Today, Snoop sees O’Neal as an inspiration and is trying to emulate some of his business strategies. While on Logan Paul’s podcast Impaulsive, Snoop revealed how Shaq had inspired him.

Snoop: “I’m chasing Shaquille O’Neal right now. Shaq got so many motherf*cking commercials and business. This is my friend. When I say I’m chasing him, that’s for the right reasons, nothing negative or hate. I’m inspired by him, I love how he took his basketball career, put it on pause, and took his business mind. You can forget that he was a basketball player based on how business-minded he is.”
