NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal recently stopped by Fort Worth and Addison to shoot a music video with a local rapper on March 22.
Fort Worth rapper Twisted Black called on O’Neal to appear in his music video for “Knock Knock” from his recently released album Jacking Beats. O’Neal was already in town for his Shaq’s Bass All Stars Festival, which was on March 21.
Production on the music video began in south Fort Worth at McHenry Car Wash & Detailing.
Dozens of people were seen surrounding the pair as they filmed the video, according to social media posts. From there, scenes were filmed inside the Stella Jets hangar at Addison Airport.
O’Neal also stopped by Nana’s Kitchen in east Fort Worth, where he took photos and videos with staff and customers. One of the videos posted by Nana’s Kitchen shows owner Toshia “Nana” Ramsey smacking O’Neal on the butt.
O’Neal has a home in North Texas and stops by Fort Worth occasionally.
In September 2024, O’Neal visited his new restaurant, Big Chicken, on its opening day. There, he met and took photos with hungry customers at the north Fort Worth restaurant.
Fort Worth’s Panther Island Pavilion has hosted his Shaq’s Bass All Stars Festival since 2023. Bass is an amalgamation of electronic music, featuring stylings such as dubstep and trap.
In 2022, the 15-time NBA All-Star bought a nearly 5,300-square-foot home in Carrollton. Two years later, O’Neal bought another property in Heath and sold his Carrollton home.
