Shaquille O’Neal gets back at Spice Adams

While discussing things about traveling, Nischelle Turner said she recently faced a strange situation. Because of some issues with the flights, Turner said the Detroit Airport authorities told her that they’d put her up in a ‘nice’ hotel. Shaq suggested that instead of worrying too much about the conditions, she should have just laid down.

“You don’t think I know how to stay in a dirty hotel?”, asked Shaq. Turner replied, “I’m sure you stayed in a couple of dirty hotels. It might have been by choice. Hourly rates, I’m just saying, hourly rates”. “Low blow”, Shaq exclaimed. Before Spice could go on about Shaq’s stays in these hotels and expose him, he got piped down by the former Laker.
