Shaquille O’Neal was one such player who had the ability to impact the basketball game like no other. During his prime time, his performance conquered the game and fans’ hearts. Even after his retirement, he continues to move mountains and provide numerous opportunities to help young athletes. And his generosity extends to the realm of music as well.

With a $400 hundred million net worth, the big Aristotle has never hesitated to help out others. From donating the entire amount to renovate a group home for underprivileged children to being a part of the ‘Make a Wish’ foundation, the big man always tries to make other people happy. While fans already admire the legend, his kind gesture towards the underappreciated singers and musicians might gain his rumored Mexican girlfriend’s favor as well. 

Why did Shaquille O’Neal reject Dr. Dre?

While the legend has successfully carved out a place for himself in the music world, he wants to encourage aspiring musicians and rappers as well. Recently in an interview, he was questioned about his 4th rap album featuring some big names such as Dr. Dre and Rick Rock. 

When asked if he has any plans to release that album, DJ Diesel replied that he is more interested in shining the spotlight on the underrated artists. Explaining his reason, he said, “I kind of wanna focus on the youngsters that don’t really have a name like it’s easy for me to say hey I’m Shaq and here is Dr.Dre and get people into Dubai but I want these youngsters to have the chance so they can get a pink room I want Jessica Audiffred to have a pink room just like yours.”
