Starting with Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan, NBA superstars are getting familiar with post-career navigation. However, none have made it mainstream quite like Shaquille O’Neal. Still, it wasn’t her father’s remarkable transformation into an international artist that caught Shaq’s daughter’s attention. Instead, her focus was on the ready-to-explode career of her stepfather.

The birth of DJ Diesel

When he first began his career as a DJ, Shaq was pooled in as a “celebrity DJ“. However, his ambitions were higher than that. For the former MVP, the goal was to become a full-fledged DJ. But opportunities were hard to come by with people questioning his skills.

However, O’Neal did not let up. As he continued practicing with his millionaire son Myles, slowly the opportunities began trickling in. Today, he stands as a premier name in the music world and is a constant in all major events. Within the last month, both UFC 290 and Wonderland have seen performances for the legendary hooper.
