I was living here in my own little perfect world and just blew my spot and they all got mad.” Apparently, that’s not the end of the heartbreaking story.”They block me…I’m sitting here alone.” As he specified, now he is all alone, and there are no white women in his crib.

A few months ago, Jess Hilarious joked about having allegedly seen “four white women” in Shaq’s house. Both are good friends and she revealed on The Breakfast Club that she had gone to his house only to find out about the 53-year-old emulating a polyamorous relationship much like the one Ne-Yo! “Nah, I don’t know if I’ma go back or not. Two of ’em was bad, the other ones, they were getting there. But I couldn’t believe, four white women. […] Man, I could not believe it. […] I might not be invited back.”

Even then, the 4x NBA champion hilariously dismissed this, stating that those women left him alone. But that’s not the only time when Shaq’s love life has been in the news.

A viral photo and a back-and-forth led to Shaquille O’Neal hilariously dropping his partner’s name

Back in September, a social media influencer from Philadelphia shared a mirror selfie. In the photo, she could be seen posing in front of the mirror with the hands of a muscular man on her shoulders. The physical appearance of the man arguably matched that of the seven-footer, but no one could tell, as the influencer had deliberately cropped the man’s face. “Unapologetically us …. Can yall guess who feet?” read the caption of the now deleted post.

After Shaq had denied knowing the woman, Teachey again took to her Instagram Story to post a video of Shaq. This time, the Lakers legend was living in a room with her and even sleeping on her couch. However, Shaquille O’Neal did not break his stance. He added a video compilation of many pictures in which he had the same pose but with different women than the one that Teachey had posted. Plus, the caption should give you a clear indication of the relationship status.

“Is this my girlfriend too, trust me, I’ll let y’all know who my woman is, and by the way my woman name is Shaqirah.” One can easily understand that the name is a playful take on his own name. So, what a wild couple of months it has been for Shaq. In one instance, there were rumors about him dating one woman, which he denied. In another, he was very much onboard about 4 women being in his house. Later, he joked about all of them leaving him, since the secret came out.
