NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has been single for a long time since he divorced his wife Shaunie O’Neal in 2011. The couple had been together for more than nine years but their relationship had to come to a conclusion for various reasons. However, recently, the Big Diesel could be seen showering adulations over a popular rapper and songwriter. Incidentally, just a few months ago Shaq’s ex-wife Shaunie started a new journey with her now-husband Keion Henderson.
The popular rapper is none other than the Grammy Award-winning artist Cardi B. The Big Diesel showered adulations on Cardi B and other celebrities in the wake of a virtual party he’s hosting in 2023.

Shaq is hosting one of the hottest parties of the year, ‘The Shaq’tacular Spectacular’ on 31st Dec in virtual reality, where fans would be able to join in from their bedroom. At the party, they could see the DJ Shaq persona of the Big Diesel along with other noted celebrities like Cardi B, Killer Mike, Ludacris, Lil Yachty, Rob Gronkowski, and his girlfriend, among others.
In light of this, Katie Bain of ‘Billboard’ asked the 50-year-old a few questions.?During the Q&A, she asked the Big Diesel, “How do you make sure an event in VR has that same massive energy that you so love?? In response, the four-time NBA champion said, “You just have to have the right people there.”?
Thereafter he started complimenting the notable stars that would be coming to his virtual party, “Ludacris, from Atlanta ? hot. Lil Yachty has one of hottest songs of the year ? hot. Cardi B, beautiful, gorgeous ? hot. DJ Diesel ? hot. Rob Gronkowski ? hot.”

Moreover, the 50-year-old also didn’t forget to compliment Rob Gronkowski’s girlfriend. However, he exercised precautions before calling her ‘hot’ to avoid any conflict with the Gronk. On the other hand, Cardi B is also married to rapper Offset since 2017. So the Big Diesel forgot to take the precautionary measures on that end.
More details about the party
As mentioned earlier, the party would be hosted on New Year’s eve at 3:30 PM PT. It would be premiering exclusively in Meta Horizon Worlds or one could join from the Facebook and Instagram page of the four-time NBA champion. Another important point to be noted is that, since the party would be in virtual reality, one would need a Meta Quest 2 headset to start bobbing their heads in the party.
