Shaq Says He Could Have Saved Biggie From Death

Boston Celtics Star Shaquille O’Neal says that he believes had he been with Notorious B.I.G. on the night the rapper was shot, he could have saved him. The two had been pals for years (even recording a song together).

The night Biggie was shot, O’Neal says he was supposed to be there:

“I was on my way. I was dressed…..Usually Uncle Jerome will just come up, but I guess he tried to call and the front desk wouldn’t let him through. I just fell asleep. I woke up about 4 o’clock from a call from my mother. She said ‘Did you go to the party?’ I’m like, ‘No, what are you talking about?’ She said, ‘You know, your friend was shot and killed.’ And I was like, ‘What?’ So then I hung up with her and called some people and they told me what had happened.”

Rapper Lil’ Cease agreed: “I think that would have changed things,” he said. “If Shaq would have said ‘You know what, I’mma come with y’all.’ I’m sure him and B.I.G. would have rolled together, because that’s the type of person B.I.G. was. I’m sure Shaq would have had security and I’m sure B.I.G. would have had enough security to come with him that day to make sure Shaq was alright. So I definitely think if Shaq would have been there, it definitely would have changed, definitely would have changed.”
