Basketball star-turned-rapper and actor SHAQUILLE O'NEAL has been told to turn in his sheriff's badge for using vulgar language during a much-publicised night out in New York.
The Phoenix Suns star poked fun at former teammate Kobe Bryant during a freestyle rap onstage at a New York club on Sunday night (22Jun08).
Footage from his impromptu performance was leaked onto the Internet, and now the volunteer police officer has been reprimanded by officials.
O'Neal has since apologised for his rap attack, during which he blamed Bryant for his own marital problems and chuckled, "Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes."
But police officials are unhappy with his 'off-duty' actions, and they've asked the sports star to give up his badge.
