Shaquille O'Neal is one of the most famous figure in NBA and his career established him as one of the all-time greats, and even after that, his work as a league analyst has had a pretty significant impact.
In addition, he has numerous endorsement deals, an enormous net worth of $400 million, and is considered by many to be a celebrity. However, Shaq finds the word unpleasant.
Shaquille O'Neal recently had a conversation with Logan Paul and the 'ImPaulsive' podcast crew, which was both interesting and entertaining. Even the participants appeared to be having fun.
But, there was a moment where Shaq's response was unexpected and undoubtedly a little bit harsh to many of the individuals who consider themselves celebrities.
Logan Paul said to Shaq: "You know celebrities like turn DJs." Shaq immediately said: "I know you didn't just call me the C word." The host asked him further: "You don't think you are a celebrity?" to which Shaq replied: "No, I denounced myself from being a celeb 3 years ago."
Shaq further added: "No I'm gonna tell you why cause celebrities are a**holes, they're rude, they are obnoxious, they're arrogant, and I'm not like that. I'm just a regular guy as you see I came here by myself no entourage, no security......"
It's also true that Shaq is most simple and more humble than most people would ever imagine, despite being a superstar. Therefore, he may have more reason to feel offended by the word 'celebrity' than anyone else may fathom.
But, in the end, it's also true that he has the recognition of a star with massive fan followers. He has 53.1 million followers across Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
