The drama started when the alleged exchange between the four-time NBA champion and the “Manchild” singer hit social media. Unsurprisingly, the fake DMs went viral.

“Damn, baby. I would keep your farts in a cologne bottle and spray it on me every day,” O’Neal read.

“I can’t be horny and want some of that Snow Bunny kitty for myself?!” and “My meat would have you in the hospital,” other messages read.

After reading a couple of more messages, which included the fake Shaq telling Carpenter she “couldn’t handle big diesel,” the former Los Angeles Lakers star clarified he didn’t send those messages.

Shaquille O’Neal has shot his shot with multiple women over the years. He is not shy to do so in front of other people. But this time, he didn’t go for it with Carpenter.

The DMs were fake. The internet fell for them anyway. And Shaq set the record straight: “The Diesel has way more game than that.”
