Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal is known to be a big supporter and follower of the music industry. Adopting his nickname, ‘DJ Diesel’, Shaq has even performed at music festivals around the world as a DJ encore and rapper. While his 26-year-old stepson chose not to dive into the world of basketball, he shares the same level of passion for music as his father.

That zeal for music was on display recently. A photo shared by Shaq’s stepson on social media brought attention back to an event where he found common ground with a 60s music legend.

Shaquille O’Neal’s son poses with a Cadillac

Myles O’Neal recently took to Instagram to share a picture with his 296,000 followers on his story. The aspiring artist was seen with a vintage camera in hand, posing alongside a pink Cadillac.

The picture was taken back in October 2022, when Myles visited the Cadillac Jacks Cafe & Pink Motel in Sun Valley, California. With an environment created to represent the 1950s, the place prides itself on being a movie set that can be rented out to shoot films or shows representing that era.

When it comes to Cadillac, only one name comes to mind: Elvis Presley

By generating interest in the General Motors car, Myles O’Neal finds himself to be sharing an affinity with legendary music artist Elvis Presley.

The Suspicious Minds and If Can I Dream singer was known for his love of Cadillacs, owning over 200 of them during his 42-year lifespan. The same love was highlighted in the singer’s 2022 biopic Elvis.

The most famous amongst them was Presley’s 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special. First mentioned by him in his 1955 song Baby, Let’s Play House, the car has become a prominent representation of the 1950s-60s. The Cadillac is currently preserved at Graceland, Elvis’s house, and his final resting place.

Believe it or not – Shaquille O’Neal and Elvis do share a connection. It was only a year ago when DJ Diesel made headlines after revealing that he spent over $135 million to acquire the royalty rights of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and other deceased celebrities.

Fans are always left with a feeling of plethora when the worlds of two different legends collide. The culture left behind by ‘The King of Rock and Roll’ continues to be a source of style for the current generation. It will continue to be so for years to come.
