Shaq handed Jazzy what looked like a $20 bill for a bet he lost. The terms of the bet are still unclear; however, Shaq made sure that the young lady learned a few valuable lessons. 

He said, “Don’t take nothing else from strangers, you understand me?”

In addition, O’ Neal told Jazzy to always listen to her parents. O’Neal told the young lady that he was proud of her, while also giving her a lot of financial advice. He went ahead and taxed the lady on her $20 bill!

Shaq said,“ Now that you’re an adult, I’m gonna teach you something. This is for all little kids. The money that I gave you I forgot to tax you, I forgot to tax you! It’s called income tax, so I’m just going to take a little income tax and you can keep the rest.”

O’Neal took his time out from performing at the event in New York City and taught Jazzy about income tax.
