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.
