NBA favorite, Shaquille O’Neal, has made headlines again for his antics. Consequentially, many in the basketball circles were overwhelmed after the Lakers icon was spotted with a 31-year-old social media influencer on what seemed like a date. Just days after the incident, the big man made waves again by sliding into the DMs of the viral home depot girl. It, however, wasn’t for any reason other than Shaq just being Shaq.

The Lakers legend ended his 9-year-long marriage with Shaunie O’Neal in 2011. Since then, the 4x NBA champion has rarely been spotted with other women. Shaq’s recent outing with a 20-year-younger model, however, grabbed the NBA world’s attention, as the model has an affiliation with a Charlotte Hornets star.

Shaquille O’Neal surprises the home depot girl with a special message

The latest internet sensation, Ariana, went viral for working at Home Depot despite having the looks of a model. While people showered her with love for her hard work, several internet bullies trolled Ariana for her unique approach. Above all, the viral girl caught the attention of Shaquille O’Neal, as he went ahead to give a special Uncle Shaq advice to the young content creator.

Ariana considered the shout-out from Shaq as a validation for her budding career as a social media influencer as she took to IG stories with a special note. She shared a screenshot of Shaq’s DM and wrote, “When Shaq text you know you doing something right okay!” Shaq, concerned with the online bullies, texted her to ignore the hateful comments and ended the conversation with a slight banter.

He wrote, “Have a great day tell all your boyfriends I said hello lol.” However, O’Neal was called out by several fans for sliding into her DMs but he had a great response to that as well.
