Was Shaquille O'Neal arrested? Exploring why he was swarmed by Nashville Police

Since retiring from the NBA, Shaquille O'Neal has taken on countless different ventures. His newest hobby involved him having a run in with law enforcement in Nashville.

Over the past year, Shaq has broken into the world of DJing. "DJ Diesel" has performed all over the country, with Nashville being his latest stop. The Hall of Fame big man had a moment with police after the show, but he was not in any sort of trouble.

After leaving the show, Nashville PD surrounded Shaquille O'Neal, but only to get a picture with him. The police were extremely excited to meet him, as were fans in attendance. Shaq hung around for a little to shake greet some of the patrons before getting into his car and leaving the venue.

Dating back to his playing days, the LA Lakers legend has always had a passion for music. Before becoming a DJ, he released multiple hip-hop albums. While some feel Damian Lillard is the best rapper the NBA, Shaq believes that title belong to him.

Shaq is currently on tour with his DJ act, with Phoenix, Arizona being one of his next stops. Later in the summer, he'll be performing at multiple venues across Las Vegas.

Along with pursuing his passion for music, DJing has always allowed Shaq to grow closer with one of his children. One of his sons, Myles O'Neal, has also made a name for himself in the music.

"I've seen him perform many times and he's really good. I'm actually jealous, he's really good," Shaq said. "I'm super proud of him because he did it the same way I did it."
