Shaq has responded to the suggestions he is the secret boyfriend of Instagram influencer Maria Ozuna Teachey, after she posted a photo which looked a lot like the former Lakers great.
On Tuesday, influencer Teachey posted a picture with a man and asked fans to guess who it was.
The man in the image towers over Teachey and has his hands are over her breasts. His face can’t bee seen in the photo. She captioned it, “Unapologetically us… Can y’all guess who feet? #loveyou.”
She has since taken the post down.
Of course, NBA Twitter had field day with the post and drew the conclusion that the man in the photo was Shaq.
But he has strongly denied it.
“Nope not the kid,” O’Neal commented on a post on WorldStar’s Instagram page, according to TMZ.
He also doubled down and made an Instagram post of his own, where he is posing with multiple woman in a similar pose to the photo in question.
“Is this my girlfriend too, trust me I’ll let yall know who my woman is,and by the way my woman name is Shaqirah,” he said.
In a follow-up post, he is mouthing the infamous quotes from the movie Training Day and captioned the post, “I will let yall know when I’m in love.”
However, Teachey has called out the former Lakers big man for lying.
In a screenshot of a caption – which no longer appears on her Instagram page but was released by The Shade Room – the influencer wrote: “Come on Kid, a time was had. Why he lie to yall (sic) man… I’m done.”
She also shared now-deleted photos and videos from inside Shaq’s hotel room, while another showed him apparently sleeping on a couch and the last video showed Shaq performing in front of a large crowd.
