Natalie Nunn, a 41-year-old reality star, revealed during a recent podcast appearance that Shaquille O’Neal gifted her her first car while she was attending the University of Southern California in the early 2000s. Nunn stated that Shaq bought her a $21,000 Mercedes convertible, specifically a Volkswagen New Beetle, while he was playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and she was a college student. She clarified she never dated Shaq, despite the gift, and described herself as a USC student athlete with a background in soccer and track, even participating in the Junior Olympics. Nunn, known for her roles in shows like *Bad Girls Club*, turned 41 on December 26. She further explained that the car gift was a friendly gesture and denied any romantic relationship with Shaq. The incident highlights her athletic and entertainment career, including her business ventures such as a tequila line and a cannabis brand. Shaquille O’Neal has not commented publicly on her claims.
