NBA legend Charles Barkley on OnlyFans? Well, the 1993 NBA MVP has famously stayed away from social media due to its scope for negativity. However, at the age of 61, Chuck finally made his Instagram debut. With that, Sir Charles’ frenemy Shaquille O’Neal has just been handed another opportunity to tease his friend. The 4x NBA champion took Barkley’s IG debut as a chance to offer yet another odd piece of advice to his social media rookie friend.

To the fans’ horror though, the Los Angeles Lakers legend asked Chuck to “hashtag OnlyFans” on all of his posts. Sir Charles, who isn’t well aware of the ins and outs of social media appeared to have mistaken the famous OnlyFans site as “That’s only for your fans?” While their co-host, Kenny Smith tried to explain the situation to Charles Barkley, Shaq quickly interrupted and argued, “Kenny leave him alone. OnlyFans.”

We can only hope for an intervention from ‘The Jet’ or Ernie Johnson here. Otherwise, 7-foot prankster Shaquille O’Neal might just trick Sir Charles into launching an OnlyFans account.

Is Charles Barkley enjoying the social media fame?

The Philadelphia 76ers legend’s Instagram account ‘charleswbarkley’ has seen a rise in followers after he announced it in the latest episode of Inside the NBA.

However, speaking about the sudden decision to get a social account, Barkley also shared the reasoning behind it. He clarified that his social media accounts were solely for business purposes, not for fame or personal reasons. In fact, the first few of his posts are related to his own business Redmont Vodka, or his partnership deals.

It was quite surprising given how the legend has always been against social media and the impact it has on individuals. He once even went as far as to criticize the social media users. He explained that social media “is for losers” and he doesn’t wish to have a social account.
