NBA superstar (and now also freestyle rapper) Shaquille O’Neal will lose his special deputy’s badge in Maricopa County, Arizona, because of the lingo he used while dissing Lakers star Kobe Bryant in a rap caught on tape, all according to AP.
“I want his two badges back. Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they’re fired. I don’t condone this type of racial conduct,” Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told The Associated Press yesterday.
Joe Arpaio promotes himself as “America’s Toughest Sheriff” and is probably best known for dressing jail inmates in pink underwear, serving them surplus food and forcing them to work on chain gangs.
