Here’s Why Shaq Is Going Viral
On Tuesday, September 17, Worldstar reposted a photo apparently shared by a woman with the Instagram profile @_1. filly. In the film, the woman posed in front of a mirror, wearing a beige shirt and jeans. Behind her was a muscular man whose face was cropped out of view.
“Without apologies, us,” the woman wrote in the caption of her photo. “…Can you guess whose foot it is?…”
In the caption of the repost, Worldstar added: “People on social media seem to think #Shaq has a new girlfriend 👀”
Then, about two hours after the repost, Shaq joined the outlet comments section and wrote: “No, not the child.”
Check out the film and Shaq’s response below.
At this point, Shaq took to his own Instagram account to share a reel of him posing with several women.
“Is this my girlfriend too? Trust me I will let you know who my wife is and by the way my wife name is Shaqirah,” he humorously wrote in the caption of the video.
The woman later returned to Instagram to share now-deleted photos and videos seemingly showing the time she shared with Shaq. One video showed the woman inside Shaq’s hotel room, while another showed him seemingly sleeping on a couch. Additionally, a final video showed Shaq performing in front of a large crowd.

Instagram user @lexitelevision wrote: “I said it once and I say it again. 2024 is the year of the exhibition.”
While Instagram user @melinated_maven added, “Congrats, you made it to the Shaderoom and Worldstar while simultaneously losing your bag. Goofy.”
Instagram user @darbidorleia wrote: “Listen to what Shaq said, ladies. He said I’m gonna let you know who my woman is. Translation: Ma’am. If he don’t claim you, you ain’t his woman. You were just a moment. Respectfully let that MAN claim you publicly!”
While Instagram user @miamitip305 added, “How old is she?”
Instagram user @fajrmom_hawa wrote: “Dude, dude, dude. I won the lottery once and you won’t even see me again, let alone hear about it 🤣🤣🤣”

Additionally, Shaq’s ex-girlfriend Moniece Slaughter wrote:
“I told you guys. It was his feet and you can always identify him by our matching tattoos. His is on his hand. It says SUPREME 🤷🏾♀️”
