The basketball star blamed Kobe Bryant for his own divorce from Shaunie

Would you believe that Shaquille O’Neal even went so far as to claim that his own marriage was suffering as a result of Kobe Bryant’s marital troubles? When Shaq and his ex-wife Shaunie announced their separation in September 2007, things started to go south for them. Shaq once more turned to his music to share his true feelings about the whole thing. Nobody really understood what the athlete meant when he rapped, “Kobe ratted me out, that’s why I’m gettin’ divorced,” but it certainly hinted that Kobe Bryant may have shared something with Shaunice that he maybe shouldn’t have, and that it was enough for her to finally decide that enough was enough in their relationship.

Shaq has spent thousands of dollars on his divorce and the settlement

Shaquille O’Neal is a highly accomplished athlete who has amassed a modest wealth over the years. Indeed, according to Wealthy Gorilla, he will be worth an incredible $400 million by 2021. With every year Shaq spends in the sport and every endorsement agreement he signs under his belt, the figure seems certain to rise. Unfortunately, that also meant he would have to pay thousands of dollars for Shaunie’s divorce and subsequent settlements. Shaq acknowledged in his book that the pair decided on a confidential settlement. He did acknowledge paying Shaunie $10,000 in alimony each month. Nor is that all. Additionally, he gives each of his four children $10,000.
