Shaquille O’Neal is a gifted individual. He established himself as one of basketball’s most dominant players, making a reputation for himself in the process. But that was only one aspect of Big Diesel. He is also a businessman, actor, performer, rapper, DJ, and many other things.
Shaq has always had a preference for music; he wanted to rap and become a DJ. He is a rapper with platinum sales. He has also appeared in other films, including Kazaam, Steel, and others.
He has recently begun contributing as DJ Diesel. DJ Diesel is a well-known public figure that performs all over. He works for TNT as an on-air analyst concurrently. In addition, he co-hosts a TNT podcast where he talks about basketball and current events worldwide.
Shaq received four Emmy nominations recently. Big Diesel is a very upbeat individual, but this time he is certain he won’t prevail. This is why:
Shaquille O Neal Blames Charles Barkley for Not Winning Any Emmy
In his long career, Shaquille O’Neal has garnered a number of honors. Big Diesel is a winner, period, whether it’s winning in the NBA or winning on-screen. The Emmy, on the other hand, is the one trophy he’s never come close to taking home. The big man has a chance to alter that this year.
Nischelle Turner claims that Shaq has received four Emmy nominations.
- SHAQ OUTSTANDING DOCUMENTARY SERIES
- Inside the NBA OUTSTANDING STUDIO SHOW WEEKLY
- SHAQ -OUTSTANDING EDITING LONG FORM
- Shaquille O Neal OUTSTANDING PERSONALITY/STUDIO ANALYST
But Big Shaq doesn’t think he’ll take home an Emmy. He also holds Charles Barkley accountable. He stated:
Never will I win that prize. Don’t let me talk, Chuck. He keeps tripling or doubling. You recall that I yelled 1, 2, 3, 4, not 1, 2, 3, then I went back to 1. No, I won’t be receiving that Emmy. Do you understand the reason? Chuck keeps taking up all of my time when I might be doing much more! he is saying it again!
Nischelle then informed Shaq that Chuck and Kenny Smith had also received nominations for the same awards. Shaq stated, “I may lose,” without really responding to the same.
Shaq Once Lied About Winning Emmys
Shaq has received a number of Emmys thus far, but none of them are unique honors. Shaq was a part of the Inside the NBA team for 12 of its 17 Emmy wins. On the Big Podcast, Shaq revealed that he had directed an episode of Mo Better Skeeter during a game of Google Me.
Additionally, he asserted that the episode he directed was honored with an Emmy. Although he wasn’t called out for it, viewers who searched found no record of it whatsoever, proving that Big Diesel was caught lying.
The Big Diesel has the best potential to reverse perceptions and take home his first-ever solo Emmy awards this year.
