Shaquille O’Neal shut down rumors that he’s involved with Sophie Rain, a Christian OnlyFans star, after they were partying together in Las Vegas for her 21st birthday last weekend.
The NBA legend — who was DJ’ing at Encore Beach Club, where Rain sat on his lap in a now-viral photo — commented on a video of TikToker Noah Glenn Carter. In it, Carter alleged “people are not happy with Shaq” because the Hall of Famer is 32 years older than Rain.
“I don’t [date] that young but I will date your mom and give u a brother,” Shaq wrote in the comments of Carter’s video.
“My mom said no,” Carter replied.
According to TMZ, Shaq added in a since-deleted comment, “stop tryna create rumors don’t make me slap you dude. your mom is hot tell her to hit me on my sky tell pager.”
Rain — who said she brought in $43.4 million in online earnings last year — made waves when she shared photos and videos of her dancing in the DJ booth with Shaq.
“I met Shaq in Vegas and he brought me on stage!!!” Rain wrote. “So so cool!!!”
One photo in particular showed the internet personality — who told The Post she is a virgin and saving herself for marriage — sitting on Shaq’s lap as she flipped her middle finger in the air.
The Encore Beach Club Instagram posted photos from Rain’s party, including snapshots of O’Neal DJ’ing — and bottle girls holding signs that read, “HBD Sophie.”
The “Inside the NBA” star has been spinning at Encore since 2019.
Rain garnered attention from her massive online following, and presence on OnlyFans — a subscription-based social media platform, where users can sell and/or purchase original content.
She has 13.4 million followers on TikTok and 8 million more on Instagram.
During an August appearance on the “Armchair Expert” podcast, the four-time NBA champion explained that he swore off clubs unless he is working.
“I’ve never been into weed. Hookah,” Shaq said. “No [it doesn’t give me a buzz], it enables me to follow the routine of sit your ass down. When I was young and dumb and I lost my family — I lost my family by doing too much, being out, being in too many places. But now I don’t go to clubs, I don’t go to gentleman’s clubs.
“If you see me in the club it’s because I am DJing. I gave myself a lifetime ban that stuff. But I am not a mute. I don’t just work and go home. I allow myself to go to a hookah bar.”
O’Neal and his ex-wife Shaunie Henderson share four children together: sons Shareef and Shaqir and daughters Amirah and Me’arah.
He has a daughter, Taahirah, from an earlier relationship. Henderson’s son Myles, also from a previous relationship, later took on O’Neal’s surname.
