Natalie Nunn Says Shaquille O’Neal Bought Her a “Just Because” Car in College But Insists They Never Dated [Video]

Natalie Nunn is making the rounds after a spicy appearance on Cam Newton’s “Funky Friday” podcast, where she dropped a major bombshell about her past connection to Shaquille O’Neal.

While the two were discussing Shaq’s history with other reality stars like Hoopz, Natalie casually interjected that the NBA legend was actually the one who put her in her very first set of wheels.

“Shaq bought me my first car,” Natalie revealed, instantly sending Cam into a state of disbelief. When the former NFL MVP immediately pressed her on whether they were romantically linked, Natalie laughed it off, insisting it was a strictly platonic gesture during her time as a student-athlete at USC.

According to Natalie, Shaq gifted her a 2004 Volkswagen New Beetle convertible, worth about $21,000, simply to support her while she was running track and playing soccer. Cam, however, wasn’t letting her off that easily. He gave Natalie a serious side-eye, noting that the math wasn’t quite adding up, especially since Shaq was married to Shaunie Henderson at the time.

“Something isn’t adding up,” Cam remarked, implying that a $21,000 “just because” gift to a college student usually comes with some fine print.

“I never dated Shaq,” she firmly stated.

While Shaq is known for his legendary generosity and random acts of kindness, Cam’s skepticism echoed what many on the timeline are thinking.
