With Shaquille O’Neal flexing some rap bars and recently starring in an American Express commercial, rap newcomer 22 Savage tells SOHH about the day he met up with the NBA legend.
According to Savage, he just happened to recently roll up on Shaq at Louisiana State University’s campus.
“I was just walking and going to see one of my h*es. She goes to LSU. I left out and I had just seen Shaquille O’Neal just sitting down. I was like, “Say man, is that Shaq? I gotta take a picture with this n*gga.” Actually, Shaq knew who I was. He said, “Man, I seen you been making all of those videos,” and I said, “Oh yeah?” Then he said, “Keep it up.”” (SOHH)

Back in September, rap veteran Nas called Shaq the best-ever NBA hip-hop artist.
“Shaq! That’s the go-to because he pulled off an amazing thing. He had great artists on records and we listened to those records. And it sold, [I think it] went platinum. It sold records. It sold like a platinum, yeah, he did his thing and Biggie was on ‘You Can’t Stop The Reign.’ He did his thing.” (“Any Given Wednesday”)
