In his lifetime, Shaquille O’Neal has undoubtedly been a jack of all trades. The Big Diesel first enjoyed one of the most decorated careers in NBA history. However, he didn’t just want to stop there. After earning a whopping sum as the most dominant center of his time on the court, Shaq then conquered the business world. Sitting on a net worth of $400 million, the four-time NBA champion rediscovered one of his old passions, music.
Shaq’s relationship with music began back in 1993. Playing for the Orlando Magic, the 15-time All-Star dropped his first album, Shaq Diesel. His debut album went viral and became his only Platinum-selling music album. After going on a long hiatus, he returned, but this time as a DJ. Taking on the name of DJ Diesel on the stage, he began controlling the spotlight once again.

Tyson is widely regarded as one of the most ruthless heavyweights of all time. Just his name was arguably enough to send shivers down his opponents’ spines.

And what better place than an event hosted by Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal himself.
Bringing his DJ set to Las Vegas, Shaq and Mike Tyson met up. The 7-foot giant made a 5’10” Mike Tyson almost look like a dwarf. Ready to get in the booth, Tyson wasn’t the only boxing legend who wanted to get some Big Diesel action. Approaching his much-anticipated fight with Conor McGregor at the time, even Floyd Mayweather was present at the Rehab Beach Club in Vegas.
