Shaq with Sheriff Joe:

Shaquille O’Neal will lose his special deputy’s badge in Maricopa County because of language he used in a freestyle rap video that clowns former teammate Kobe Bryant.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the Phoenix Suns center’s use of a racially derogatory word and other foul language left him no choice. Arpaio made Shaq a special deputy in January and promoted him to colonel of his largely ceremonial posse earlier this month.

“I want his two badges back!,” Arpaio told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Arpaio, who describes himself as “America’s Toughest Sheriff” and is best known for feeding jail inmates green bologna, clothing them in pink underwear, and making them work on chain gangs, said he didn’t expect his actions would teach Shaq a lesson. But he hoped he learns that as a role model who wants to someday be a full-time sheriff, he needs to know his words matter.

O’Neal previously served as a reserve officer with the Miami Beach Police Department while playing for the Miami Heat. He also volunteered with the Tempe Police Department after being traded to the Suns in February .

If you are not up on game about what led to this incident it all started Sunday night in NY…

O’Neal spit a freestyle in a New York nightclub that was aimed directly at Kobe. Shaq rhymes lines like “You know how I be. Last week Kobe couldn’t do without me.” and a crowd joining chant of “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes.”

The 2007-2008 MVP took his Los Angeles Lakers to the NBA Finals, only to lose 4-2 to the Boston Celtics. Shaq also takes claim that Kobe is the reason his divorce came to surface as Kobe alleged that O’Neal paid up to $1 million to a women to keep quiet during his 2004 rape investigation.

“That’s why I’m getting divorced. He said Shaq gave a bitch a mil. I don’t do that cause my name is Shaquille. I love ‘em. I don’t leave ‘em. I got a vasectomy, now I can’t breed ‘em.” LOL!

Yo, even Nas is gettin involved and throwing in his two cents:

(Last night, as the rapper was seen coming out of a restaurant with R&B singer and wife Kelis)

“Shaq is my man, f— Kobe,” said the veteran emcee. “Shaq is my man, biggup to Shaq.”

This isn’t the first time Nas has had something to say about Kobe. In his song “These Are Our Heroes” off off the album Street’s Disciple, Nas criticizes Kobe:

“From OJ to Kobe, uh let’s call him Tobe/First he played his life cool just like Michael/Now he rock ice too just like I do/Yo, you can’t do better than that?/The hotel clerk who adjusts the bathroom mat?/Now you lose sponsorships that you thought had your back/Yeah, you beat the rap jig—o, fake n—a you/You turn around then you s–t on Shaq/Who woulda knew, Mr. Goodie-Two-Shoes/He love a little butt crack, got enough cash/Little kids with they bus pass who look up to you/To do something for the youth, stupid spoof”

HERE IS THE VIDEO OF SHAQ ON STAGE: WARNING ADULT CONTENT/LYRICS

Check it, You know how I be
Last week Kobe couldn’t do without me
Ya know how I be
Last Week Kobe couldn’t do without me

I call myself big but I’m not as good as Biggie
I call myself big cuz I live next to Diddy
Excuse me, Diddy live next to me, so in the hood dawg I feel like B-I-G

Cuz if Biggie was still here, he would be right there, on star island in a mansion somewhere chillin
sitting on about half a billion, cuz me and gunz can buy sh** that’s half a billion

Forreal dawg now that’s B-I-G, there aint nobody in the world do it bigger than me
That’s like a white boy trying to be more n**** than me
That’s like a homeless cat having more figures than me

That’s like Patrick Ewing having more rings than me
That’s like rappers having..cars (inaudible)things than me
That’s …like you saying to yourself you better than me
That’s like Kareem saying to himself he better than me
Now stop, think about that, it aint about that, its about B-I-G AKA Shaq
Now that’s the difference between first and last place,

Chorus:
Kobe, N****, Tell me how my azz taste
Okay, Kobe, Tell me how my azz taste
Okay, Everybody, Kobe Tell me how my azz taste

I’m a horse, Kobe rat-ed me out, that’s why I’m getting divorced
He said Shaq gave a b**** a Mil, I don’t do that cause my name Shaquille
I love em, I don’t leave em’ I got a vasectomy, now I can’t breed them

Chorus:
Kobe How my azz taste
Everybody, Kobe how my azz taste
Yeah, you can’t do without me
Kobe, You can’t do without me (repeat 2 times)
Everybody, Kobe, Tell how my azz taste (Collective)
Yeah….
