Once one of the most dominant players in the NBA, O’Neal, who is commonly known as “Shaq,” has transformed into a top-level entertainer and television sports analyst. At 7’1″ and 325 pounds, his larger-than-life personality and the powerful athleticism he displayed as a player have resulted in worldwide attention while developing passionate fan bases in sports and entertainment.
The NBA Hall of Famer first discovered electronic dance music after crashing the festival TomorrowWorld in 2014, a milestone event that exposed him to DJs such as Steve Aoki and Skrillex. From there, O’Neal’s career as DJ Diesel was born as he cemented the title of “the biggest DJ in the world.” DJ Diesel has graced main stages around the world while balancing a Wynn Las Vegas residency.
For more than two decades, Nelly has been connecting generations with his exuberant anthems, fusing musical genres and engaging in multiple entertainment mediums including music, television and film. A multi-platinum, three-time Grammy Award-winning rap star, entrepreneur, philanthropist and actor, Nelly first gained widespread success in the early 2000s.
His commercial debut album “Country Grammar” featured the title track and the single “Ride wit Me,” both of which were top-10 hits. His follow-up album, “Nellyville,” produced the No. 1 hits “Hot in Here” and “Dilemma” (featuring Kelly Rowland), along with the top-five single “Air Force Ones.”
