Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal has shifted his focus to other interests post-retirement. Shaq turned into a DJ, who goes by the name ‘DJ Diesel’, and made a household name for himself. The 7 ‘1 giant was always interested in producing music and, with multiple songs under his belt, finally became a DJ in 2014. 

Recently, a massive update by an $8 million DJ got fans and Shaq excited. The update sent a massive surge across the fans of the music community.

A month ago, DJ Crankdat gained a lot of popularity after working with the basketball legend. His work became so well known that even DJ Snake took notice of him. Working with ‘the world’s biggest DJ’ paid off handsomely for him. 

Shaquille O’Neal recently posted a video of his dear friend, DJ Crankdat, on his Instagram stories. Crankdat’s reaction to DJ Snake performing their unreleased song at his event is captured on video. 

Crankdat, who posted the video online, remarked, “Oppenheimer is now the second most explosive thing I’ve seen this month.”

After hearing the teaser, fans of both musicians can’t wait for the full song to drop. Shaq could not resist posting the clip while the audience bombarded with love and eagerness for DJ Crankdat and DJ Snake in the comment section.

A fan found DJ Crankdat’s reaction amusing and got excited about the drop: “bro got flashbanged by his own drop.” Another fan who is excited to see two of his favorite artists coming together for a collaboration wrote, “CRANKSNAKE LOADING.”

One of the fans who could not believe the collaboration was happening simply wrote, “OH MY.” An over-excited fan who thought the drop hit him hard, compared to going through a brick wall to the song. “There’s simply not enough brick walls for me to run though [sic] anymore…”

Even DJ Snake could not resist joining the fans as he wrote, “LET’S GO.”

How did Shaquille O’Neal’s collaboration with DJ Crankdat go?

The group released ‘Heat’ at the beginning of July 2023. Many listeners around the globe expressed their appreciation for their music. It’s clear that the two DJs get along great and encourage one another to grow as a performer and as a person.
