardaway], [Dwyane Wade]. You jealous of Charles [Barkley] too.
Go move around big lazy insecure ass. I still have that long 5 Paragraph direct message you sent me a couple years ago telling me that Im not that great to hate. And you still doing it. Its 2025 grow the hell up. and move on.
