You see, to be a successful Disc Jockey, you must obviously have impeccable taste in all kinds of music. And given how successful DJ Diesel is, we’d say that the man has that in spades.
So, in turn, when he takes an interest in an artist, it is a compliment of the highest order. And on one occasion, hip-hop star Glorilla revealed how she discovered that she was on that list.
Let’s dive into it.
Glorilla talks about the special moment she found out Shaquille O’Neal had taken an interest in her

Finding out that the man you idolized for so long is now a fan of yours is possibly the greatest feeling in the world. But unfortunately, it isn’t one that most people in the world are privy to.
Luckily for her, Glorilla was one of the few to have achieved enough to win this honor. And something tells us Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t mind being put in that position by the hip-hop artist.
Shaquille O’Neal was once confronted by idols of his own
During the prime of his NBA career, Shaquille O’Neal famously had a deal with Reebok. And during his time with the brand, Shaq took them to new, almost unforeseen heights.
So, what did Reebok do to add to the man’s hype at the time? They paired him up with all of his past basketball idols. And frankly, it resulted in one of the most iconic commercials of all time.
When it comes to the greatest commercials in NBA history, this one isn’t brought up nearly enough. And we do hope that one day this masterpiece will receive all the love it deserves.
