Shaq has been a busy man as of late. For instance, just yesterday, the former NBA superstar was in Sonoma, California where he got to DJ after the NASCAR race. Overall, it was a big celebration out there as Martin Truex Jr. won the race in a dominant fashion. However, on social media, fans were talking about the legend in a whole different light. Ultimately, this was due to some recent DMs that were leaked between himself and a woman named Ariana Josephine. For those who don't know, she is the viral Home Depot girl.
Josephine gained fame when she took to social media with a photo of herself in her Home Depot outfit. She made it clear that she enjoys working this job and would never start an OnlyFans. This received a ton of support, however, it quickly devolved after she made some unsavory comments about sex workers. Subsequently, Shaq entered her DMs to tell her that she is doing nothing wrong. "Don't let them people bother u," he wrote. He then said to have a great day and to let her boyfriends know he says "hi."

Shaq Speaks Out
Of course, a lot of people took this as Shaq trying to shoot his shot at the young woman. However, he quickly made sure to dispel these comments. "Just uplifting people that's what the diesel do baby I uplift people, google me," he wrote in DJ Akademiks' comments section. Clearly, he was a bit annoyed with everyone trying to project onto him, and he let those feelings be known. Ultimately, it is good to see Shaq standing up for himself in these situations. Although, there is no doubt that Home Depot girl is getting even more clout than before.
Of course, Shaq has a bit more time on his hands now that TNT is done covering the NBA for the year. The Finals are always on ESPN, much to the dismay of a lot of fans. Regardless, this is a time when Diesel can do whatever he wants. That includes DM'ing women online, at his own discretion.
