The four-time NBA champion also chose to remain single after witnessing his ex-wife Shaunie tying the knot with her current husband, Keion Henderson, last year.

Shaquille O’Neal proposed marriage to a Grammy Award nominee

In one of the recent episodes of ‘The Big Podcast with Shaq’, O’Neal gave a marriage proposal to the Memphis-based hip-hop artist Gloria Hallelujah Woods, known by her stage name, GloRilla.

During the podcast, Nischelle Turner (one of the co-hosts) asked the former Lakers player to choose his favorite artists from the list, containing the names of Lil Baby, DaBaby, Lil Durk, and GloRilla.

In reply, instead of choosing his favorite artist, the four-time NBA champion surprisingly said, “GloRilla, will you marry me?” Turner replied while giggling, “I just saw your girl on the Grammy red carpet…she looked cute..she looked really nice.”

Shaq surely made the marriage proposal as a joke. The Big Diesel didn’t mean it seriously because everybody in the hoops universe knows that he often passes these kinds of playful remarks in the real and virtual world.
