Shaquille O’Neal and Joel Embiid have their differences, but both agreed on the ‘leak’ situation. Even Charles Barkley disapproved of the public airing of the locker room’s dirty laundry. So, when asked about any situation during Shaq’s playing time, his podcast guest didn’t hold back and criticized ‘The Most Dominant Ever.’ But in the end, the 4x NBA Champion also left a message for anybody who broke the sacred code.

The next day, all of the details from the meeting were in the meeting and Embiid was very upset that somebody snitched and leaked.” Adam Lefkoe, co-host of the podcast, laid the scene regarding the unhappy situation from the 76ers locker room. Naturally, he proceeded to ask Shaquille O’Neal about his situation, but Chico Bean interjected. “Of course yeah, that’s how we found out this was eating McRibs in the locker room.”

That’s how we found yeah that somebody leaked that Shaq in the locker room grilling hot dogs grilling glizzies before the game. Offering Italian Polish sausages, back there with an air fry before they came out. Cooking chicken thighs before the game yeah, that’s how we found out diet was fu–ed up. They leaked it.” The millionaire comedian continued his roasts and had Shaquille O’Neal in splits the entire time.

Chico Bean also claimed that LSU alum also had a McFlurry in the locker room. And mimicked The Big Aristotle for having an ice cream machine in the house.

“‘Oh I own one. Yeah, I have one in my house I made this before I came.'” Interestingly, for the longest time, the 3x Finals MVP never claimed to follow any diet plans religiously.
