Remember that infamous meme, “Reeeeeel Badman”? Well, it’s back again. And this time it’s Shaquille O’Neal who is here to remind us of its hilarity. In a recent Instagram post, the basketball legend shared an adlib video reminiscent of that famous meme. While the video features O’Neal playfully imitating a Jamaican accent, thinking it was just a joke, little did people know it was his plan to keep Charles Barkley’s jokes alive and bring laughter to his fans.

The joke, you may ask? Well, first we have to understand the meme and go back to the past. In 2003, a clip from a Jamaica News interview went viral, and even to this day, the meme is deemed “legendary.” In the interview, Ninjiaman, a controversial Jamaican deejay, was asked how many kids he had. And with a shift reply, he said “23 children, 22 baby mothers,” followed by “Reeeel Badman,” which has been clipped since that day.

Back to Shaq’s post, he posted a video of him lipsyncing that famous meme and posting it on his Instagram with the caption “reeeeeeeeeel BODMAN”. While many trolled the NBA Hall of Famer, the joke lives on from just a simple post.

Yikes! Maybe that was too smooth and direct from Chuck but he is used to making those sorts of witty jokes. But the question remains, “Does Shaq have too many kids”. From jokes, we may have got a hint, but in his personal life, we may never know certain things.
