"He's in trouble because I'm about to come after him" - Shaquille O'Neal stunned after hearing about xQc's $100 million Kick deal

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal recently appeared on the Full Squad Gaming podcast, where he discussed internet sensation Felix "xQc's" $100-million Kick deal. During the episode, one of the podcast hosts asked the former basketball player whether he was aware of the streamer. After the sports analyst responded in the negative, he was informed about the French-Canadian personality's contract with the Stake-backed platform.

O'Neal was stunned after learning the details of the contract, wondering if Kick was paying the 27-year-old millions of dollars just to play video games.

When another podcast host claimed that the contract was worth more than LeBron James' NBA deal with the LA Lakers, the former Boston Celtics player said:

"He's in trouble because I'm about to come after him."
