Shaquille O’Neal on music artists performing in his party

Shaq’s Fun House is scheduled to take place on February 11th and is open to the public. Alongside an over-the-top carnival experience, the party promises an epic music lineup.

Superstars like Lil Wayne, Zedd and Diplo are some of the biggest names performing in the party. While talking in an interview regarding this party, Shaquille O’Neal revealed why he chose Lil Wayne over Snoop Dogg.

Shaq mentions, “I wanted to pick my main man Snoop. He’s one of my best friends, but of course he couldn’t do it because he’s going to be doing the halftime. But for me, why did I pick Lil Wayne ? Lil Wayne is the greatest to ever do it.”

He added, “And I may do a little something, something that day. We’re going to have a great time. We’re just gonna have a great time.” Judging by his words, it looks like the people attending the party stand a chance of seeing DJ Diesel perform too.

Who is DJ Diesel ?

Shaquille O’Neal’s love for DJing can be traced back to the 80’s. He has talked about his passion multiple times and has now established himself as ‘DJ Diesel’.

Shaquille O’Neal tries to have as much fun as possible when he is behind a turntable. “When you go to festivals, they’re there to just see a great performance. I just give them great music, with the way I put my blends and mixes together…” Shaq mentioned during the interview.

DJ Diesel is not your average neighborhood DJ. He has earned the reputation of performing in festivals like Tomorrowland in 2016.
