The fake headline then showed the alleged messages that were exchanged between the two. O’Neal began to read the alleged message he sent the singer.

"Damn, baby I would keep your farts in a cologne bottle and spray it on me every day," O’Neal read. "Just jokes. I’m Shaqs. What’s your name baby? And Sabrina says, ‘I know who you are. You’re way too famous to be sending me messages like that.’ Shaq, ‘I can’t be horny and want some of that snow bunny kitty for myself. You’re being rude for no reason. You can’t handle Big Diesel any way. …"

O’Neal made clear he didn’t send any messages like that to Carpenter or anyone.

"First of all ladies, the Diesel got way more game than that, I’m just saying," he said.

O’Neal has been open about his love life, especially the marriages he’s had in the past.
