Shaquille O'Neal ignited online drama by taking a dig at Drake amid the Toronto native's ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar.
The NBA icon shared a fan-edited photo on his Instagram Story depicting Drake, 37, in a black bikini.
The edited image, accompanied by Metro Boomin's "BBL Drizzy," alluded to rumors purportedly started by Rick Ross surrounding Drake's alleged cosmetic procedures. The post has received over 66,000 Likes within 24 hours.
The picture drew a range of reactions online, as many found it amusing, with one fan exclaiming, "WHO DID TTTHHIISS!!!! BOI SOCIAL MEDIA IS UNDEFEATED...LAWD." However, some responses were critical, viewing O'Neal's post as unnecessary or trivial.

The ongoing feud between Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, and Lamar escalated with Metro Boomin's "BBL Drizzy," prompting Drake's response with "Push Ups" as tensions continued to increase.
