Shaquille O’Neal drops into Fortnite on October 4 with two unlockable outfits and lots of matching in-game cosmetics.
Shaquille O’Neal, also known as DJ Diesel, is making his Fortnite debut this weekend. Starting October 4 at 8 PM ET, fans can unlock two Shaq outfits and an array of matching in-game cosmetics.
“I conquered the court, rocked stadiums, and now it’s time to dominate Fortnite!” says Shaq. “Each chapter of my career has been about breaking boundaries and creating epic experiences through sports, music, and entertainment that bring people together. Stepping into Fortnite is an exciting new frontier for me that allows me to blend my love for music with the thrill of gaming. Get ready, because I’m bringing the heat to the island!”
Fans will be able to score Shaq’s DJ Diesel outfit, a reactive outfit that lights up as you rack up eliminations, and also comes in an all-black Festival Headliner Variant. The Super Shaq outfit offers seven different colors to choose from for the larger-than-life superstar, while fans can also nab two emotes (One N’ Twos and Shaq Shimmy).
One of the world’s most successful athletes-turned-businessmen, Shaq’s accomplishments, both on and off the court, have translated into a highly sought-after consumer brand. As an entrepreneur, sports analyst, DJ, restaurateur, and brand ambassador, Shaquille O’Neal’s signature “Business of Fun” mantra resonates throughout each of his ventures.
In addition to his illustrious NBA career, Shaq has been involved in the music scene since the 1990s. Beginning with his work with rap group the Fu-Schnickens and the release of four rap albums as Shaq Diesel, these days he’s better known as DJ Diesel. His DJ business has become a global enterprise with Shaq’s Bass All-Stars Festival and Shaq’s Fun House, an immersive event series combining live performances, carnival rides, and celebrity appearances.
O’Neal, who has a PhD in Leadership and Education, established The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation, which provides resources for underserved youth. He also gives back through several philanthropic programs, including Shaq-to-School and Shaq-a-Claus.
