600 Million Worth DJ Diesel Shaquille O’Neal’s Hip Hop Comeback Might Not Have Been Possible If Not for Iconic Rock Band

Shaquille O’Neal’s fame as a musician is second only to his fame as an NBA icon. The Los Angeles Lakers legend has ventured into both hip-hop and electronic music and has made his name heard. His ability to navigate a killer set has rightly earned him the nickname DJ Diesel. However, it has been quite some time since fans have heard Shaq spit a verse. However, Shaq the rapper has recently ended fans’ long wait after dropping a banger.

It has only been a week since Shaquille O’Neal made his hip-hop comeback with the track Th***ies Hit the Floor. Fans have been celebrating the Diesel’s much-awaited hip-hop return ever since.

The Big Aristotle has used the iconic nu-metal song Bodies as a backing track in his latest freestyle hip-hop offering, according to a recent report on maniacsonline.com.
