How is SHAQ Air Fryer related to Shaquille O'Neal? All you need to know
NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has had many product endorsements over the years, ranging from fast food to video games to household products. However, some of the products he promotes are from companies he owns.
This includes the SHAQ Air Fryer, which is a product that helps people to air fry food without the use of oil. It supposedly results in food that is not only less oily but includes less fat and calories. The product is powered by a super-heated cyclonic fryer using 1700 watts of heat and is created to be easy to use.
Business ventures like this have continued to grow Shaquille O’Neal’s wealth even after retirement. O’Neal’s net worth is reportedly over 400 million dollars currently.
His influence also left its mark on WNBA superstar Candance Parker. During an NBA broadcast on TNT, Parker shared some of her motivations during her championship run with the Chicago Sky in 2021. She explained how seeing Shaquille O’Neal’s air fryer commercial inspired her. Parker spoke about how a goal of hers was to become as influential as O’Neal.
"He was advertising an air fryer." 😂

In the NBA on TNT broadcast, Shaquille O’Neal was later asked about the air fryer commercial that inspired Candace Parker. He was specifically asked how he ended up endorsing the product in the commercial and O’Neal responded by saying
“I don’t mean to sound braggadocios, but I do own the company, I’m just the face of my own product."
