Toosi Explains Himself After Revealing Shaq DMed His Girl

by

Shaquille O’Neal caused a stir on social media when he flaunted his considerably younger girlfriend. Rapper Toosii harbors some animosity for the NBA star. Recent photos of Shaq and his 21-year-old girlfriend enjoying a ton of fun in Spain may have set Toosii off and reminded him of a run-in with the NBA Hall of Famer. He accused Shaq of making advances against his girlfriend Samaria Davis around eighteen months prior, sending her a direct message asking, “Can I have that baby?” he has now clarified the situation.

Toosii had already uploaded evidence of the interaction, which he obviously thought was inappropriate and disrespectful to him. A few months after Toosii and Samaria’s baby Ezrah was born, in November 2022, the DM was sent. He did not feel Shaq’s response to a photo of the mother and child. Now he is backtracking, saying he misunderstood the DM and took it out of context. He is still confused by the situation, judging from his response.

Toosi Goes Into Detail About Shaq Dming His Girl

Now Toosi says he posted the DM because he thought Shaq was talking about his child. He implied it was Shaq trying to holler at his girl but now says that was never the case. He clarified that he posted it because he thought it was weird that Shahq mentioned his child. Toosi sasy men are going to DM your girl, so he isn’t tripping over Shaq trying to get with her. He then weirdly says he doesn’t want Shaq to get with her because he is a giant man, and his girl is very tiny. He may have got some pushback and tried to save face. His entire clarification is pretty confusing, as he clearly thought Shaq was after his woman. 

Shaq’s previous relationships have been on the news this week. His ex-girlfriend, Moneice Slaughter, detailed the big man’s cheating habits, revealing he cheated on her with Rocsi Diaz and Hoopz. His ex-wife Shaunie Henderson revealed in her book that she doesn’t know if she truly loved her ex-husband, who also allegedly cheated on her multiple times. Overall, Shaq is a ladies’ man, and it wouldn’t be surprising if his DM to Toosi’s girl was him breaking the ice.

Shaq Blasts Shannon Sharpe Over Response To His MVP Comments

by

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic just won his third MVP, cementing him as one of the best players ever. In Jokic’s interview after receiving the award from the TNT basketball crew, Shaq made an interesting comment to the Joker. Shaq told Jokic he thought Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should have won MVP. The Big Aristotle says he didn’t mean any disrespect, but it was still an awkward and probably unnecessary moment. Shannon Sharpe, like many others, took issue with Shaq’s comments.

Sharpe responded to Shaq on his Nightcap podcast with Chad Ochocinco. The ESPN personality said, “Shaq should have five MVPs.” He continued, saying, “He sees a guy like Nikola Jokic that’s not as dominant as him, gets three (MVP awards) in four years, I think a part of Shaq is envious of that.” Shannon then said that Shaq’s credentials make it hard to put him in the all-time player conversations because of his work ethic. Now, He has responded big time on Instagram by throwing some serious heat toward Shannon Sharpe.

Shaq Throws Shots At Shannon Sharpe

Shaq starts by saying his comments about defending SGA to Jokic weren’t disrespectful. He then says Shannon needs to be a top-10 player at his position to even speak on Superman. He then says Shannon Sharpe relies on clickbait and gossip to get where he is and that he is ultimately jealous of him. The TNT commentator lists his credentials and emphasizes that he is worth more than the ESPN talking head. All in all, he is not playing with Shannon Sharpe. His comments were always going to cause controversy, so the question is, why would he say that to Jokic anyway?

Shannon Sharpe will probably be responding soon. The back and forth between himself and Shaq is almost certainly not over. Sharpe is known to deliver some serious body blows if you push him. He may be a little jealous of Jokic, but he may just have felt like he needed to defend SGA. Whatever the case, Jokic has established himself as one of the best bigs ever. Overall, Shaq is definitely someone who would try to rain on his parade a little bit, being a fellow NBA great.

Moniece Slaughter Says Shaq Cheated On Her With Rocsi Diaz and Hoopz

by

Moniece Slaughter, star of Love & Hip Hop Hollywood, is known for disclosing most, if not all, of her personal secrets. She has spoken in the past about her purported one-year romance with Shaquille O’Neal. She alleged that Shaq told her to “kill yourself” over text. In the same interview, she also described intimate things about their relationship, like describing what sex with Shaq was like and giving her take on his “size.” Now Slaughter has thrown some more accusations in Shaq’s way. She says that during her relationship with him, Shaq cheated with multiple women. 

Moniece alleges that Shaq cheated on her with multiple women during their four year-long relationship. In her interview on the show “Reality with the King,” she went into more detail about her relationship with Shaq. She also named names of those whom Shaq was cheating with.

Moniece Slaughter Details Shaq’s Cheating

Slaughter described the relationship as “a mess.” The host asked if Shaq was cheating on her, and she said, “Yes, a lot.” She then knew that she had gotten dumped when Rocsi Diaz popped up with Shaq on the internet. Moneice Slaughter says that in 2012, she got matching tattoos together with Shaq and planned to spend New Year’s Eve together. Then Shaq popped up in the Bahamas with Hoopz, who had the same tattoo she had just gotten from Shaq. She says there was another woman after Rocsi, but she can’t even remember who it was as she is over the situation. 

Moneice Says Shaq would always complain about her “mouth” and her speaking mind. But in her eyes, he did not like that she would call him out for cheating on her. She says Shaq made it clear their relationship was exclusive, but obviously, he didn’t really mean it applied to him. The reality TV star is no stranger to messy situations. Overall, it seems like her relationship with Shaq was very messy.

Shaq Responds After His Ex-Wife Says She Doesnt Know If She Ever Loved Him

by

In her new book, Shaunie Henderson revealed that she was never really sure if she loved her ex-husband Shaquille O’Neal unconditionally. Henderson wrote about her relationship with the basketball star in her book Undefeated: Changing the Rules and Winning On My Own Terms. Shaunie married her current spouse in 2022 and adopted his last name. Henderson and O’Neal had four children together and were married from 2002 until 2011, but according to Henderson’s book, she preferred the lifestyle the marriage offered above the guy she married.

Henderson and Shaq got together in 1999, and they were married in 2002. In 2007, O’Neal filed for divorce, but they quickly got back together. In 2009, they refiled for divorce, and it was granted in 2011. Since then, she has remarried. Furthermore, In May 2022, she will wed pastor Keion Henderson. Shaq has had numerous partners since he got divorced and is currently part of Inside the NBA on TNT. Now, Shaq has responded to his ex-wife’s question of loving him on Instagram.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Henderson wrote about Shaq, “Looking back, I don’t know that I was ever really in love with the man, but I was in love with the idea of being married to the man I had a family with.” She continued, “I was in love with the idea of building a life together. I truly did enjoy spending time with him. [NBA] road trips allowed me to be with my husband and experience the NBA life for a little while.” Shaq responded to the quote on Instagram with a sad post saying, “I understand…I wouldn’t have been in love with me either. Wishing you all the best….”

Shaq was known for his infidelity while the pair were married. Shaq has previously apologized for his adultery throughout their marriage, and Henderson reportedly defended him somehow in her new book. Overall, Shaunie Henderson is just reflecting on a significant part of her life in her new book. Shaq is also dealing with his past, and it’s probably a lot for the big fella. All in all, the post on Instagram is kind of sad to see.

Dave East Ranked His All-Time Best Ballers Who Rap, And Has A Very Short List Of Rappers Who Can Actually Ball

by

There has long been a lot of crossover between the basketball and hip-hop world. We regularly see artists putting in work in the gym with top hoops trainers and even trying their hand at pro ball, while there is a long history of NBA players hopping in the studio to put out a rap album. As 2 Chainz — who played basketball at Alabama State — once eloquently explained to Dime, a lot of rappers and basketball players come from the same places.

“I know for a lot of Blacks, we thought that our only way to get out of the hood was either rappin’ or playing basketball,” 2 Chainz said. “So it has a common denominator for me and people who have a low socioeconomic status for a background. It kind of feels like you have to have a sport or some kind of other skill set, you dig, to get your mama a house. So that’s why we all want to play basketball, and that’s why all basketball players want to rap.”

However, there are levels to success in that crossover realm, and plenty of debate as to who has done the best when dipping a toe into that other world. On the most recent episode of Uproxx’s “Fresh Pair,” Dave East joined Just Blaze and Katty Customs and the conversation turned to hoops (5:00 mark of the above video). East played college ball at Richmond and Towson before becoming a hip-hop artist, and as such, he’s well-equipped to offer his list of the best ballers who rap and rappers who ball — noting there aren’t many that can really hoop.

“Ballers to rap? I would say, gotta throw Shaq in there. Shaq had a feature with Biggie, so you always gotta throw Shaq in. Shaq was hard, he was probably one of the first ones,” East said. “A.I. I feel like a lot of people don’t put Iverson in there, but I remember the “40 Bars” and all that. I remember Iverson, you feel me. Dame Lillard, to me now, in this generation right now, I think Dame got it as far as a baller that rap.

“Rappers to ball? Me. Yeah, I’m gonna put myself on the top of that list. I gotta get in shape. I feel like a lot of them rapper basketball dudes, they do it now. They got famous, they got a name, and that’s like their hobby in their free time. Like, I really used to play basketball. Before I ever wrote a rhyme or ever really thought about this, I was in the park or in the gym. I was really playing ball. When I see them lists, I laugh. I really used to do that. I need 30 days to get in shape. I got real footage on a real Division 1 program. Go find another rapper, I think 2 Chainz played D1. But it wasn’t too many of them that was. There’s a few of ‘em that nice. Salute the ones that are.”

It’s safe to say East isn’t very impressed by the videos of artists in the lab with Chris Brickley and other hoops trainers, but he does recognize he would need a month to train to get back in actual hoops shape.

Shaq And Kenny Got A Laugh Out Of TNT Playing Kendrick Lamar’s Drake Diss ‘Euphoria’ At Halftime

by

TNT

Wednesday night was a big one in the Mavs-Clippers series, as the two teams met in Los Angeles for a pivotal Game 5 (I’m legally obligated as a sportswriter to call it that) with the series tied 2-2. The first half was a back-and-forth battle until the Mavs went on a late second quarter run to pull ahead by 10 at the halftime break on TNT. Once the halftime buzzer sounded, it was time for Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson to break down that half of basketball in the studio.

However, before they could get to that, TNT’s production team decided to tap into the dominant story of the day in the world of pop culture, playing Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss that he released earlier in the day, “Euphoria”, in the transition from the booth in L.A. to the studio in Atlanta. Only half of the desk realized what was being played in the background as Ernie did his lead-in, with Shaq and Kenny both chuckling about how they were suddenly in the middle of the rap beef.

The least surprising thing ever is that Shaq (literally a DJ) and Kenny (a man who still listens to new music) would recognize the Drake diss playing while Ernie (old, white) and Chuck (listens to country) would be oblivious. Shaq and Kenny got a kick out of it, with Jet joking that they were inserting themselves in the middle of the rap beef and they needed to play Drake’s “Push Ups” to stay neutral in the battle between the Los Angeles and Toronto artists.

In the comments section over at Hollywood Unlocked, many expressed sympathy for Brown.

Shaq Claims He Wasn’t Flirting With Ice Spice In Viral IG Post From Super Bowl

by

It is crazy to think the Super Bowl was only one month ago. It was a thrilling game, being one of the few in the history of the NFL to go to overtime. However, outside of the action on the field, there were a lot of other funny subplots going on during that weekend. Shaq and Ice Spice were two celebrities not named Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce making big headlines that evening. The two respective superstars were seen photographed together in Taylor’s suite during halftime. Shaq wound up posting the picture of him, Spice, and Swift with a caption that went viral.

“Ice Spice so dam fine,” the former NBA legend wrote. Of course, fans ran with that, speculating that the Big Diesel was shooting his shot. However, according to TMZ Sports the opposite is true. In one of Shaq’s recent episodes of the Big Podcast With Shaq, he cleared up the rumors as to why he actually posted it, caption and all.

Shaq Was Just Being Nice To Ice Spice

“The reason why I put out the post with Ice Spice, not ’cause I was trying to flirt, but I didn’t really blow her off, but I just wanted to show her some respect too.” He continued, “That’s why I put the post up because I was in there and it was all about, ‘Oh, Shaq met Taylor’ and [Ice Spice] was in the picture.” Furthermore, he knows how he flirts with women, and this was not that. “I don’t flirt like that. “Just ’cause I say ‘hi’ don’t mean I’m tryna slide in the DMs.”

What are your thoughts on Shaq saying he was not flirting with Ice Spice in his picture with her during the Super Bowl? Do you think he was telling the truth, why or why not? How do you think the rapper took the post? Was this the funniest moment from Super Bowl weekend? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Shaq Has One Major Issue With Zion Williamson’s Recent Dunk Contest Comments

by

Shaq has expressed his disappointment in Zion Williamson’s recent comments about participating in the dunk contest if he is named an All-Star. For the Hall of Famer, Williamson didn’t express enough desire to be named an All-Star. “You have to see it, Zion. When I make the All-Star team, yes. All that if talk, it’s just telling me that you’re not fully confident in yourself. Which is ok, he’s still a young player. But at some point, you have to say — like I said in Vegas — ‘this is my league’,” Shaq said.

Williamson is a two-time All-Star, appearing at the midseason event in 2021 and 2023. Williamson is averaging 22/5.5/5.2 this season but was not named an All-Star in a crowded field across both conferences. The Pelicans are 37-25 and fifth in the Western Conference.

Shaq Shows Zion Williamson No Mercy

However, as Shaq himself alluded to, it’s not the first time that he has laid into the 2019 first-overall pick. Shaq and Charles Barkley had no time for Williamson’s poor showing against the Lakers in the semifinals of the In-Season Tournament last December. “Does not run hard — it’s not a diss, this is gonna be a lesson from one great big man to another guy that can be a great. Does not run hard. I had the same problem my first, second year — I thought I was running hard. Charles talks about this all the time, my talent’s gonna get me 20. When I start going to 20, 30, and 40, it’s because I started doing certain things,” Shaq said.

However, the Hall of Fame big man wasn’t finished “He doesn’t create easy points for himself. I saw a couple times when he had a couple times at the basket, he don’t seal, right? He doesn’t demand the ball … and he doesn’t have that look. Like, I’m not the greatest athlete ever, but I know a look when I see it. In every sport, I know a look. Tiger Woods had that look, Jack Nicklas had that look. He just doesn’t have that look. And he doesn’t rebound. He does not rebound,” he continued.

Jay-Z & 50 Cent Reebok Collabs Teased By Shaq And Allen Iverson

by

Sneaker heads were pretty excited by recent news out of Reebok. The company made the bold move of getting some NBA legends to step into major positions in their basketball division. Shaquille O’Neal returned to the company as president of basketball with Allen Iverson as his VP. The pair appeared on a recently released episode of the Complex show Sneaker Shopping. While on the show they delivered some news that fans of early 2000s sneakerheads should be pretty excited about.

In the episode the pair discuss their desire to bring back some of the collaborations with rappers that Reebok did. The host of the show specifically brought up Jay-Z recently pulling up to the Super Bowl in his own Reebok collab shoes from 2003. He gives Shaq and AI the opportunity to take credit for that viral moment. “Of course, so 50, when I call you, holla, JAY-Z, we’ll be calling ya. We definitely want to give the fans and the consumer what they want, but we’re also gonna be coming with new styles and new technologies. But, shout out to JAY-Z, shout out to 50 Cent. We definitely will be having a conversation with them very soon,” Shaq responded. Check out the full new episode of Sneaker Shopping below.

Jay-Z And 50 Cent Reebok Collabs Could Be Returning

Over the weekend, Jay-Z popped up in discussions about the new ScHoolboy Q album Blue Lips. That’s because he got the chance to listen to the record in advance of it’s release and the meetup was posted to Instagram. Some of Q’s Top Dawg contemporaries like SZA and Isaiah Rashad pulled up in the comments of the post with some jokes about their situation. SZA in particular was happy for Q, but wondered why she’d never got the chance to play her music for Jay.

What do you think of Reebok potentially bringing back Jay-Z and 50 Cent’s collabs? Do you think bring in Shaq and AI to work in the basketball department was a good move? Let us know in the comment section below.
