Bobbi asked Shaq if he always wears his sunglasses, to which the Diesel said, “Yes.” She continued by asking if he wore them even while taking a shower. To this, he replied that he does and then said that he “doesn’t really shower“. Bobbi was shocked by this answer and exclaimed, “Ever?” And Shaq answered, “Yes”. This made Bobbi say that she could tell and that it was smelling in the room. Shaq said, “I smell like roses, right?”

Then he made the revelation that he likes wearing old ladies perfumes. Bobbi then asked if Shaq took it from an old lady or not. To this, he replied, “My robbery days are over… I got it from a store,” he said, wondering if she meant he stole it from someone.

Then came the most hilarious part of the interview, where she clarified her question. Bobbi asked if Shaq met up with an old lady to get it, to which he said, “The diesel doesn’t do old ladies yet”. It’s been 12 years since Shaq legally separated from his ex-wife, Shaunie Henderson.
