Shaquille O'Neal had some opinions about the relationship of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, who co-parented four kids while making their divorce official. The basketball star and father could not help but scold the rapper for how he is handling his parenting issues with his ex-wife.

In an episode of his "The Big Podcast" series, O'Neal revealed that he doesn't feel sorry for West's marital and parenting woes with Kardashian because the ex-couple are not being discreet on social media. O'Neal said that West and Kardashian give millions of people access to their lives and broadcast their problems for the world to find out.

O'Neal explained that celebrities should never put their personal problems in public.

"You got a problem, keep the problem," the NBA star advised West. "I don't feel sorry for all these people getting on social media."

Kanye West's Complains About Kim Kardashian

A week before O'Neal's rant, West posted an Instagram live to accuse Kardashian of barring him from attending the fourth birthday of his daughter, Chicago. Friends of the couple expressed surprise because they knew that West and Kardashian had planned separate parties for their child.

In another interview, West also accused Kardashian of not allowing him to see his eldest daughter, North, at his ex-wife's house. The ex-couple have yet to define the parameters of their co-parenting agreement. The rapper also composed "Eazy" to go off on Kardashian's decision to have nannies for their kids.

According to She Knows, West complained that their custody agreement for their four kids -- eight-year-old North, six-year-old Saint, Chicago, and two-year-old Psalm -- is supposed to be 50-50, but he feels that Kardashian is getting 99 percent of her time with their children because it's "the American mindset."

A spokesperson for Kardashian told People that West's accusations are false. She wants her kids to have a strong relationship with both their mom and dad, but West needs to respect her boundaries and the structure she has in place for their children.

Shaquille O'Neal Calls West 'Petty'

This was not the first time O'Neal expressed his opinion about West's issues with Kardashian. Some weeks ago, he called the rapper petty on his podcast for deciding to buy a house near Kardashian's place so the kids would be within walking distance to their father.

However, as a divorced dad of six kids, O'Neal felt that it could help West become better at parenting if he's literally close to his children.

Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February 2021 after six years of marriage and some years of exclusively dating each other. Kardashian is reportedly dating TV star Pete Davidson while West is rumored to be with Julia Fox.

Sources told Us Weekly that the Kardashian family is not happy with West, causing drama about his co-parenting issues. They said that West has been "uncontrollable" in airing his problems with Kardashian in public.
