“20 YO Models”: Shaquille O’Neal, Who Was Talking to “Every Girl” at 19, Living Flashy Bachelor Life at 51 as Per DJ Akademiks

The recent off-court activities of Shaquille O’Neal have garnered a lot of attention. From being spotted on an apparent date with model Brittany Renner to sneaking into the DMs of the viral Home Depot girl, Shaq has been quite active these days. These activities have fueled rumors and reignited interest in Shaq’s private life. With the spotlight now on O’Neal’s personal actions, DJ Akademiks brought the 51-year-old’s flashy lifestyle into the fray.

Shaquille O’Neal decided to call it quits with his ex-wife Shaunie Henderson in 2011. They were married for 9 years and their marriage was heavily publicized. The news of their separation shocked their fans, as the couple seemed to have a strong bond both on and off the court. Following their split, Shaq had been seen without many notable romantic affiliations, leading to speculations about his love life.

Shaquille O’Neal apparently lives quite the bachelor lifestyle

Ariana, the latest internet sensation who, although having a model-like appearance, rose to prominence for working at Home Depot, received a special shout-out from none other than Shaquille O’Neal. Worried about the hateful comments she had been getting, Shaq reached out to her. He asked Ariana to disregard the criticism and concentrate on the positive contributions she was making. And she thanked him on Instagram.

“When Shaq texts you, you know you’re doing something right, okay!” wrote Ariana alongside a screenshot of Shaq’s direct message (DM) on her Instagram stories. However, DJ Akademiks wasn’t too happy with Ariana posting the DM on her story. In a recent episode of his show, he exposed Shaq’s flashy bachelor life.

He said, “Why the f**k are you posting the DMs? Nobody want to see you post a DM with Shaq. Bro, we assume Shaq’s in the DM already. You feel me like come on. Shaq’s like 50. The Diesel he’s still out here f*****g these 20-year-old models.”

DJ Akademiks was of the opinion that she should have just moved on to the next man if she wasn’t interested in Shaq. He said, “Let him rock you don’t gotta expose them just keep it on the low if you don’t want to talk to him let’s move on to the next man. It is what it is, bro.” Moreover, Shaquille O’Neal himself has acknowledged his flashy lifestyle in his own book.

Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant lived very different lives

In his book, ‘Shaq Talks Back,’ Shaq mentioned the striking contrast between his and Kobe Bryant‘s lifestyle. Shaq wrote, “Kobe and I are very different people. Me, I’m wild. When I was nineteen, I was talking to every girl, I was buying every car.” Shaq proudly wore a gold necklace and splurged on a new Benz as soon as he got his first paycheck from the NBA. He gave the Benz glossy rims and a loud sound system. He wanted to show off his success when he went back to his old neighborhood, but Ron Harper noticed his amazing ability to “destroy very nice things.”
