Shaquille O’Neal, one of the most dominant players in NBA history, has left his mark both on and off the basketball court. Shaq’s accomplishments put him among the greatest players in history. He is well known for his incredible physical power, rim-finishing prowess, and astute post-game skills. During his illustrious 19-year career, he won four NBA championships and garnered several individual awards, which helped him cement his reputation.

However, Shaq’s influence extended far beyond his performance on the court. He has consistently made news off the court since retiring from the NBA. Most recently, he teased a major announcement about his alternate career. However, what’s surprising about his alternate career is that it doesn’t help him with raking in the dough at all.

The 7’1″ behemoth O’Neal has made forays into other fields besides philanthropy and sports, including the world of electronic dance music, where he has achieved popularity as a skilled DJ. He tours around the world to entertain people with his mixing skills. However, what’s noteworthy is the fact that even though he puts in money to entertain, he makes no money from his gigs as a DJ. He does it purely because of his love for music!

Shaq performs under the alias ‘DJ Diesel’ and has electrified several music festivals. His passion for entertaining people and his love of music have inspired him to seek this specific form of self-expression. In fact, he set up a unique Instagram account for his musical persona where followers can see snippets of his DJing experiences.
