On Friday, Shaquille O’Neal was all in on meeting fans in Michigan. It was for the Big Chicken location in Hartland, where the Lakers legend met dozens of fans. But just a few days later, the 7-foot phenom is trying the old methods of celebrities of going “incognito.” Well, to be honest, he has tried multiple times in the past and has failed. Maybe he should ask Kim Kardashian. After all, she once was successful in blending in.

“SHAQ goes incognito mode in Toronto 😂” was the caption from the collaboration post of Shaquille O’Neal and Hot Freestyle. In the video, Shaq wore a black Reebok hoodie and used goggles to hide his face at night. But just a few seconds later, a fan said, “What’s up Shaq?” Thus, the plan came to an end very early on. Talking about the lesson from Kardashian, she was once successful during the episode of ‘Celebrities Undercover’.

Although she had massive help, thanks to using fake prosthetics to blend in with some of her fans. Maybe the 4x NBA champion should try that next time. However, one can imagine why it would be difficult since having a tall frame as the 7-footer is not a common thing. But if you are wondering why Shaquille O’Neal is in Canada, well, it’s for two reasons. One is because he has amassed over $500 million in net worth and is sharing the mantra during the Investor Summit.

“Hey, it’s Shaquille O’Neal. I’m excited to be speaking at the 40th Keyspire Investors’ Summit in Toronto, Ontario.” The Los Angeles Lakers legend explained that he will be helping investors by sharing tips on how to invest in real estate. The other reason Shaq was in Canada was for his hobby and side hustle.

DJ Diesel graced Canada for the event at Rebel Entertainment Complex. Last year too, Shaquille O’Neal, performed at the RBCxMusic Night in Toronto. It was for a packed crowd at RBC House for TIFF’s opening weekend. Despite the city knowing, he still tried hiding but failed.

Previous failed ‘incognito’ attempts by Shaquille O’Neal

On another visit away from home, Shaq was in London in August. He was playing another EDM show, plus the Team USA was also there for their pre-Olympics exhibition. The 52-year-old shared the results of his latest social experiment on TikTok. “In London. Let’s see if they recognize me. Time to put on my disguise.” For masking, he once again wore the big shades to cover his face.

He also said, “Hope nobody recognizes me.” But it failed and in approximately 45 seconds. Before his trip to Toronto and London, Shaq also tried hiding at a music festival. “Trying to go incognito at the festival,” was the caption on DJ Diesel’s Instagram.

This time, Shaquille O’Neal provided the time for how long his undercover mission lasted. “Lasted a good 10 seconds before my cover got blown.”Because some fan of Shaq was quick to spot the legend and yelled, “Oh s*** It’s Shaq!” It was a fan named Blake Hollingsworth, who also recorded the moment which O’Neal uploaded later. Despite multiple failed missions, the Big Aristotle is not shying away from his efforts to be undercover.
