Shaquille O’Neal has never had a notorious personality. While he was prone to trash-talking and the occasional beef, Shaq never developed a negative image. As a result, his shift to business and entertainment has gone extremely well. As it turns out, O’Neal carried over his rock-solid reputation when he made the jump. A model citizen, Shaq has become an entertainer, a DJ, a philanthropist, and an analyst.

Recently, the former Los Angeles Lakers legend even warned his sons for any roguish behavior. Doubling down on his streak of good behavior, Shaq had a special announcement to make.

Shaquille O’Neal: A man of the people

As he announced on the newly released Threads, Shaq is hosting a County Party. As Shaq’s career as an entertainer and DJ has taken off, so has his participation in festivals and the like. Recently, O’Neal was at UFC 290 partying with a legend.

With the announcement of the event, came the list of celebrities attending it. Whether comedians like Double D or artists like Young Dro and 112, the event has something for everyone’s taste. While the event’s USP is a battle of the Old School vs the New School, the true goal is something completely different.

Even though the showcase is a battle between DJ Ron Allen and DJ Dirty, Shaq was quick to mention the main reason for the event. The Party will also serve as a Campaign Fundraiser for Sheriff Reginald Scandrett.

The event will take place on the 7th of August, from Stockbridge. Shaq invited everyone to join the event with a sweet caption for his friend, “Come join me for the Henry County Party/concert of the year! Campaign fundraiser for my brother Sheriff Reginald Scandrett on August 12th 7 pm.”
