Shaquille O’Neal has been threatened with a lawsuit over social media by famous influencer Adian Ross after the two words ringside at UFC 314 on Saturday night. 

O’Neal was one of dozens of famous people at the event including President Donald Trump, who Ross has vehemently supported.  

On Ross’ Instagram story, O’Neal can be seen menacingly looking at his camera mouthing, ‘Imma f***ing kill you!’ multiple times. 

Ross replies, ‘Then do it!’ after O’Neal walks away. The caption to the story says, ‘@Shaq, please do it I can’t wait to sue’. 

In the next story, Ross can be seen going up to O’Neal, who has his back turned to him and rubbing his head, with the NBA legend turning around furiously. 

Of course, with Ross’ reputation, all of this could be for show and content purposes only.

In their seats, O’Neal and Ross can be seen getting into it verbally again, with the former Laker saying, ‘What the f** you looking at, imma f***ing kill you… imma fu***ng knock your a** out;. 

O’Neal was also seen making motions about punching Ross and also slitting his throat. 

Ross does not verbally back down, calling O’Neal an ‘old man’. 

There is a near-three-decade age difference between the duo, as O’Neal is 52, while Ross is 24.
