Jay-Z and Shaquille O’Neal’s history goes back to 1996 when they collaborated on the NBA icon’s ‘No Love Lost’ album
Shaquille O’Neal teamed up with Jay-Z and Nas on his 1996 album No Love Lost, it took two decades for the musical collaboration to be released.
“You know how it is with clearances and all that,” O’Neal explained during the October 2022 appearance. “People didn’t clear it. Look, I didn’t take it personal ‘cause again, me being in the studio with Nas, I’m happy. I get to call my boy and be like, ‘Hey, come over, Nas is over.’ I get to call my boy and say, ‘Hey, Jay in here.’ I got to call my boy and say, ‘Yo, Biggie at the house. We about to jump on the seat.’ That’s what it’s all about.
“For me, getting in the studio with those guys, I made it,” O’Neal recalled on a 2012 episode of SiriusXM’s Sway in the Morning radio show. “It wasn’t about going platinum or selling albums. I heard Jay-Z say this one time and I’m gonna repeat what he said. For me, that was little money doing the album. It wasn’t about that.”As for Jay-Z and Nas, they buried the hatchet in the mid-2000s and have collaborated many times since then.
Jay-Z signed a brand deal with Reebok in 2002, releasing a line of shoes and clothes. The Jay-Z x S. Carter “White Green Red” pair of sneakers was even inspired by O’Neal and fellow retired NBA star Allen Iverson.
