Shaquille O’Neal, also known as Shaq, appeared at 21-year-old OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain’s birthday party, which wasn’t entirely well-received. Rain recently shared a photo with O’Neal on her social media and posted a video inviting everyone to get on the floor to dance. While some fans reacted positively to this unexpected crossover, others shared their disappointment.

The backlash sparked when Rain took to her X (formerly Twitter) account to share a picture of her and Shaq from her birthday bash.

One wrote, “Gross but not entirely unsurprising coming from Shaq.”
Although the picture received many negative comments, a few users also shared positive reactions. One fan said, “Only Sophie would casually bump into a literal legend on her birthday.” Another said, “Shaq really be looking like that cool unc.” A third said, “Birthday level: legendary.”
In conversation with Where is the Buzz, Rain opened up about her birthday celebration, which was also graced by the NBA star. She said, “I did not think my 21st would go this way. Shaq was so gracious, so real. He made me feel like I was the center of attention, which is crazy to say because it was my birthday.”
