On his podcast, The Big Podcast with Shaq, O'Neal addressed the rumors by reading some of the messages aloud before firmly stating that they were not real. He expressed that the style and tone of the messages did not align with his usual way of communicating, asserting that he possesses "way more game" than what was shown in the screenshots. O'Neal also humorously commented on the situation, while his podcast guest, rapper Jim Jones, pointed out that advancements in artificial intelligence and digital manipulation have made it easier to fabricate realistic but false content online. O'Neal maintained that the messages were indeed fake, as discussions about their source continue to spread across social media platforms.
