Shaq thinks his rap career was nothing but tip money
After a brief appearance on “The Arsenio Hall Show,” a late-night talk program, Shaquille O’Neal’s rap career was set. Fans would not have to look for the well-known and beloved basketball player, though; instead, they would have to find Shaq Diesel, who went by a different stage name while rapping and selling over a million records. Shaq Diesel’s single “(I Know I Got) Skillz” hit number 35 on the charts and went platinum, as if that wasn’t enough. Regretfully, the athlete only ever saw $60,000 of his income due to the way musicians get paid, but the celebrity was unconcerned about that. Later, Shaq said that all he had ever done in his rap career was “tip money.”

The New York Times wasn’t impressed with his acting roles
Shaquille O’Neal is a man of many skills, if there’s one thing that many of us have learnt. Shaq has not only had a successful rap career but has also played basketball and found time to perform in his spare time. Regretfully, over the years, The New York Times has published some somewhat critical remarks about the celebrity. Let’s be honest, who among us “can’t hold a flickering lamp to Robin Williams”? Shaq featured in the musical fantasy “Kazaam” in 1996. The New York Times didn’t stop there, either, expressing their amazement that Shaq hadn’t “slam-dunk the script into the nearest wastebasket.” Ouch.
