AN MP has slipped in YouTube rapper Big Shaq lyrics into their Commons speech - but no one noticed.

Labour representative Fiona Onasanya couldn't resist dropping in lines as they debated the Budget last week.

The 33-year-old whipped out his lyrics as part of discussions about education funding.

She said: "There was no extra money in the Budget for the education system.

"This is not as simple as saying, '2 plus 2 is 4, minus 3 is 1 - quick maths.'

"These announcements mean real-terms cuts and the potential continuation of the recruitment and retention crisis in our education system."

Other MPs didn't notice the joke, but users on Twitter spotted the cheeky reference.

Big Shaq is a YouTube rapper who has racked up nearly 80 million views.

His first single 'Man's Not Hot' has shot up the streaming charts after he performed in on Radio1Extra.

And he was even mentioned by Jeremy Corbyn at Labour conference.

Shaq is actually an alter-ego creation by British comedian Michael Dapahh in a documentary serious called Somewhere in London.

"I'm a creative comedic entertainer who enjoys bringing good content to the world," he told BBC Newsbeat.

"I'm not Big Shaq - Shaq is his own person."

He told NME he's considering doing a next song for winter - 'Man's Not Cold'.
