Shaquille O’Neal recently responded to a rumor that was floating around about his love life, and his response was as entertaining as you might imagine. When he stopped by the It’s Giving Podcast with Sarah Fontenot, Shaq’s massive physicality seemed to be counterbalanced by his huge sense of humor. Fontenot, who suggested she would like the atmosphere to be relaxed, joked about being barefoot. But Shaq was ready to make a laugh out of the moment. “I need you to back up. I don’t want to arouse my four white women,” he joked, deftly mocking the claim that he has four live-in girlfriends.

Comedian Jess Hilarious, who jokingly held court on social media and infamously referenced Shaquille O’Neal’s supposed ‘household dynamic’ recently. As many fans embraced the story, Shaq took it in stride. He, this time, seemed to have enjoyed the silliness of it all, at least, reminding those of us why he is perhaps the most dateable dude in sports and entertainment. But underneath the punch lines, the former Lakers star did open up about his views on relationships. So when it comes to the potential of remarrying, Shaq didn’t hold back on sharing his fears. “I’m really afraid of marriage,” he said, noting how many relationships fail to build a true connection.

In his view, you need time to know a person well enough before making a lifelong commitment, which surely hits home with many. But when the time question came one more time, Shaq fell back on the humor that has endeared him to fans. “I don’t know. Now, I got four white girls,” he joked again, leaving listeners in stitches, and the rest just wanting to know more. With charm and giggles, he smothered the speculation, showing that even in the thickets of gossip, he is effortlessly unfazed.

Remy Ma is not one to shy away from what’s on her mind, and her recent performance was a testament to that. The Bronx rap legend joined forces with Trey Songz and Connie Diiamond for a high-energy performance of their “Ghetto & Ratchet (Remix)” on Thursday night. But it wasn’t only the high-energy delivery that was making mouths move in the crowd, it was one specific lyric that has the internet buzzing. Remy Ma says in the OG song, “Fk wantin’ ya na, I take him.” * But she added a little more bite to her latest performance, audaciously changing it up to, “If I want ya n**a, I’ll take him.” *

The energy instantly shifted in the room as soon as those words slipped from her lips, and fans were left wondering. Rumors and speculation about infidelity have surrounded it for months as the couple’s relationship came under public scrutiny. Although nothing has been officially confirmed, the tension has been impossible to miss. And now, with this lyric change, plenty of fans are convinced Remy Ma is doing just that. The reactions poured in on social media. Some fans were quick to read between the lines, interpreting the lyric as an obvious shot.

“Y’all know that was the line in that song right 👀,” wrote one user, while others directly questioned the intention of the performance. On the contrary, there are also some who couldn’t help but root her on, praising the confidence and fearlessness that Remy Ma displayed on stage. However, the biggest takeaway, perhaps, is that Remy Ma is still committed to her brash persona. Be it back through barb-laden lyrics or just the commanding way she runs a crowd, she knows how to seize a moment. Remy Ma ain’t losing her status as one of hip-hop’s wildest mouths.
