Rihanna on Shaq's love interest list
AN E-MAIL exchange between former basketball player Shaquille O’Neal and Newsweek journalist, Allison Samuels, has revealed that the sportsman had a thing for Barbados-born singer, Rihanna.
The racy e-mails between O’Neal and Samuels were reportedly exchanged in 2008 when O’Neal is believed to have rekindled his relationship with his wife, Shaunie. The couple had separated in 2007.
The Los Angeles Times newspaper alleged that Samuels sent the former LA Lakers player a list of names of women whom he could pick from for dating, but the player is said to have turned each one of them down, saying none of them was his type. He then came up with his own suggestions, it is claimed
It is alleged that he told Samuels: “All I want is you or Rihanna.” However, the newspaper said, Samuels hinted at the Loud singer’s age saying: “Rihanna is too young - 19 - she is just legal.”
Neither Samuels nor O’Neal, who retired from professional basketball in June this year, have commented on these reports.
