Shaquille O’Neal may be single and mingling, but influencer Sophie Rain is not exactly his type.
After a photo of the NBA legend surfaced from the OnlyFans model’s 21st birthday party, online chatter quickly turned the celebration into a headline-grabbing rumor. But Shaq made it crystal clear he’s not dating the much younger woman.
“I don’t [date] that young, but I will date your mom and give u a brother,” the 53-year-old icon clapped back in the comments of TikToker Noah Glenn Carter’s video, which implied the two were romantically involved.
The viral pic showed Rain posing in front of Shaq with her middle finger up, while wearing a see-through dress. “Look who I met,” she captioned it.
Not feeling the speculation, Shaq dropped more comments, which he later deleted.
“Stop tryna create rumors don’t make me slap you dude,” and “Your mom is hot tell her to hit me on my sky tell pager.”
This isn’t the first time Shaq has had to deny internet tales. Just last year, he shot down talk after a steamy mirror pic went viral featuring a man resembling him.
As for love, Shaq keeps it candid. After divorcing Shaunie Henderson in 2011, he admitted he might never remarry. “I’m gonna end up alone,” he said. “There’s no handbook on how to be the perfect man or perfect husband.”
