Shareef O’Neal just unleashed on a troll for blaming him for Bronny James‘ cardiac arrest … calling out the distasteful comment in a fiery interaction on social media.
It all went down shortly after TMZ Sports broke the news of Bronny’s medical emergency on Tuesday … with one user referencing Shareef’s own heart issues in an awful attempt to poke fun at the situation.
“Bronny started hanging with Shareef and now look,” the tweet read. “@SSJreef stay yo ass away from him he’s destined for greatness not overseas 😆”
Shaq‘s son — who had open-heart surgery to correct a right anomalous coronary artery in October 2018 — got wind of the jab … and he clapped back with a passionate response.
“That is very disrespectful of you to say,” Shareef said in a since-deleted tweet. “I’ve been around Bronny for a very long time before this happened … I’ll pray for you. You need help … sick that you would even say something like that 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️#dummy.”
Shareef — who’s great friends with Bronny and was recently spotted with the USC hooper out in L.A. earlier this month — added he doesn’t like to acknowledge negativity on social media … but this was something he couldn’t let go without a reply.
