Rihanna Tickets

Emails between Shaquille O’Neal and Newsweek reporter Allison Samuels revealed that he has a thing for Rihanna.

According to The Urban Daily the messages are back from when the basketball legend was with ex-wife Shaunie Nelson in late 2008, the star writes to Samuels that he “wants” Rihanna.

Samuels then replies O’Neal saying that the singer was much too young for him writing: “She is just legal… and you said you didn’t like that!!!!!”

But the correspondence shows that O’ Neal was not deterred by the age gap.

In the emails, O' Neal also alleges that NBA star D.Wade and actress Lauren London were messing around together.
