Here’s Why Shaq Is Going Viral
On Tuesday, September 17, Worldstar retweeted a photo shared by a woman using the Instagram handle @_1. full. In the snap, a woman poses in front of a mirror, wearing a tan shirt and jeans. Behind him was a burly man whose face was invisible.
“Unapologetically us,” the woman wrote in the caption of her photo. “…Can you guess who is walking?…”
In the caption of the repost, Worldstar added: “People on social media seem to think #Shaq has a new girlfriend 👀”
Then, about two hours after the repost, Shaq took to the outlet’s comment section and wrote: “no kid”

At that time, Shaq took to his own Instagram account to share a reel of him posing with various women.
“Is this my girlfriend too, believe me I will know who my woman is, and my woman’s name is Shaqirah,” he humorously captioned the video.
Later, the woman returned to Instagram to share now-deleted photos and videos showing her time with Shaq. One video shows a woman in Shaq’s hotel room, while another shows him sleeping on a couch. Furthermore, the final video shows Shaq performing in front of the crowd.

Instagram user @darbidorleia wrote, “Hear what Shaq has to say ladies. He said I will tell you who my woman is. Translation: Mrs. If they don’t claim you – you are not a woman. You only have a moment. Respectfully, Let the man claim you!”
As Instagram user @miamitip305 added, “How old is he?”
Instagram user @fajrmom_hawa wrote, “Old man. I got one chance to hit the jackpot and you will never see or hear about it again 🤣🤣🤣”

“Tell you. That’s his leg and you can identify him by the matching tattoo. His hand is on his hand. It says SUPREME 🤷🏾♀️”

Shaquille O’Neal’s mother recently made headlines
Shaquille O’Neal isn’t the only one whose family has made headlines in recent months. As The Shade Room previously reported, in June, her mother, Lucille, appeared alongside Sonya Curry on ‘Sway In The Morning.’
During her appearance, Lucille was asked to reflect on meeting Shaq’s ex-wife, Shaunie Henderson, for the first time. In response, Lucille explained that it was “hard” to see her son “out of a relationship.”
“And somehow you can feel, maybe it’s not the right relationship,” she explains.
As the conversation unfolded, Lucille and Sonya went viral for their contrasting responses to their exes and their children’s romantic relationships.
