EXCLUSIVE – ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Shaq is possibly engaged to Hoopz aka Nicole Nikki Alexander. Shaq’s possible engagement to Hoopz (Flavor of Love, I Love Money) is revealed exclusively today to LALATE. For the first time ever, the business owner who saw it all happen identifies the woman who received the ring from Shaq.

“Yes. It was Nikki” reveals Sam David exclusively today.

David is owner of Sahara Mediterranean Cuisine. LALATE spoke with the fellow St Louis business owner today about reports that Shaq had put a ring on an unidentified female in the establishment on Monday. Today, LALATE provided David with pictures of Nicole Nikki Alexander from her Flavor of Love, I Love Money, and recent appearances.

David for first time reveals exclusively to LALATE that the woman Shaq put a ring on Monday was in fact Hoopz.

Sahara Mediterranean Cuisine and Hookah Lounge is a restaurant and hookah establishment in Bridgeton, MO. Bridgeton is a community near St Louis’ Lambert International Airport. David’s establishment on Natural Bridge Road was near closing at 11:30 pm on Monday. As few as three persons were in the place at time. At that point, David describes a custom vehicle pulling up, unlike anything you’ve ever seen. He thinks Shaq found his spot with a Navigation system.

“Within half an hour, the place was full.” “We had only had three or four guys in here [when Shaq arrived], we were closing.” David has no idea how word got out that Shaq was in a St Louis hookah spot. But within thirty minutes, STL fans were bustling to get in and see Shaq. David says his place stayed open for hours.

David confirms seeing, and hearing, what he believes was a possible proposal.

He adds respectfully “it’s their business”. “The lights were dim because of the atmosphere. He did put the ring on her. It did sound like a proposal.” “They were having fun. I guess he proposed to her.” “[And yes], it was Nicole [like] in the pictures.”
