Shaquille O’Neal reacts to claims of sending ‘Horny’ DMs to Sabrina Carpenter

American former professional basketball player and sports analyst, Shaquille O’Neal has reacted to the rumors that he sent Sabrina Carpenter “horny” messages.

The NBA legend, while speaking in an episode of The Big Podcast, found humour in the texts, stating that he would never text in that manner.

Shaquille shut down speculations, clarifying that they are fake messages made up by  “youngsters” who are focused on “the algorithm and going viral.”

“First of all, ladies, the Diesel got way more game than that. I’m just saying. ‘Damn, baby, I would keep your farts in a cologne bottle and spray it on me every day,’” he said, quoting the fake texts. “‘Just jokes, I’m Shaq. What’s your name, baby?’ And Sabrina says, ‘I know who you are. You’re way too famous to be sending messages like that,”’ he stated.
