O’Neal participated in an interview with TMZ Sports on Monday.

During the interview, the NBA Hall of Famer said he will have his own gummies.

“Well, I joined the biggest candy maker in the world,” O’Neal told TMZ.

“Shaq is in the gum business.

“And guess what?

“You can take my head off at any time, America!”

O’Neal showed off the gummies that are shaped like his head.

The three flavors come in peach, berry punch, and orange.

Unfortunately, O’Neal was unable to share more information about the candy.

But he revealed that the sweets would be available “soon”.

With a net worth of $400 million, O’Neal wasn’t afraid to enter the business world.

In 2023, he was named Reebok President of Basketball.

O’Neal’s has partnered with a multitude of companies, including Papa John’s, Icy Hot, and The General Insurance.

It also owns 150 car washes, 40 fitness centers and the Big Chicken brand of chicken sandwiches.

O’Neal, 52, also makes investments, most recently in a company called Campus, which serves as an affordable online community college.

Still, the NBA icon continues his media career.

Since 2011, O’Neal has been a star of TNT’s Inside the NBA.

Unfortunately, the future of the show appears murky.

NBC is reportedly close to a deal for the NBA broadcast package.
