Shaquille O’Neal has said that he is searching for the adorable Home Depot Girl who has gone viral, and he even did a freestyle about it.
The “Home Depot Girl,” Ariana Josephine, began trending on social media earlier this month for both her videos and her job, and Shaq took the time to DM Josephine after she received criticism for supposedly demeaning sex workers.
According to screenshots provided by Legion Hoops, O’Neal responded to Ariana, “Don’t let them people bother u.” Don’t read the comments because you’ll go insane from that kind of nonsense.
O’Neal acknowledged Josephine’s appreciation for his good comments and gave her the following response: “Have a great day tell all your boyfriends I said hello lol.”
Shaq has gone farther, though, and in a humorous Instagram video attempted to find the young Home Depot employee at her workplace while rapping about how he’s been slept on throughout his entire career.
The basketball icon took over the store, towering over the aisles while promoting his new DJ Diesel song, “I Know I Got It,” while donning Home Depot’s distinctive orange apron. “JUST LAUGH PEOPLE,” Shaq wrote in the post. “Have a great day.”
Most people, including Anderson, appeared to be enjoying the song.”OUTSTANDING,” followed by several fire emojis, was Paak’s reply.
The new song was released after Shaq ordered his detractors to “kiss the ring” in May and declared his comeback to hip-hop with the release of the song “King Talk.”
Shaq is no stranger to the rap scene; after being selected by the Orlando Magic in 1992, he signed with Jive Records and released his debut album Shaq Diesel the following year. He was the first NBA player to receive a platinum award.
O’Neal recorded four solo studio albums in all, the last two of which were made possible by a partnership with Interscope Records. In addition to providing soundtracks for films like Kazaam and Steel in the 1990s, he hasn’t released a studio album since 1998.
Shaquille O’Neal is branching out into production in addition to rapping once more. The NBA champion warned beatmakers and studio cooks about his impending visit in their territory in a TikTok video that was published earlier this month.
The four-time NBA champion can be seen creating his own music while wearing headphones on an airplane, indicating that he is already learning the trade.
Even though Shaq admitted that producing takes a lot of expertise and expressed his admiration for the effort they do, he seemed up for the challenge. The huge man wants to be the best in his area, but it doesn’t end there.
