Sabrina Carpenter is a popular American singer whose rise to stardom was astronomical. She broke through pop culture on the charts with hits like Espresso and Please Please Please, as well as through a high-profile romance with actor Barry Keoghan that fizzled out due to rumors of infidelity on his part.In the latest news about the multi-talented performer, Sabrina Carpenter’s name has appeared in the news because of an alleged interaction with one of her famous fans. Viral reports first surfaced that NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal slid into the musician’s DM’s earlier this month, before Shaq took to his The Big Podcast to address the rumors head-on. On the March 20 episode, the all-time great center began with the following:“First of all, ladies, the Diesel got way more game than that. I’m just saying.”Despite Shaq’s attempts to clear the air, the fake message thread certainly attracted a lot of attention online, including from blogger Perez Hilton, who claimed:“Shaq has some explaining to do!”He added:"If you haven’t seen ‘em, it’s not Shaq congratulating the pop star for her success or him confessing his favorite song of hers… it’s a series of absolutely FIlTHY s*xts!"Sabrina Carpenter has not spoken further on the matter for her part, as it seems both parties are content to move on from this debacle.Sabrina Carpenter: Content of DMs from Shaq, and moreWhile the legitimacy of the exchange between Sabrina Carpenter and Shaq is in question, the messages themselves are still eye-raising nonetheless. O’Neal even read them aloud on his podcast:“Damn, baby, I would keep your f*rts in a cologne bottle and spray it on me every day. Just jokes, I’m Shaq. What’s your name, baby?”Carpenter replied:“I know who you are. You’re way too famous to be sending messages like that.”The next message in the staged text thread from Shaq was far more personal and wildly inappropriate:“I can’t be h*rny and want some of that snow bunny kitty for no reason. You can’t handle Big Diesel anyway. My meat would have you in the hospital.”Meanwhile, social media users have also been speculating what guests Sabrina Carpenter may eventually bring out for her upcoming Coachella set. In 2024, the special guests on her first weekend set included Karol G and Justin Bieber. On weekend 2, Carpenter famously brought out Norah Jones.For more on this story or other news, check out Soap Central.
