Shaq In Middle Of Kidnapping, Robbery, Sex Tape Case

According to TMZ, Shaquille O'Neal may have some old dirt catching up to him from a 2008 kidnapping and robbery by men allegedly hired by the ex-NBA superstar.

Authorities list Ladell Rowles, member of the Main Street Mafia Crip Gang in L.A as one of Shaq's friends that went on a mission to find and destroy a sex tape that captured O'Neal and other women while he was still married to Shaunie.

Rowles and six other men rolled up on a man named Robert Ross in his Rolls Royce Phantom, used firearms to forcefully kidnap him, steal his jewelry and $15,000 in cash, and ordered him to give them the tape.

How did Ross get the tape? Well the former friend of O'Neal used to let the "Big AARP" in his home to handle his side chick affairs and the security camera caught some of the action. Ross told the cops that the camera recycles and wipes away footage and no evidence really exists.

The threat to Shaq came from a business deal that Ross was apparently cut out of. Ross was supposed to get 50% of any artists he brought for Shaquille's label but received nothing out of a deal for the act he introduced to them, Ray J.

It gets a little deeper as Ross spilled the beans that he began to have an affair with Shaunie after she separated from her husband and Shaq hired a private investigator to confirm the relationship.

Shaquille O'Neal hasn't commented on the situation yet but Shaunie did have some recent advice for him in a TMZ interview below.
