Ariana Cossie, the stunning Home Depot employee who became an internet sensation for her selfie at work, has received a surprising message from NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. The four-time champion slid into her DMs to offer some advice and also make a playful move on her.

Ariana, who uses the handle @ariijosephine on Instagram, shared a photo of herself wearing a Home Depot apron on June 9. The photo quickly went viral on social media, with many people commending her for choosing a regular job instead of starting an Only Fans account and others trolling her for the same.

One of those people was Shaq, who decided to reach out to her privately on Instagram. Ariana posted a screenshot of their chat on her Instagram story, where Shaq wrote: “Don’t let them people bother you. Have a great day tell all your boyfriends I said hello lol.”

Ariana replied, “I will thank you.” She also added a laughing emoji and a heart emoji to the message.

Shaq is known for his fun-loving personality and his passion for music and entertainment. He is also a police officer and a DJ who has performed around the world. However, this is not the first time that he has slid into a girl’s DMs and got exposed.

Back in September 2017, Shaq was caught messaging another girl on Instagram after he played a DJ set in Arizona. The girl, named Roxanne Watlington, tagged Shaq on her Instagram story while recording his performance.

Shaq then messaged her privately, saying: “You thought wrong. I’m also police shhh.” However, Roxanne did not keep their conversation private. She posted their messages on her Twitter account, which went viral. Shaq was not happy with this and cryptically asked her to delete her tweet. But she refused and sarcastically thanked him for making her famous.

Shaq has not commented on his latest DM exchange with Ariana. It is unclear if he was serious about his flirtatious remark or if he was just joking around. Ariana seems to have taken it lightly and has not responded to him publicly.

She has not revealed if she has any boyfriends or if she is interested in Shaq. But she has certainly made an impression on the internet and on one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
