Shaquille O’Neal, the former NBA champion, has always been known for his entrepreneurial spirit and knack for seeking out opportunities. This time, he’s set his sights on a rather unconventional venture: OnlyFans.
The towering basketball icon announced his intentions to dip his toes, quite literally, into the world of OnlyFans. O’Neal was inspired by the success of Bhad Bhabie, who reportedly made over $52 million on the platform.
In his trademark humorous style, Shaq, on an episode of “Inside the NBA”, declared, “First of all, I’m starting an OnlyFans of my toes. If Bhad Bhabie can make $50 million, I can make 20”. This revelation left his co-host, Charles Barkley, chuckling and unbelieving.
Barkley couldn’t resist poking fun at Shaq’s unconventional career move. He asked, “You think people wanna see your feet?”. Shaq confidently responded, “Yes, it’s a fetish. Not that I know it’s a fetish, I just heard that it’s a fetish”.
Interestingly, this wasn’t the first time Diesel shared his plans. On an episode of “The Big Podcast with Shaq,” the former NBA star, joined by Anthony ‘Spice’ Adams and Nischelle Turner, delved into the viral sensation that Bhad Bhabie has become.
Upon learning of her staggering earnings, Shaq humorously suggested the idea of starting an OnlyFans account together. Shaq even came up with a catchy name for this: “Toes before bros!”. As the conversation continued, his playful tone shifted towards something a bit more serious.

Shaquille O’Neal’s decision to explore this aligns with his track record of diversifying his income streams. Beyond his basketball career, the Lakers star has ventured into various businesses, from owning restaurants to investing in real estate.
OnlyFans, despite its controversial reputation, has proven to be a lucrative platform for those who can attract a dedicated audience. O’Neal, with his massive following and celebrity status, might just have what it takes to turn this into a source of income.

Shaq’s inspiration came from the success story of Bhad Bhabie. Her claim to fame began with her memorable appearance on the Dr. Phil Show as a troubled teenager. Further, she has managed to transition from a viral sensation to a full-fledged internet model.
His newfound interest in OnlyFans, sparked by Bhabie’s staggering earnings, is not the only connection to the platform in the O’Neal family. His son, Myles O’Neal, was reportedly head over heels with Kelsey Calemine, who has her own presence on OnlyFans.
While Shaq’s exact plans regarding OnlyFans remain uncertain, it’s clear that he doesn’t intend to slow down on his quest for financial success.
