After his marriage with his ex-wife, Shaunie Henderson, that lasted for 9 years, Shaq hadn’t been romantically involved with many ladies. However, most recently, he had a friendly exchange with the 21-year-old Ariana Josephine, or the ‘home-depot girl’ as termed by the internet. Worried about the hate she had been getting, Shaq reached out to the girl with words of encouragement.

Shaquille O’Neal then stepped out in search of the ‘Home-Depot girl.’ He even went to Home Depot with a sweet surprise awaiting her. Shaq donned the famous orange apron from Home Depot and explored the store in a hilarious Instagram video that has followers in stitches. Shaq promoted his new DJ Diesel song, ‘I Know I Got It,’ while showcasing his rapping abilities while towering over the aisles.

Amidst all the fun, King Akademiks, a frequent critic of Shaq did not have kind words in store for him.

DJ Akademik pointed out that Shaq managed to shoot a whole music video in home depot with an apron on. The critic commented on how it’s basically a Home Depot promotion video. He went from shooting a shot at a girl to cashing in cheques from the company the girl works at. He also commented on how great it looks,

“it’s a great brand partnership.

However, DJ Akademiks was enthralled by how down-bad Shaq was. He continued, “Listen, when a regular ni**a shoots his shot and your shot don’t hit, you move on to the next. You take your l in peace. He shoot his shot, I don’t know if it shot hit yet like really the ball’s still in the air. But before the ball could even land,  this ni**a already did some sh*t with Home Depot.”
