Kanye West, has been getting a few things off his chest on Twitter, and in one of his Tweets, he mentioned the business relationship between Jamie Salter and Shaq.
For context, Jamie Salter is a Canadian billionaire businessman and the founder, CEO, and chairman of Authentic Brands Group.
ABG is a brand development and licensing company in the United States.
Shaq is a shareholder in ABG and just last year he became the second largest stakeholder in Salter’s business.
According to Complex Ye directed a few tweets at multiple businessmen he has issues with and defended Kyrie Irving’s anti-Semitism.
He shared a screenshot of an article that showed Shaq had criticized Irving for his offensive comments, and accused the basketball legend of “bullying” the Brooklyn Nets point guard.

Then he directed a comment at Shaq himself.
“Shaq is in business with Jamie Salter,” he wrote. “Jaimie [sic] first said he’s 50/50 with David Beckham and 50/50 with Shaq. I said ‘Jamie . . . There’s no such thing as 50/50 in business . . . Who has the extra 1 percent for the control and voting rights.” It’s worth pointing out that Salter is Jewish, and Ye has faced much criticism for his anti-Semitic comments.
He then said:
Jamie then said he’s actually got the 51 percent on both those deals
We as the creators and talent get so caught up in our vanity that we don’t read or understand the fine print

In his response to Ye, Shaq offered him some advice while taking a shot at him. “Believe me you don’t know me like that,” wrote Shaq. “Worry about your business, and to quote the once great Kanye West ‘I got more money than you, so why would I listen to you’ take my advice get your family business in order. Have a great day brother.”
Ye has yet to respond to Shaq’s comments, but he’s also been targeting a number of other people for not putting up with Irving’s recent behavior.
He shared another article headline, which saw Amar’e Stoudemire criticize Irving. “They make us attack each other,” wrote Ye. “Even our brothers who know who we truly are.”
