All my close friends know that Shaquille O’neal was the boo in my way head way before Shaunie, Superhead & Hoopz came along, so imagine my utter shock & dismay to hear that my fictional ex was a hoe! *gasp*

I know y’all remember when Shaq was accused of stalking his Atlanta jumpoff and then the jumpoff’s brother was beat up the bowling alley.

Well it kinda almost sorta makes sense now…

Shaq has recently been named in a criminal case in which a man says 7 gang members allegedly kidnapped & beat him up.

Oh but peep this…

It was all over a sex tape he’s in possession of that features Shaq having sex with several other women while he was married to Shaunie.

Read the full sordid details below:

According to TMZ, Shaq is connected to a notorious L.A. street gang called The Main Street Mafia Crips.

Back in 2008, Ladell Rowles (a close friend of Shaq’s) and 6 other members of the gang went on a search and destroy mission in L.A. to recover Shaq’s sex tape.

Robert Ross, (a Shaq buisness associate) had the tape and was apparently told Shaq he’d release it, so the 7 gang bangers set out to get it back by any means necessary.

According to a police report on the incident, the 7 gang members met up with Ross at a convenience store, where they allegedly surrounded his Rolls Royce Phantom with guns drawn, jumped into his car and ordered him to drive to Rowles’ house in South Central L.A.

Rowles allegedly pistol whipped Ross and demanded that he turn over the sex tape. Ross said he would get the tape and bring it back to them.

The 7 men then allegedly snatched Ross’ Rolex, diamond chain and earrings, along with $15,000 in cash…. then let him go.

The 7 gang members have all been arrested and charged with robbery, kidnapping and other crimes. They are currently in the middle of a preliminary hearing and being held in jail.

Shaq is not listed as a suspect in the case, but hopefully he’ll get to play himself in the onscreen version of this craziness. Mark my words… this would surely will be the next big black gangsta flick!!

So Ross has a Rolls Royce a Rolex and a Shaq sex tape, but how are they connected you ask…

Shaq and his business manager, Mark Stevens, have a record label and allegedly told Ross they would give him a 50% cut in any artists he brought to them. ? Ross claims he delivered Ray J to Shaq but got cut out of the deal.

Ross told cops after his falling out, he threatened Shaq by telling him about the sex tape, threatening to release it unless Shaq paid up.

As for the tape, Ross claims Shaq brought women to Ross’ home and had sex with them while he was married to Shaunie.

Ross told Shaq a “security camera” captured the action and it was all on tape. But Ross told cops the security camera recycles periodically and the video no longer exists.

And there’s another twist. Around the time Shaq and Ross had their falling out, Shaunie separated from Shaq and Ross claims he began having an affair with her.

Ross claims Shaq hired a private investigator to tail Shaunie and the P.I. caught the two together.

So… correction. Ross has a Rolls Royce, a Rolex, a Shaq sex tape AND Shaunie.

This should get interesting.
