After receiving a diamond-encrusted Maybach Music chain, Shaq discussed his early encounters with Rozay in his Miami career. “Rick told me a story about how he met me a long time ago and handed me his tape. He mentioned that I was courteous to him. I re-met him in 2006, ‘cuz, you know, we wanna be y’all, and y’all wanna be us,” he stated before praising the Carol City talent for the breakout hit “Hustlin’.” “That was my joint whenever I went to the sports… “This guy helped me win the championship in Miami.”

Shaq then disclosed that he collaborated on a remix of the September release “SHAQ & KOBE” with active NBA star Damian Lillard, also known as Dame D.O.L.L.A. “[Ross] handed me the remix first. I was in the studio goofing about, and I just did something,” he said. “I was like, ‘Please like this. Please like it. I truly felt the same emotion with him as I did with Biggie.
